The movement of planets around the sun?

This is called orbiting. Or a revolution.


WHY planets are ordered the way they are in your solar system?

My opinion is that God decided that or just the movement of the planets and how they rotate around the sun.


Are the planets like moons to the sun?

The planets are satellites of the sun. The moons are satellites of the planets. The moons revolve around the planets captured by their gravity, while the planets revolve around the sun captured by its gravity and the sun.


What planets does the sun rotate around?

The Sun does Not rotate around planets; Planets rotate around the Sun. Planets that include: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Also Dwarf Planet Pluto rotates around the Sun.


Comparing inner and outer planets movement?

The inner planets travel faster around the Sun because they are closer, while the outer planets take more time. The outer planets spin faster on their axis than the inner planets.

How do the moons stay in orbit around the sun?

The moons are around planets, planets are around the sun. But basically the orbit is a mix of forward momentum and the the pull towards the sun, this creats an angular movement. when the planet moves forward, this angular movement is now forward momentum and gravity is still pulling it towards the sun creating a angular movement and when added together this is roughly a circle that goes all around the sun.


True of planetary movement in your solar system?

The Earth and other planets revolve around the Sun.


Does the sun travel around the sun or do planets travel around the sun?

The planets orbit (travel) around the Sun.


How did newton's explanation of the force of gravity help scientist describe the movement of the planets around the sun?

Kepler found that the planets move in ellipses round the Sun and it was suspected that a force made them do that, because when you spin a yoyo on a string, the tension of the string keeps it going in a circle instead of flying off at a tangent (I don't know if Kepler had a yoyo or even Galileo either). When Newton came along afterwards, he invented the law of gravity and the laws of motion, and he combined them with the differential calculus (also invented by him and independently invented in Germany by Leibnitz) to show that the gravity from the Sun exactly explains the movement of the planets in ellipses.
