When a celestial body moves in an orbit around another celestial body?
Its means that if there is a planet, for example: Earth, The Earth is surrounded by the moon....so its actually means that a planet is surrounded by something else/A Planet
How does a satellite orbit a planet?
Ever seen water go down a plughole in your bath? When a satellite or moon gets caught in a planets gravitational field it vortexes in the same way. Only it moves toward the planet very slowly. Hope I Helped
Is revolve and revolution the same thing?
No, but the two are related. An orbit is the path taken by a planet around a star (or by a satellite around a planet). A revolution is the amount of time it takes said planet or satellite to complete that orbit once. Think of revolution as time, and orbit as place.
What are the characteristics of minor planet?
The term minor planet is still used, but after reclassification in 2006 these are now generally referred to as dwarf planets. Dwarf planets orbit the sun, but are not satellites, that is to say that they do not orbit another planet, since then they would be classified as moons. They are big enough to hold an ellipsoid shape under their own gravity (like a squashed sphere), but have not cleared their orbit of other objects. That is to say that at the same distace out, there is a significant amount of other matter that is not part of the dwarf planet.
Can a planet orbit a black hole and why?
Yes, a planet could orbit a black hole, just like it could orbit a star. Gravity would bind them together. A planet orbiting 93 million miles from the sun feels exactly the same as if it were orbiting 93 million miles away from a black hole with the same mass as the sun has.
Which planet has an orbit that is not in the same plane as all the other planets?
There isn't one. They all orbit in roughly the same plane. Pluto orbits in a different plane, but that's not classed as a planet now, of course.
What is Keplers second law?
Kepler's second law states that as a planet orbits its star, it sweeps out equal areas in equal times.
How is the orbit of a planet different from the orbit of a planet?
A planet typically has a more regular orbit, staying closer to the same distance from the sun. A comet's orbit will be more elliptical, going very far away and then coming really close.

What three planets orbit the sun in a different way than all the other planets?
In fact, Venus, Uranus, and the "dwarf planet" Pluto orbit the Sun in the same direction as all the other planets. So all the planets orbit in the same way.However they rotate in the opposite direction to the other planets.
What planet orbits the other way then earth?
All the planets in the solar system orbit in the same direction, counter-clockwise.
In Space does everyone weigh the same?
Weight is caused by being pulled down by a planet, therefore it changes from planet to planet. When in space we orbit a planet and the acceleration of the orbit counter-acts the weight - resulting in weightlessness.
If a planet had two moons and one moon was twice as far from the planet as the other which moon would complete an orbit of the planet first?
That would depend on the speed they are travelling. If they were both going at the same speed then the one nearer would complete its orbit first, as it has a shorter distance to travel.

What planet has 3 satellites sharing the same orbit?
saturn has have 3 satelites
All of the planet in your solar system do what the same?
Orbit the sun and rotate on their axis.
