What else can I help you with?
What planet has the shortest yea of the inner planets?
Mercury has the shortest year of all the inner planets, lasting only about 88 Earth days. This is due to its close proximity to the Sun, which results in faster orbits around it compared to other planets.
What evidence do you have that the planets move in elliptical orbits around the sun and not in circular orbits?
Elliptical orbits of the planets around the sun actually match what we observe. Newton's Theory of Universal Gravitation states that planets will move around the sun in elliptical orbits.
What planet orbits the shortest around the sun?
Mercury
What does the earth and planets do around the sun?
it orbits around it
What forces cause the planets to go around the sun and stay in their orbits?
The force of gravity between the planets and the sun is what keeps the planets in their orbits. Gravity pulls the planets towards the sun, but their forward velocity keeps them moving in a circular or elliptical path around it. This balance between gravity and velocity enables the planets to stay in their orbits around the sun.
In what type of orbits do planets move around the sun?
Planets move around the sun in elliptical orbits. These orbits are elongated and follow Kepler's laws of planetary motion, which describe the shape and dynamics of the planetary orbits.
What is the path the planets tke around the sun?
orbits
What is gravity responsibe for?
Orbits of the planets around the sun
What makes the planets go around the sun?
the orbits
Why do the planets stay in there orbits as they revolve around the sun?
because of the gravity the sun has and also the planets have gravity turning around the sun
If all the planets started out together on their trips around the Sun which one would finish the trip last?
Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, and has the shortest orbit. It orbits the Sun in just 88 days.
What are the planets orbits?
The planets in our solar system orbit around the Sun in elliptical paths. Each planet follows its own unique orbit based on its distance from the Sun and gravitational interactions with other celestial bodies. The orbits are roughly aligned along the same plane known as the ecliptic.
