Do all planets orbit around their self?
All planets orbit around the greatest centre of mass. In our solar system, that is our Sun.
Does a solar system orbit a star in the center and the star?
The rest of the solar system orbits a star (the Sun) which stays at the centre. To be precise, the whole solar system revolves around its center of mass. The Sun has about 99.85% of the entire mass of the solar system. So, its not surprising that the center of mass of the solar system is close to the surface of the Sun and that the Sun more or less stays at the center.
What does Mass of suitcase on Jupiter mean?
I don't get the significance of the 'suitcase', but the mass of any object is constant, no matter where you take it.
What system is considered as the center of all organ system?
the heart is the centre of the organ system....... i think
Is the sun at the middle of our solar system?
Yes, our Sun is in the centre of our solar system.
What is a barycentre?
A barycentre is the point at the centre of a system - weighted according to mass or some other attribute - a term used in astronomy for the centre of mass about which a system rotates.
What is an apoapsis?
An apoapsis is the point of a body's elliptical orbit around the system's centre of mass where the distance between the body and the centre of mass is at its maximum.
Where is the sun found in relation to solar system?
The sun is the mass centre of the solar system.
What is an apocentre?
An apocentre is another name for an apoapsis, the point of a body's elliptical orbit around its system's centre of mass where the distance between the body and the centre of mass is at its maximum.
Where is the centre of mass?
The center (centre) of mass is, informally, the average position of the points of mass in an extended system. It is a weighted average which takes into account the amount of mass in each point, as well as the position. If you hang a solid object up from the center of mass, it won't have a tendency to rotate. The Wikipedia article on "center of mass" explains how to calculate it.
Why isn't the sun orbiting?
It is. Any pair of objects in space orbit their common centre of mass. It gets considerably more complicated with more bodies, but this is a decent general rule. If we consider the earth-sun sytem in isolation, ignoring any other forces, then the system as a whole orbits its centre of mass, which lies within the sun. If you consider the Jupiter-Sun system, that centre of mass lies on the edge of the sun.
Why is the sun the biggest body in the solar system?
Because it was the centre of coalescence/mass round which the solar nebular condensed.
What is the importance of libraries and information centre?
what is the significance of libraries?
Is the center of mass of solid bodies lie out side if yes give an example?
The centre of mass of any solid single oject cannot lie outside its absolute outline, because there is no mass to balance out that contained within it. The centre of a multiple body system can be outside all bodies, such as a binary star or planetary system (e.g. Pluto and Charon).
What is difference between center of mass and center of gravity?
centre of mass is nothing the mass (volume) situated at centre which is not at all use full for pt of control. but centre of gravity is that pt at which we can hold the total mass or body .
How does gravity affect the mass of dropping stuff?
Gravity accelerates the centres of the two masses towards their joint centre of mass. Obviously, if there is a huge difference between the two objects, such as a ball and the earth, the centre of mass of the combined system will be indistinguishably close to the centre of the earth and so it will accelerate the ball towards the centre of the earth. Also, while it will accelerate the earth towards the ball, the force will be too small to measure.
When there is no external force acts on a system of particles the velocity of the centre of mass is?
Velocity remains constant if no external force acts.
