∙ 11y agoDwarf planets, minor planets, comets, meteors, everything in the solar system. Even your fingers and toes are individually in orbit round the Sun, and no additional force is necessary to maintain those orbits.
Actually during the day your head is closer to the Sun than your toes, so the pull of the Sun's gravity is very slightly greater on your head, but not enough to be measureable.

∙ 9y agoThe sun is a large star situated much closer to the earth than all the rest. Other objects that orbit the sun are the nine planets and the moon.

Do all the planets orbit around the earth or sun?
Only 3 planets actually orbit the earth while the rest orbit around the sun. the three are mars venus and uranus.
What three things keep the planets in their orbit?
A planet is kept in its orbit because the Sun's gravitational attraction on it produces acceleration towards the Sun, which exactly balances the force, by Newton's laws of motion. An object that is travelling along in a curved path is accelerating to the side, according to Newton's theory, and in a stable orbit this can go on for ever without the energy ever diminishing.
Who was responsible for three laws that explained the orbit s of planets?
Johannes Kepler
Is earth larger or smaller than all the other planets?
Of the seven other planets that orbit the sun, three are smaller than Earth and four are larger.
What are two criteria needed for a space object to be a planet?
There are three things needed to qualify as a planet. A body has to be approximately spherical (achieving hydrostatic equilibrium under its own gravity), it has to orbit the sun and it has to have cleared its orbit of all other objects - so that at that distance from the sun, there are no other sizable bodies. Some dwarf planets, like pluto, fulfill the first two requirements, but not the last one, this is why they are deemed dwarf planets rather than planets.

Three dwarf planets?
The solar system has three classified dwarf planets. They are Pluto, Ceres, and Eris. A dwarf planet has sufficient mass, has not cleared the neighborhood around its orbit, and is in orbit around a star.
What three planets orbit the sun in a different way than all the other planets?
In fact, Venus, Uranus, and the "dwarf planet" Pluto orbit the Sun in the same direction as all the other planets. So all the planets orbit in the same way.However they rotate in the opposite direction to the other planets.

What are three ways that the outer and inner planets are alike?
Shape, rotation-direction, and orbit-direction.
In what 2 ways does the moon move?
I can think of at least three ways the moon moves. It's primary movement is the orbit around planet earth, then it is also in orbit of the sun along with earth, and on top of that it is circling the black hole at the center of our milky way galaxy along with the solar system and many, many other planets and stars.
Is earth larger or smaller than all the other planets?
Of the seven other planets that orbit the sun, three are smaller than Earth and four are larger.
What are three major things that set earth apart from other planets?
The three major things that set earth apart from other planets is atmosphere, climate, and weather.
What three things must a planet have to be a planet?
To qualify as a planet, a body has to be approximately spherical (achieving hydrostatic equilibrium under its own gravity), it has to orbit the sun and it has to have cleared its orbit of all other objects - so that at that distance from the sun, there are no other sizable bodies. Some dwarf planets, like pluto, fulfill the first two requirements, but not the last one, this is why they are deemed dwarf planets rather than planets.
What is the orbit of planets?
The orbit of each planet it the path it takes as it rotates round the Sun under the influence of the force of gravity. Every planet has a separate orbit and the orbits all follow Kepler's three laws of planetary motion.
