This is an orbit.

What is unique about Plutos orbit around the sun?
All of the 8 planets that orbit the Sun are in the same general plane. That is that they are all flat. Pluto's orbit is not flat like the rest of the planets. It is like it got caught while passing by. Some think that it is a burned out comet. It is a dwarf planet, no longer considered to be a real planet.
How long does Sirius take to orbit the sun?
Sirius does not orbit the Sun.
How long is a year on Sirius?
Sirius is a star, so it doesn't have an orbit like the planets do. Thus, you can't calculate a year for Sirius. All you can do is estimate its age in Earth years.
Is the star Sirius larger than earths orbit around the sun?
No. Sirius is a binary star system. The main body, Sirius A is a white star about 1.7 times the diameter of the sun and would easily fit inside the orbit of Mercury. The secondary body, Sirius B is a white dwarf that is slightly smaller than Earth, though possessing about the same mass as the sun.
Will sirius satellite radio work in nigeria?

Is sirius a star or planet?
The star Sirius is not a planet or even a single star but is in fact a binary star, or two stars that orbit each other. Together, these two stars are often called The Dog Star, as they are the brightest object in the constellation Canis Major - or The Big Dog. The stars, named Sirius A and Sirius B, orbit each other about 20 Astronomical Units (the distance from the Sun to the planet Uranus) that takes about 50 years to complete on orbit. Right now, they appear to be moving away from each other and will reach their maximum separation on the year 2019. At a distance of roughly 8.6 light years, the Sirius binary star system is actually relatively close to us. Sirius A (the larger of the two binary stars) is also extraordinarily bright, about 25 time brighter than our sun. These two factors make Sirius one of the top ten brightest stars in our night sky. While Sirius A is very large and bright, Sirius B (the smaller of the two binary stars) is significantly smaller than it's companion - about the size of our Earth. But even at it's small size, Sirius B still has nearly the same mass as our Sun. That much mass in such a tiny space means more surface gravity (about twice that of Sirius A) and more heat (about 2.5 times that of Sirius A). Just because it's small, doesn't mean it's not awesome. Sirius is considered a wintertime star, usually only seen between the months of December and March. It is part of the Winter Triangle asterism along with Betelgeuse and Procyon. So if you're in the Northern Hemisphere and the weather begins to turn cold, take a look into the southern night sky and find Sirius, The Dog Star!

Is 'Sirius C' real or not?
It is not real. Sirius is a two-star system containing only Sirius A and Sirius B.
How far apart are Sirius A and Sirius B?
Sirius is a binary star system Sirius A and Sirius B.The distance separating Sirius A from B varies between 8.1 and 31.5 AU. (See related question).
Is Sirius closer to the Sun or Pluto?
that depends on where pluto is in its orbit (think of sirius as the hub of your front bike wheel, the sun as the hub of the back wheel and pluto as the valve for the back wheel inner tube) with the vast distance from the sun to sirius (8.6 light years) the percentage of how much closer it is to pluto or the sun will be tiny, but its still a measurable difference. (pluto is only about 4 light HOURS from the sun)
Is Sirius a giant?
No. Sirius consists of two stars. Sirius A is larger than the sun but is not a giant. Sirius B is a white dwarf,
Is Sirius a a white dwarf?
