Do planets orbit fast or slow if so which ones?
The close-in ones move fast, the far-out ones move slower. It's governed by Kepler's third law.
What 3 words could you use to describe the inner planets?
small, dense, and rocky
In three words describe the shape of the water table around a pumping well?
cone chaped depression
How to calculate an aphelion distance?
When an object is closest to the Sun in its orbit around the Sun, that is called perihelion; the farthest point in the orbit is called aphelion. The generic names (making reference to any central body, and not the Sun specifically) are periapsis and apoapsis (or apapsis).
What are the other words that describe excellence?
big words to describe excelence
What words could be used to describe planets?
Big
Which of these words means orbit?
Orbit is a curved or spherical path of celestial objects such as stars, moons, and planets. Other words meaning the same as orbit are revolution, rotation, course, track, circle, or trajectory.

What are some adjective words to describe shape?

Who showed that planets and moons stay in orbit due to gravity?
Sir Isaac Newton showed that all objects in the universe attract each other through gravitational force, in other words, he was the one that showed that planets and moons stay in orbit due to gravity :)
Time taken the sun to orbit the earth?
The Sun does not orbit the Earth. These are two of the Earth's movements: In 24 hours it rotates on its axis, making it appear that the Sun orbits the Earth. In 365.25 days it revolves around (orbits) the sun.
Which two planets are not seen in the sky at night and why?
Mercur. It has an orbit that is closer to the Sun, meaning that we'd only see them when the Sun is either up or rising... in other words, not at night.
What cause the difference in the lenghth of year among the planets?
A planetary year is defined as the time it take a planet to make one orbit around its star. The closer a planet is to its star the smaller the diameter of the circle of its orbit. In other words it has less far to go to make an orbit. Thus the length of a year is linked to how far out from the star the planet orbits.
