What planets are called inferior planets?
Mercury and Venus, because their orbits are closer to the Sun than Earth' orbit is.
How long does it take for a planet to orbit the sun write the names of the plants in order from shortest to longest orbit time?
well think about it the planets closer to the sun have the fastest orbit so knowing that the planets are already in order from shortest to longest orbit.
When planets travel in a circular path what is that called?
asteroid beltA2. perhaps an orbit might be closer.
What are the 4 differences between the comet's orbit and those of most of the planets?
A comets orbit is highly eccentric, spending most of its time far out on the edge of the solar system and occasionally coming in closer to the sun. Planets orbits are more regular, closer to a circular orbit. A comets orbit also crosses the paths of planets, while each of the eight planets have their own orbit and don't cross paths. A comet does not usually orbit the sun on the same plane as the planets. Each of the planets orbits the sun more or less on the same plane. Due to the varying distance from the sun, the orbital speed of a comet varies greatly. Closer to the sun it travels quickly, far out on the edge of the solar system it will move much more slowly.
Do stars orbit planets or planets orbit stars?
Planets orbit stars.
Where in our solar system are the planets which orbit fastest?
The closer planets are to the Sun the faster their orbit speed
Planets closer to the sun orbit faster?
Yes.
What orbit closer to the sun?
Planets Mercury and Venus are closer to the Sun than Earth.
When planets are closer to the sun how are they moving?
They are moving in an elliptical orbit
What planets are called inferior planets?
Mercury and Venus, because their orbits are closer to the Sun than Earth' orbit is.
How does a planets distance from the sun affect the planets orbit speed?
the closer you are to the sun it affects the planets speed cause of the suns gravitational pull
Will a planet or comet be moving faster in its orbit when it is closer to or farther from the sun?
Planets and comets move faster when they are closer to the sun.
Will a planet or comet be moving faster in it orbit when it is farther from or closer to the sun?
Planets and comets move faster when they are closer to the sun.

Do all planets revolve around the sun in an elliptical orbit?
Yes, every orbit is slightly elliptical ... see - nothings perfect!
