Well the Greeks figured it out, but 1500 years later Copernicus published and got credit.

How many times does the sun go around?
it doesn't - the earth and other planets go round the sun
Does it take 1 year for planets to go round the sun?
This would depend on the planet, earth takes a year to go round the sun but that is because we named the time it takes for us to go round the sun a "year". The closer to the sun a planet is the less time it takes to circle it.
What is the name of the special path that moves around the sun?
The Earth moves round the Sun in a path called an orbit. All the planets go round the Sun in their own orbits, that way they do not collide. For the Earth, one whole circle round the Sun takes exactly one year.
How Do Planets Travel Around The Sun?
the planets go around in circles around the sun
Why are the planets considered satellites of sun?
Any body that orbits (goes round) another body is called a satellite of that body. Therefore the Moon is a satellite of the Earth and by definition all the Planets are satellites of the Sun. The term 'satellite' is also used to describe man made devices which have been put into orbit round the Earth - however when we make these go round the Sun or other planets we tend to call them 'probes' in this instance.👍
Why do planets go round the sun?
Because of the Sun's gravity.

What effect does the movement of the planets have as they orbit the sun?
It makes them go round in circles.
What are the orbits of the gas giant planets?
They are the path taken by the gas giant planets (that is Jupiter and Saturn) as they go round the Sun.
Who realized that the planets go around the moon?
Planets do not go around the moon.
What do planets do when they orbit the earth?
There are no planets orbiting the Earth because all eight of them orbit the Sun. But the Moon orbits the Earth, and all it does is go round and round in a rather complicated orbit which is disturbed by the Sun's gravity.

What is the best poem?
Here are the planets that we know. Round and round the sun they go. Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. These are the planets near our star. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, too. Neptune, Pluto, we can't see you. The sun in the middle. It's a hot burning star, These are the planets and the sun, Horah!!!
What is meant by rotation of planets?
They go round and round. Not only do they turn on their polar axes, but they also revolve around the Sun. So the planets each have two types of revolution. The Earth turns on its axis every day, and it goes round the Sun once a year.
What planets go round the stars?
All 8 planets in our solar system rotate around a star, our sun. Virtually all planets rotate around a star.
What is true about the movements of the planets?
They go round and round the Sun, they have done that for some billions of years and they will continue for some more billions of years.
What is the brightest planet around Jupiter?
Jupiter is the planet and the objects that go round it are the moons of Jupiter. (planets go round the Sun - moons go round planets). The 4 jovian moons you can see with a pair of binoculars are Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. Ganymede is the largest and the most obvious.
