revolution


What are the movements of the planets around the sun called?

"Orbit", as in " the Earth orbits the Sun". Another answer is "revolution".


Movement of one object around another?

This is known as orbital motion or revolution, where one object moves around another in a regular path due to gravitational attraction. Examples include planets orbiting the sun and moons orbiting planets in our solar system. The motion is governed by the balance between the object's inertia and the gravitational pull from the larger object it is orbiting.


The movement of planets around the sun?

Planets move around the sun in elliptical orbits due to gravity. The gravitational force between the sun and the planets keeps them in their respective paths. The speed of each planet in its orbit varies based on its distance from the sun according to Kepler's laws of planetary motion.


What are the two kinds of movements made by planets?

Planets generally move in 2 ways:Revolution - they spin around their own center (this is what makes the Earth have a day.)Orbit - they spin around a star (Earth spins around a star called our Sun.) This in part causes our yearly seasons.


What is it called the path the moon follows around the earth?

The path that the moon follows around the Earth is called an orbit. The planets going around the sun is called revolution. The moon goes around the Earth in a month.


What is a natural body that revolves around a planet called?

A natural body that revolves around a planet is called a moon. Moons are celestial objects that orbit planets as a result of gravitational attraction. They vary in size and composition, and can have significant effects on their host planet.


What is it called When a planet's orbit takes it closer to the sun?

revolution


The slower moving superior-planets appear to reverse their direction of travel when what?

This is called the Retrograde


What are the paths that planets follow around the Sun?

The same direction that the Earth rotates around its axis. If you look downward at the solar system from the direction of the north star, the Earth's rotation AND its revolution around the sun would both be counter-clockwise. All the other planets revolve on their axis in the same direction, except for Venus and Uranus.


How the planets revolves the sun?

The planets revolve around the sun in elliptical orbits due to the force of gravity. This motion is a result of the initial velocity and gravitational pull from the sun. The time it takes for a planet to complete one revolution around the sun is called its orbital period.


What planet spins in the opposite direction of the other planets in a solar system it is called .?

This is called retrograde rotation. Within our solar system, the planets of Venus and Uranus have retrograde rotation.
