What do you call a path a planet follows as it travels around the sun?
U answer
What does a planet orbit?
A planet orbits a star.
How do the orbit of planets differ from the orbit of moons?
A planet orbits a star. A moon orbits a planet or dwarf planet.
When planets orbit a star?
When don't they? If a planet is in orbit around a star, it is in continual orbit. Orbital periods (the lengths of time it takes different planets to complete one orbit) are different from planet to planet, and are related to the distances between the planets and their stars.
How can you tell something is a planet and not a moon?
A planet is in direct orbit around a central star, while a moon is in orbit around a large body (a planet) rather than in a direct orbit around a star. The moon orbits the planet, while the planet orbits the sun.
What do you call the time it takes for a planet to orbit a star?
revolution

Does Venus orbit a planet?
No, Venus does not orbit a planet. It orbits a star, which is our Sun. It can not orbit a planet , if it did it would be a moon
What does a planet orbit?
A planet orbits a star.
What do they call when an object that orbits a Star is rounded by it own gravity and has cleared the area of its orbit?
A planet
What do planets revolve around?
Planets orbit stars. Our planet (earth) orbits a star we call the sun.
How do the orbit of planets differ from the orbit of moons?
A planet orbits a star. A moon orbits a planet or dwarf planet.
What is a system in which moons orbit a star?
Moons don't orbit stars; they orbit planets. If it's a moon, then it orbits a planet. If it orbits a star, then it isn't a moon, it's a planet.

Does the star orbit the sun and the planet doesnt?
The sun is a star. And planets within its gravitational reach orbit it.
