What is the sun's orbit?

Answer 1

If you are referring to the orbit of the Earth, it means approximately 365.256 days has passed. Other planets in our solar system obviously take different paths, or "Orbits, thusly taking a different number of Earth days to complete one "Orbit of the Sun. For example, the planet Mercury is closest to the sun, thereby it has a smaller "Orbit" and completes 1 orbit of the Sun in approximately 88 Earth days. On the other extreme, the planet Neptune takes approximately 164.8 Earth Years (60,189 Earth Days)

The approximation of 365.256 Earth days per year is used. I hope this helps answer the question.

Answer 2

Planets orbit around the sun.The 4 planets closer to the sun are:1.Mercury=1st small and rocky planet2.Venus=2nd small and rocky planet and sometimes a moon3.Earth=our home planet and 3rd small and rocky planet4.Mars=4th small and rocky planetThe 4 planets that are far away from the sun are:1.Jupiter=1st biggest planet and 1st not rocky and gaseous planet2.Saturn=2nd biggest planet and 2nd not rocky and gaseous planet3.Uranus=3rd not rocky and gaseous planet4.Neptune=4th not rocky and gaseous planetThe only 1 dwarf planet in the solar system is:1.Pluto=the only dwarf planet in the solar system

Answer 3

Hmmm... another interesting question.

When planets revolve around a star, the group is referred to as a "solar system".
The word "orbit"
as a noun can mean: The path a planet (our Earth) follows as it goes around a star (the Sun);
or as a verb can mean: the act of going around the the Sun.

The time period it takes for a complete orbit is called a "year", or "solar year". I hope we got close!

Answer 4

The Sun orbits the center of the Milky Way at a distance of approximately 24,000-26,000 light-years from the galactic center, completing one clockwise orbit, as viewed from the galactic north pole, in about 225-250 million years.

Answer 5

That's the Earth's "period of revolution". It is also called the "year".

It takes about 365.25 days. That doesn't exactly equal our "calendar year" which contains a whole number of days, for convenience.
1 year

Answer 6

A revolution is when the Earth or any planet spins around the Sun. It takes about 364 1/2 Earth days for 1 revolution or Earth year.

Answer 7

That might be a planet, an asteroid, a meteorite, or a piece of dust.

Answer 8

an orbit - in earths case a year.

Answer 9

A revolution or an orbit or Year

Answer 10

Rotation
