How many planets is the moon from the sun?
The moon orbits the Earth. Venus and Mercury are the planets that are closer to the Sun than the Earth is.
Does the sun orbit the planets?
No. The planets orbit the Sun and the Sun orbits itself.
What evidence do you have that the planets move in elliptical orbits around the sun and not in circular orbits?
Elliptical orbits of the planets around the sun actually match what we observe. Newton's Theory of Universal Gravitation states that planets will move around the sun in elliptical orbits.
What do all planets in the solar system revolve around?
The Sun. There are 8 bodies classified as planets, and as of 2009 there are 5 classed as dwarf planets. There are many more objects with long orbits past that of Pluto, and these are being studied and classified.
Which object's gravity holds the planets in their orbits?
The sun's gravity holds the planets in their orbits. It also holds other space objects in their orbits, such as asteroids.
What is a spherical body thet orbits the sun?
A spherical body that orbits the Sun is known as a planet. Planets are large celestial objects that have cleared their orbits of other debris and are held in place by the Sun's gravitational pull. Examples include Earth, Mars, and Jupiter. Additionally, there are dwarf planets, like Pluto, which also have a spherical shape but do not meet all criteria to be classified as full-fledged planets.
What force is responible for the orbits of the planets in the solar system?
Gravity from the Sun holds the planets in their orbits.
What orbits the sun and moon?
the planets
What is a satellite that orbits the sun?
PLANETS
Why do different planets have different length orbits?
Different planets have different length orbits because they are at varying distances from the sun. The farther a planet is from the sun, the longer it takes to complete an orbit. This is due to the gravitational pull of the sun, which affects the speed at which planets travel around it.
What is a natural satellite that orbits the Sun?
PLANETS
What from the Sun keeps the planets in their orbits?
Gravity
