What is a primary in astronomy?
In astronomy, a primary refers to the larger or more massive body in a system, such as a star in a binary star system or a planet in a satellite system. It often dominates gravitational interactions within the system and can influence the orbits and movements of other objects around it.
Why isn't Pluto a star?
A star is a celestial body of hot gases that radiates energy from thermonuclear reactions in its interior. Pluto is classified as a dwarf planet, a planet being a large celestial body that orbits a star and does not radiate any large amounts of nuclear energy. The star Pluto orbits in the Solar System is our Sun.
What is the difference between a planetary object and a moon?
A planetary object is a body that orbits a star (like a planet or a dwarf planet), whereas a moon is a natural satellite that orbits a planetary object. Moons are smaller bodies that orbit planets or dwarf planets.
What is the pathway of a celestial body around a star?
That is called an "orbit". Such orbits basically have the shape of an ellipse.
