What else can I help you with?
What planet orbits the longest?
The dwarf planet Sedna is believed to have an orbital period of about 11,400 years. It orbits at a distance between 76 and 937 astronomical units.
What is distance to planet Venus from earth?
Unfortunately there is no simple answer to that. The distance is constantly changing as the planets move in their orbits.
What would happen if a planet orbits 400 miles from its star?
At that distance, there would be no planet - just vaporised gasses.
What does the size of the orbit of a planet depend on?
The size of a planet's orbit depends on its distance from the star it is orbiting. Planets farther away from the star have larger orbits, while planets closer to the star have smaller orbits. The gravitational pull between the planet and the star also influences the size of the orbit.
Why does mars orbits faster than than the other planet?
This is false. Mercury is the "fastest" planet, with Venus and Earth next. IN fact, the orbital speed of any planet is inversely related to the distance from the Sun; close-in planets orbit faster than farther-out planets.
Is moon near any planets in the space?
Yes. The moon is close to the planet it orbits: Earth.
Why is a moon not a planet?
A planet orbits a star such as the sun. A moon orbits a planet.
Which two planets have orbits that cross in distance in terms of the distance from the sun?
Neptune and the dwarf planet Pluto.Pluto is not classed as a "proper" planet now (since2006).That spoils this question now.
Do comets travel in orbits with a shape similar to the planets?
No. The planets in the Solar System all have almost circular orbits, but the orbits of comets are highly eccentric (oval-shaped). This means that while the distance a planet is from the Sun is rather constant, the path of a comet means it comes close to the Sun, and then moves far away.
This is the nearest planet to the sun?
The nearest planet to the sun is Mercury. It orbits the sun at an average distance of about 36 million miles.
Are the distant between each planet and the sun constant?
No, the distance between each planet and the sun is not constant. The planets follow elliptical orbits, meaning their distance from the sun varies as they move along their paths. This variation in distance is due to gravitational forces and orbital mechanics.
Is a planet a moon?
No. A moon orbits around a planet. A planet orbits around the sun.
