galice
What is a large body of rock or gas that orbits a star?
A large body of rock or gas that orbits a star is called a planet. Planets are celestial objects that revolve around a star like our Sun due to the force of gravity. These celestial bodies can vary in size and composition.
A planet is a body which?
Orbits a star and has enough mass to have cleared its orbit of debris.
What is a body that orbits a larger body called?
A body that orbits a larger body is called a satellite. This could refer to natural satellites, like moons orbiting planets, or artificial satellites, which are man-made objects placed in orbit around Earth or other celestial bodies.
Why isn't Pluto a star?
A star is a celestial body of hot gases that radiates energy from thermonuclear reactions in its interior.

The star Pluto orbits in the Solar System is our Sun.
What do we call an object which orbits a star?

What is the difference between a planetary object and a moon?
A planetary object is a body that orbits a star (like a planet or a dwarf planet), whereas a moon is a natural satellite that orbits a planetary object. Moons are smaller bodies that orbit planets or dwarf planets.
What is the pathway of a celestial body around a star?
That is called an "orbit". Such orbits basically have the shape of an ellipse.
What is the star called that the earth orbits?
we know that the star that earth orbits is the sun the sun is the biggest star ever
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.
