What is a loose icy body with long narrow orbit?
The planet furthest from the sun
Can a moon orbit the sun?
No. If an object orbits the sun it is not considered a moon. Depending on its size, composition, and location it may be considered a planet, dwarf planet, asteroid, or comet.
Why does Halley's comet travel though our solar system regularly?
It's in a gravitational orbit with the sun. Just like every other planet, moon, comet, asteroid, and meteoroid in the solar system.
Is it true that Pluto is the only body in the solar systemwith an elliptical orbit?
No. The truth is the exact opposite. Every object in a closed orbit around the sun ...every planet, asteroid, periodic comet, etc. ... has an elliptical orbit.
What is a body that moves around a larger body in an orbit?
That sketchy description could be applied to a planet, a satellite, a moon, an asteroid, a comet, a meteoroid, or even an electron.
What do you call to the point where the earth is fastest from the sun?
Aphelion is the point in the orbit of a planet, asteroid, or comet at which it is furthest from the sun.
What is a loose icy body with long narrow orbit?
The planet furthest from the sun
What is the name for body of orbit around the sun?
Planet, planetoid, moon, asteroid, meteor, comet
What does orbit around the sun mean?
It means a path travelled by a planet, asteroid, meteor or a comet which goes around the sun once.
Can a moon orbit the sun?
No. If an object orbits the sun it is not considered a moon. Depending on its size, composition, and location it may be considered a planet, dwarf planet, asteroid, or comet.

Does Pluto's orbit overlaps the orbit of the asteroid Ceres?
Pluto's orbit DOES NOT overlap the orbit of the asteroid Ceres. But it does overlap the orbit of the planet neptune
Why do some asteroids leave there orbit?
They could be knocked out of orbit by being hit from a comet, or a 'rogue' asteroid that's not part of the asteroid belt.
Is it true that Pluto is the only body in the solar systemwith an elliptical orbit?

What is a body that moves around a larger body in an orbit?
That sketchy description could be applied to a planet, a satellite, a moon, an asteroid, a comet, a meteoroid, or even an electron.
What it a solar system?
Usually a collection of bodies that orbit around a star. Our solar system consists of a rocky planet belt, an asteroid belt, a gas giant belt, a comet belt, and then a comet cloud, all of which fall under the influence of our star's gravity and orbit periodically.
What point in a planet's orbit is closest to the sun?
The perihelion is the closest point to the Sun in the orbit of a planet.It is different for each planet based on the elliptical variation, but will always occur at the same point in each orbit.
