What else can I help you with?
Where does an object orbit something?
In space
The path an object takes around another object is called an?
This is an orbit.
What is the thing that moves in an orbit around something?
An object that orbits around another - is called a satellite.
What do we call the path an object follows as it revolves around something else?
The path is called an orbit.
What do you call it when something goes around the sun?
This is an orbit. Sometimes, people say the object revolves around the sun, or it orbits the sun.
A object orbit another another is a what?
a object orbit another object is called a what?
When a celestial body moves in an orbit around another celestial body?
Its means that if there is a planet, for example: Earth, The Earth is surrounded by the moon....so its actually means that a planet is surrounded by something else/A Planet
What is the path of one object circling another?
orbit orbit orbit
How come planets orbit the sun but not others?
If you mean "why don't they orbit other objects in our Solar System", the Sun has most of the mass in our Solar System.
Are orbit and rotation the same?
No, orbit and rotation are not the same. Orbit is the path an object takes around another object in space, while rotation is the spinning of an object around its own axis. For example, the Earth orbits around the Sun and rotates on its axis.
Why does an object in orbit needs a centripetal force act?
An object in orbit needs a centripetal force to keep it moving in a circular path. Gravity provides this centripetal force, pulling the object towards the center of the orbit. Without this force, the object would continue in a straight line tangent to the orbit.
What keeps objects in orbit in our solar system?
Gravity combined with the object's "sideways" (tangential to its orbit) motion. The Sun "wants" to pull the object towards it and the object "wants" to fly of into space. When these two things are balanced the object is in a stable orbit.
