What planet is by far the least massive of all the planets that revolve around the sun?
I Say Mercury.
Does an artificial satellite rotate in its own axis or does it just revolve around the planet?
An artificial satellite can rotate on its own axis in a motion known as spin stabilization. This rotation helps to control its orientation in space. In addition to rotating on its own axis, the satellite also orbits, or revolves, around the planet it is orbiting.
Does orbit or revolve mean to circle around or go around?
The verb, for "to move in an orbit", is also "orbit". For example: "The Earth orbits the Sun."The verb, for "to move in an orbit", is also "orbit".

Do the satellites of Uranus revolve around the planet in planes almost perpendicular to its orbit?
Yes. The planet Uranus is "tilted" in its axis of rotation, with its North Pole facing almost directly toward the sun. Many of its moons would be visible throughout most of their orbits, since they are seen looking "down" from "above them". If the planet were not so cold (sometimes within 60° C of absolute zero), the effect of the Sun heating ONLY the northern hemisphere of the planet would create unique weather patterns, to say the least.
How can you say that the earth is a planet?
A planet - is defined as an object that has its own gravity, and is in orbit around a sun.
When a planet is spinning around the sun what do you call this planet?
A planet. The fact that a planet spins around the sun is a given condition when you say that it is a planet. A similar example of question would be, "When a man combs his hair, what gender is he?" His being male is already apparent.
What objects in space do not revolve around the sun?
Anything that isn't affected by the Sun's gravity will not revolve it. Almost anything outside of our solar system will not be affected by the Sun's gravity. But that's not to say that they aren't being affected by another star's gravity.
When you say a satellite is orbiting a planet you mean?
It means that it moves around the planet, along a path (orbit) that has the shape of an ellipse.
When you say a satellite is orbiting a planet you mean what?
It means that it moves around the planet, along a path (orbit) that has the shape of an ellipse.
What does it mean to say that the planets revolve in an elliptical orbit with the sun at one focus?
It means that the path followed by a planet around the sun is not a perfect circle, but rather an oval shape called an ellipse. The sun is located at one of the two foci of this ellipse, and the planet moves closer to and farther from the sun during different points in its orbit.
Who discover the earth revolve around the sun?
Galileo. He did a lot, but it was a combination of several people who all contributed. In particular I would say Kepler and Isaac newton were important.
Is it correct to say in the planet or on the planet?
It is correct to say "on the planet." This is because we live on the surface of the planet, not inside of it.
