What is the main difference between the orbits of the inner and outer planets?
The planets revolve in elliptical orbits. The inner planets have orbits 230 million km or less from the Sun. The outer planets have orbits 775 million km or greater.
What are the planets orbits?
The planets orbits are the routes or paths that the planets follow around our sun. One orbit is one trip around the sun (one year).
Why do different planets have different length orbits?
Different planets have different orbit lengths because of their distance from the sun. Planets closer to the sun have shorter orbits, and planets farther away have longer orbits.
The sun holds earth and orbits because of?
gravity. the mass of the sun is so large that it is able to pull in all the planets and what not
Does a planets mass affect how far away from the sun it orbits?
No it does not have any effect on the planet. For Example: Pluto is very far away from the sun. It doesn't have that much mass.
Where does the gravity that holds the planets in their orbits come from?
The gravity that keeps the planets in orbit is the sun's gravity, which is a product of the sun's mass.
Planets detected via Doppler Technique have been mostly?
Jupiter-mass, in very close orbits.

The planets orbits are the routes or paths that the planets follow around our sun. One orbit is one trip around the sun (one year).
Which two planets overlap?
The two planets with overlapping orbits are Neptune and Pluto. These are the only two planets that have overlapping orbits.
Why do different planets have different length orbits?
Different planets have different orbit lengths because of their distance from the sun. Planets closer to the sun have shorter orbits, and planets farther away have longer orbits.
How does the sun control the orbits of our planet?
Its mass and its resultant gravitational pull are the prime influences the sun exerts on the planets. The sun controls the orbits of the planets by the very fact of its existence. If the sun did not exist, if it were not as massive as it is, if it weren't there to exert its strong gravitational pull, the planets would simply fly out into space and find the next, closest large mass with which to associate.
What force is responible for the orbits of the planets in the solar system?
Gravity from the Sun holds the planets in their orbits.
The sun holds earth and orbits because of?
gravity. the mass of the sun is so large that it is able to pull in all the planets and what not
What are the four planets that have orbits from most to least?
All the planets have orbits so four cannot be picked out.
What is the orbit of the sun due to gravity?
The planets' gravity on the Sun is insignificant, compared to the Sun's mass; so, within the Solar System, it is (basically) the planets that orbit around the Sun.On the other hand, the Sun - together with all the planets - orbits around the center of the Milky Way (our galaxy).The planets' gravity on the Sun is insignificant, compared to the Sun's mass; so, within the Solar System, it is (basically) the planets that orbit around the Sun.On the other hand, the Sun - together with all the planets - orbits around the center of the Milky Way (our galaxy).The planets' gravity on the Sun is insignificant, compared to the Sun's mass; so, within the Solar System, it is (basically) the planets that orbit around the Sun.On the other hand, the Sun - together with all the planets - orbits around the center of the Milky Way (our galaxy).The planets' gravity on the Sun is insignificant, compared to the Sun's mass; so, within the Solar System, it is (basically) the planets that orbit around the Sun.On the other hand, the Sun - together with all the planets - orbits around the center of the Milky Way (our galaxy).
What of the planets are ellipses?
