The things orbiting around some planets are things that look like meteors or asteroids. They are really large peices of Giant fecies.

What two things cause planets to orbit the sun?
i know only one and it's a good one, the sun's gravity pulls the planets from flying some where else EDIT: Gravity pulls objects together and angular momentum makes sure planets orbit
What planets orbit interacts with plutos orbit?
Pluto's orbit is more elliptical than the major planets' orbits, and every time it goes round it spends some years inside Neptune's orbit.
Which galaxy are the planets on?
Planets orbit stars, stars orbit a galaxy. Planets are not "on" anything. A lot of stars out there have planets - we are just finding out how many now that we have better techniques to find them. So probably all galaxies have at least some stars with planets.
Why is it important to take care of the planets?
Some planets provide the solid surfaces on which lifeforms can exist. The total mass of the planets helps to counteract the gravity of the Sun and establish stable orbits for the smaller ones. The gravity of the major planets sweeps smaller bodies in their orbits, and lowers the frequency of collisions in the solar system.
What is the relationship between the distance of the planets from the sun and the time it takes to revolve around the sun?
there is no true relationship between distance from the sun and orbit time as some planets go revolves at a different velocity.
What planet do all the planets evolve around?
I am not familiar with planets evolving around any singular planet. If you are referring to orbit, the planets orbit the sun, a star, not a planet, in our solar system. Some planets have moons in their orbit.
Why do some planets take a long time to orbit around the sun?
Some planets take longer to orbit the sun because they are farther away giving them a longer path to travel.
Do The planets maintain circular orbits around the Sun?
The orbit of the planets in our Solar system are not perfectly circular, but eliptical. Each planet also has its own unique orbit, no two planets share an identical orbit. Because of the elliptical (oval) orbit of planets some get close to each other or cross the path of another planet's orbit.
Do the stars orbit the planets or do planets orbit stars?
Moons orbit planets. Planets orbit stars. Some stars orbit other stars, or orbit their mutual center of gravity. Stars orbit the center of the galaxy. Galaxies may orbit the center of the "galactic group".
Could a star orbit a planet larger then itself?
well for starters, stars don't orbit planets. Planets orbit stars, but some stars don't have planets that orbit them.
What are some properties that the moon and earth share?
both are planets and are orbit with centripetal force. think about the atmospheres. They orbit around one another.

What orbit the planets?
The orbit of each planet it the path it takes as it rotates round the Sun under the influence of the force of gravity. Every planet has a separate orbit and the orbits all follow Kepler's three laws of planetary motion.
Do planets orbit the sun in a circular direction?
No. Planets orbit the Sun (or some other star) in ellipses.
Which planet has meteorites orbit around it?
I'm pretty sure there isn't one. Some moons of planets seem to be "captured" asteroids. Several planets fit that description.
Do artificial satellites orbit the earth?
Yes, but there are also some that orbit other planets.

Yes, but there are also some that orbit other planets.
