Concerning the planetary orbits why was Copernicus somewhat inaccurate?
He suggested the orbits were circles.
In what type of orbits do planets move around the sun?
Planets move around the sun in elliptical orbits. These orbits are elongated and follow Kepler's laws of planetary motion, which describe the shape and dynamics of the planetary orbits.
What is the difference between a planetary object and a moon?
A planetary object is a body that orbits a star (like a planet or a dwarf planet), whereas a moon is a natural satellite that orbits a planetary object. Moons are smaller bodies that orbit planets or dwarf planets.
