What is it called when two planets switch orbit?
planets dont "switch" orbit, but there are those that orbit each other, and those, like mars, that have retrograde motion, which makes it appear to orbit backwards
Do stars orbit planets or planets orbit stars?
Planets orbit stars.
What causes all of the planets to rotate around the sun in the same order?
Each planet has an orbit line that makes the planets stay in that spot, unless the orbit is changed
Is it true that- gravity holds planets in orbit because planets are attracted to each other's gravitational force?
It's true that gravity holds planets in orbit. However, this is due to the gravitational influence of the sun, not the gravitational influence of other planets.
Planets orbit around the sun but what do moons orbit?
Planets
Do The planets maintain circular orbits around the Sun?
The orbit of the planets in our Solar system are not perfectly circular, but eliptical. Each planet also has its own unique orbit, no two planets share an identical orbit. Because of the elliptical (oval) orbit of planets some get close to each other or cross the path of another planet's orbit.
Does each of the eight planets in our solar system have its own orbit?
Yes, each of the 8 major planets has its own orbit, with no asteroids or other objects in its path.
What is each planets path around the sun?
orbit
Do any planets collide in orbit?
No they each have its own orbit around the sun and they do not collide
What is it called when two planets switch orbit?
planets dont "switch" orbit, but there are those that orbit each other, and those, like mars, that have retrograde motion, which makes it appear to orbit backwards
How many steps did the eight planets take to finished around the orbit?
Planets do not take steps. Each planet has its own orbit and is is different.
Do stars orbit planets or planets orbit stars?
Planets orbit stars.
Do all the planets have smaller planets orbiting them?
No. Planets orbit suns, while moons orbit planets. Planets do not orbit planets.
What from the sun holds the planets in orbit?
The Sun AND its planets attract each other with gravitic force.
What would happen if planets did not move in a fixed orbit?
the planets would have dashed each other
What is shared by all the planets in the solar system?
The sun, each of the eight planets is in orbit around our sun.
Why are the orbit of the planets different?
So they don't run into each other.
