What do most planets have?
Most planets have a solid surface, an atmosphere, and orbit a star. They also vary in size, composition, and distance from their star.
What are the ring circling one of planets made of?
small asteroids.
How could you describe the Solar System?
Many planets, mini-planets, asteroids, comets, and meteoroids circling around the sun.
Are you moving around the sun or it is the sun that moves around the planets?
The planets are considered moving around the sun, even though the sun moves too (in tiny circles opposite the planets' motions). The planets are circling the sun. The sun (dragging the planets along with it) is circling our galaxy's center. Our galaxy (dragging the sun, the planets, and all the other stars) is moving through the universe as well.
What other star has planets orbiting around them?
We believe that most stars have planets. The first star PROVABLY detected to have a planet was Gamma Cephei.
What are three stars that have been found to have extrasolar planets?

What planets are most massive than earth?
In our solar system, the planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are more massive. There are over 300 extra-solar planets known to be circling other stars; in most cases, only very massive planets can be detected at such ranges. It is likely that other smaller planets also exist, but we have no indication of that so far.

What is in between the planets Jupiter and Mars?

How do scientists know that there are planets circling other stars?
They have been located and identified as such by astronomical techniques.
Is a star another planet?
sometimes other planets can look like stars, but a star in itself is just a star. No. Stars are things like our Sun. While you may occasionally see some very close planets in the sky, most of the lights you see will not be planets.
What is the difference between orbits and rotation?
well when something is orbiting a planet that means an object is basically circling the planet due to its gravitational pull. Rotation is the planets rotation not the object surrounding circling it.
