What else can I help you with?
Planets without solar systems are called?
Planets not orbiting a star but instead orbiting the galactic center are referred to as rogue planets, or nomadic or interstellar planets.
Is our sun the only star that has planets orbiting around it?
No. Other stars have been found to have planets orbiting them.
What constitutes your solar system?
Anything with a star that has planets orbiting around it.
Does Saturn have star that orbits it?
Planets cannot have stars orbiting them by definition.
Are there planets orbiting suppernovas?
No. A supernova is star that is exploding. If any planets are orbiting a star that explodes, they will be destroyed. There is evidence that after a supernova new planets may form from the debris cloud left behind and orbit the stellar remnant, which will be either a neutron star or a black hole depending on the mass of the star that exploded..
What other star has planets orbiting around them?
We believe that most stars have planets. The first star PROVABLY detected to have a planet was Gamma Cephei.
What causes planets to orbit a star?
By the very act of orbiting it. The effect may be incredibly small, but it is real. Any two bodies in an orbital relationship are really orbiting their mutual center of gravity, called their barycenter. This is true even if there are several planets orbiting a star.
Planets orbit a star?
Yes, planets orbit a star due to the gravitational pull of the star. This gravitational force keeps the planets in motion around the star in a regular pattern. The orbiting motion of planets around a star is essential for maintaining the stability and balance of a planetary system.
A system of planets or other bodies orbiting another star?
yes yes yes
Why are the planets considered satellites?
Planets are not considered satellites, but rather celestial bodies that orbit around stars, like our Sun. Satellites are objects that orbit larger celestial bodies, such as planets orbiting around stars or moons orbiting around planets.
Where are the planets found?
Orbiting stars. We know of eight planets orbiting our Sun, and we know of over 300 planets orbiting other stars.
Why do stars wobble?
Stars wobble due to the gravitational influence of the planets orbiting them. As planets orbit their stars, their gravitational pull causes the stars to move slightly in response. Scientists can detect this wobble in a star's position, which provides information about the planets orbiting it.
