The planets have been orbiting the Sun for a very long time. However, Neptune has the longest year, about 165 Earth-years long, and since it was only discovered in 1846, 166 Earth-years ago, it has only made one orbit since it was discovered.

What made Galileo more likely to accept Copernicus model of the solar system?
When Galileo observed that the planet Jupiter has moons which are in orbit around the planet, this made it more believable that planets orbit the sun, since it was already established that not everything orbits the Earth, as had previously been believed in the Ptolemaic system.
When the earth makes a complete orbit around the sun it has made a?
The time it takes the Earth to travel around the Sun once is called one year. This is equal to 365.24 days.

Number of satellites on mars?
Mars has 2 satellites that orbit around the planet. These 2 satellites are not man made. These satellites are naturally made of rock.
Does planet Uranus have physical properties?
The planet Uranus has faint rings, and the planet is tilted so the axis is nearly parallel to its orbit. The planet is a gas giant, which means that the planet is made of gases. And finally, the atmosphere is made up of hydrogen and helium.
How is a orbit made?
A planet or moon orbits the Sun (or a planet) and then makes an orbit
Did Neptune made at least one complete orbit around the Sun?
yes
Complete orbit made by earth around the sun?
Yes the Earth completes a full orbit once per year.
What are Saturn 's rings made of?
Saturns ring are rocks and meteors spinning around Saturn
What are mannmade and natural in orbit around a planet?
Satellites. The moon is a natural satellite. What you and I commonly call satellites are man-made, of course.
What does the word ''dwarf planet'' mean?
dwarf planets are mini celestial bodies that orbit around the sun but are too small to be classed as a real planet pluto was recently demoted from 'planet' to 'dwarf planet' A dwarf planet is one of the smallest "planets" in our solar system. They aren't classed as proper planets. They must be roughly spherical and orbit the Sun. (They aren't moons.) However, they don't "dominate" their region of space like an "official" planet. Dawf planet is a smaller planet compared to the earth and jupiter Thy are composed of rock and ice.
Does rings around Saturn keep souls there?
No, Saturns rings are made up of billions of bodies of ice, ranging from millimetres to metres in diameter, in orbit around the planet.
The planet with the most satellites?
Earth. Earth has one natural satellite, the moon, which is in orbit around the earth. There are around 3000 man made satellites currently in orbit. Jupiter has the most natural satellites (moons), over 60 have been confirmed. It has no man made satellites in orbit around it, but did have one between 1995 and 2003, an orbiter called Galileo.

What objects orbit a planet?
When an object, either man-made or natural, orbits a planet it is called a satellite.
What orbit the 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.
What it the circling of one object about another?
one complete circular movement made by one object around another object
