What else can I help you with?
What is different about the sun and moon?
the moon is a small rocky planetoid that orbits the earth the sun is a huge sphere of plasma that has a core of fuseing hydrogen basicly a great ball of fire!!!!!!!!!
What is the name of the small body of the moon that orbits a planet?
The small body of the moon that orbits a planet is called a satellite.
What small planet like that body orbits earth?
MOON
Why earth is flat although it is sphere?
it seems flat however its at such a small angle that it shapes ito a sphere
What is called a small body which orbits a larger body?
satellite
What is a small rocky object that orbits the sun called?
a planet
What name do you give to the geometric plane where the 8 planets orbit the Sun?
The planets don't all orbit the Sun in EXACTLY the same plane - there are small variations. The plane where Earth orbits is called the Ecliptic; other planets orbit fairly close to that same plane.
How many planes face in sphere?
A sphere has no plane surface. But if we consider a infinitesimal small surface of sphere then we have a plane surface and this way we have infinite planes on the sphere. Let us take the example of earth: earth is a large sphere and to human beings, so small as compared to earth, earth looks like a plane surface which is actually not reality. The same case is with the circle, circle is a closed figure which has no sides but in other way it can be considered as a polygon of infinite sides.
Why does the total solar eclipse help show that the earth is not a sphere?
It doesn't show that, because a) a total solar eclipse tells you nothing about the Earth and b) the Earth IS a sphere, to within a fairly small tolerance.
What is difference between great circle and small circle?
A great circle is a circle on the surface of a sphere that has the same center as the sphere, while a small circle does not share the same center as the sphere. Great circles have the largest circumference of all circles on a sphere, whereas small circles have smaller circumferences. The equator is an example of a great circle on Earth, while lines of latitude other than the equator are examples of small circles.
Why do photos from space show the earth as a perfect sphere?
Earth is not a perfect sphere; it is slightly wider across the equator than it is from pole to pole, but that difference is less than a percent of Earth's average diameter, too small for the human eye to notice.
Does a small planet that orbits earth describe the moon?
No. This description does not quite work becomes the moon is not a planet; it is a moon.
