What else can I help you with?
Is a planet a moon?
No. A moon orbits around a planet. A planet orbits around the sun.
Orbit so eccentric that it crosses the orbit of another planet?
A planet with an eccentric orbit that crosses the orbit of another planet would create gravitational interactions and potential collisions between the two planets. This scenario could lead to disturbances in their orbits, potentially causing erratic behavior and possible impacts between the planets.
What makes a planet a planet?
A planet is made a planet if it is circular or close to circular in shape, orbits the sun, and, if one planet crosses the path of another planet's orbit, the smaller of the two is no longer a planet. ghost busters
What moves in a circle around a planet or star?
A planet orbits a sun, a moon orbits a planet
Does mars have an another planet orbiting it?
No. For one thing, a planet-like object that orbits a planet is a moon, not a planet. Mars does have two moons but they are captured asteroids, and would not be considered planets if the had their own orbits around the sun.
Does Ceres revolve around another planet?
No. If Ceres orbited a planet it would be a moon. It orbits the sun, so it is classified as a dwarf planet.
Does the moon orbit around a planet?
No, it orbits you. Of course! The moon orbits EARTH, our planet.
What crosses Neptune's path and orbits closer to the Sun for 20 of its 248-year orbit?
Pluto (dwarf planet).
What do you call a satellite of a star which orbits around it spinning on its own axis?
Earth. Or in another word, a planet.
Why is Ceres not called a moon?
Ceres is not called a moon because it orbits the sun directly, rather than another planet. Moons typically orbit around a planet, while dwarf planets like Ceres have their own independent orbits around the sun.
What planet is the moon orbiting around?
The moon orbits around the planet Earth.
Titan is a moon that orbits around-?
Titan is a moon the orbits around Saturn. This is a planet.
