How is a moon different from a planet?
Planets orbit stars, moons orbit planets. That is the only difference.
How does the orbit of Neptune's moon Triton by Charon that of other satellites?
It is the only large moon in the Solar System with a retrograde orbit, which is an orbit in the opposite direction to its planet's rotation.
What 8th planet from the sun spins in a different direction from the others?
Answer: Pluto is the only planet that spins in a different way Answer: Venus spins in the opposite direction to most of the other planets, while Uranus' spin axis almost "lies" on the plane of its orbit, resulting in the north pole (for example) being the warmest part of the planet during the summer.
What moon revolves around its planet in retrograde orbit?
Triton, the largest moon of Neptune, is the only large moon that orbits its planet in a retrograde motion. That is to say that its orbital direction is in the opposite direction to the planets rotation. Triton is thought to have been an object 'captured' from the Kuiper belt.
Is there any planet that does not revolve in oval orbit?
A planet revolving around a single star will always have a relatively circular or ovular path. The only time the orbit would be different would be if the planet was being pulled by the gravity of multiple stars.
Outward force made by centrifugal force that keeps planets in orbit?
Centrifugal force doesn't exist, and there is no outward force acting on planets. The only force on them is the 'centripetal' one ... the gravitational force between each planet and the sun, that attracts the planet in the direction toward the sun. That's the only force required to keep a planet in orbit ... which is lucky, because it's the only force there is.
What is the name of the path along which a planet travels?
riding "shotgun"Ans 2.The path of any orbit is an ellipse.Note. It is possible to have a circular orbit, but mathematically speaking a circle is only a 'special case' of an ellipse.
What is the only planet that rotates a different direction than the other planets?
Actually there are two, Venus and Uranus.
What is the only planet to orbit the sun on its side?
Uranus.
What planet has something that no other planet has?
Venus is the only planet in our solar system that spins in the opposite direction to the other planets. Its rotation is retrograde compared to its orbit around the Sun, making it unique in this aspect.
Which planet has the sortest orbit?
In our solar system, the planet Mercury, being closest to the sun, has the shortest orbit, which it completes in only 88 days.
What planet is most circular orbit of any of the planets?
Probably Venus, who's orbit varies only imperceptibly from a perfect circle. Venus's orbit is elliptical, but not so the average layman would notice (to astronomers, of course, it is quite different).
