What else can I help you with?
What is a moon and how does it move around the solar system?
Moons are approximately spherical objects which orbit planets and are smaller than the planets that they orbit, although they are still relatively large objects (so an orbiting dust particle does not qualify as a moon). Since moons orbit planets, their motion around the solar system is controlled by the planets that they orbit; planets orbit the sun, and planets take their moons with them.
How do meteorites differ from asteroids?
Asteroids are objects smaller then planets that orbit the Sun. Meteorites are (usually) smaller objects that enter the atmosphere and reach the ground.
What are rocky metalic objects that orbit the sun?
Planets or dwarf planets, depending on their size. (The larger ones would be planets, smaller would be dwarf planets.)
The largest objects that orbit the sun are called?
The largest objects that orbit the sun are planets.
Do all the planets have smaller planets orbiting them?
No. Planets orbit suns, while moons orbit planets. Planets do not orbit planets.
How do all planets orbit the sun?
Through gravitational pull. The largest object will have smaller objects orbit it (objects close in size will orbit each other, but no planet is close to the size of the sun)
Is a moon a satellite that orbits a planet?
Generally, although objects that orbit dwarf planets and smaller objects such as asteroids can also be called moons.
What are objects that orbit planets?
satellites
What the asteroids are larger or smaller than planets?
Planets are generally larger than asteroids. Asteroids are small rocky bodies that orbit the Sun, while planets are larger celestial objects that have cleared their orbit of other debris. Some asteroids can be quite large, but they are still dwarfed by the size of planets.
What are the tiny planets?
Objects that are smaller than planets are called "dwarf planets"; even smaller objects are called "asteroids".
What are solid objects that orbit the planets?
Solid objects that can orbit planets are called moons. Moons are natural satellites that orbit around planets in a similar way that planets orbit around stars. Moons can range in size from small rocky bodies to larger worlds with their own atmospheres.
Why are moons and planets different?
Planets are bodies that orbit a central star (in our case, the Sun), and moons are smaller bodies that orbit planets.
