What planet lies before Neptune?
In the traditional diagram of the Solar System Uranus is before Neptune. In reality, the planets are not in a line but at different points around the Sun as they orbit it, so it is the path of Uranus's orbit that lies before Neptune.
Are circles orbits of the planets?
NO!!! The planets do NOT orbit in circles. They orbit the Sun in an ellipsoidal manner. An ellipse has two foci. The Sun lies at one of the foci, the other might be deemed to be a 'blind' focus. The Sun does NOT lie at the centre of the ellipse. Also the satellites(moons) orbit their parent planets in a similar manner. It has also been discovered that the planets in an an ellipsoidal manner. That is as each orbit is completed the planet 'over-shoot' their starting point, and the ellipse does not close . See Johannes Kepler, who gave us the Law of orbiting planets sweeping equal arcs in equal times , in 1602 AD.
What lies between the planets?
space...who are you people?
The outer Planets lie beyond what?
The asteroid belt, which lies beyond the "inner planets".
What lies in between mars and Jupiter?
Mars and Jupiter have 343 million mi (552 million km) of space between them, so there are lots of things in between the two planets. However, the main thing between Mars and Jupiter is the asteroid belt.
What are inner and outer planets What is the difference?
In our solar system; Inner planets are planets that have an orbit which lies within the asteroid belt. Outer planets are planets which have an orbit which lies outside the orbit of the asteroid belt. The asteroid belt lies between Mars and Jupiter. Therefore the inner planets would be in order away form the sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. The outer planets in the same order are; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
Venus lies between Earth and Sun so how can you see it in the sky at midnight when the Sun is on the opposite side of Earth from the observer?
The orbit of Venus is closer to the sun than the earths. This does not mean it is always between the earth and the sun. It can be offset from the sun which is why it appears as a morning or evening 'star', depending where in their relative orbits the two planets lie.
Earths orbit around the sun is called?
The orbit of the Earth around the Sun.It's an ellipse. Perhaps that's the answer. Or perhaps a revolution.It takes a year.It lies in the ecliptic.
What planet lies before Neptune?
In the traditional diagram of the Solar System Uranus is before Neptune. In reality, the planets are not in a line but at different points around the Sun as they orbit it, so it is the path of Uranus's orbit that lies before Neptune.
What is the planetary orbit around the sun?
The planetary orbit around the sun is the path which planets follow.This path is elliptical in shape and the Sun lies at one of the focal points of the ellipse.
Are circles orbits of the planets?

What are small planetlike fragments that lies between the inner planets and outer planets?
You may be referring to asteroids, which are small rocky or icy bodies which orbit the Sun. There are many thousands of asteroids, most of which orbit between Mars and Jupiter. Most of the asteroids are too small to see, but a few of the larger ones are visible without a telescope.
What planet lies in its orbit plane?
All planets lie in the plane of their orbit, but most spin on an that is nearly (many have tilted axes of spin) perpendicular to that plane. The one exception is the planet Uranus which has its axis of spin lying very close to its orbital plane.
What lies between the planets?
space...who are you people?
What lies directly beneath the earths surface?
crust
Space in which the eye ball lies?
It is known as the Orbit
The outer Planets lie beyond what?
The asteroid belt, which lies beyond the "inner planets".
