it moves around the sun because gravity pulls it tward the sun, and inertia moves in a straight line, working together, gravity make inertia orbit (move) around the galaxy!

How are planets distinguished from stars on the celestial?
planets appear to move
What characteristics of the planets made some early astronomers doubt that they revolved around the sun?
Early astronomers doubted that the planets, particularly the Earth, revolved around the sun because from the perspective of an observer on Earth, the planets seemed to be at rest. They believed that the sun particularly moved around the Earth.
What makes the planets to move around the sun?
The planets orbit the Sun because of gravity and their angular momentum, which ultimately derives from the energy of the Big Bang.
It is now known that the celestial objects which appear to move backwards among the stars are?
Planets
Do all planets move around the sun or around the earth?
The planets that make part of the solar system move around the Sun. The huge gravity power of the Sun maintain all planets and moons orbiting around it on an elliptical form.
Why do planets appear to move across the sky's star patterns?
Because it does
The planets appear to move through the background of stars because?
planets are much closer to us than the stars
Why do planets wander?
The ancient Greeks called planets 'wanderers' because they appear to move through ther skies in relation to the 'fixed' stars. The apparent movement is because the planets are much closer to the Earth than the stars, and all planets rotate around the Sun, thus all move in relation to each other.

Why does the Sun appear to not move?
Because we are revolving around it, so imagine if you were driving in a circle around a street light it doesnt appear to move, rather you do.
Why do all the planets orbit?
Planets orbit around the Sun because of the Sun's gravitational force, it makes the planets move by its gravitational force.
How do planets move in relation to stars?
They mostly appear to move from east to west but there are epicycles during wich they appear to move from west to east.
When you view the stars and planets in the night sky they all appear to move on a great?
They appear to move on a great hollow sphere
How do the planets and moon move around the sun?
The moon orbits because of the gravitational pull from a plant. Planets move around the sun because. The lighter object orbits the heavier one, and the Sun is, by far, the heaviest object in the solar system.
Why do planets appear to move through the background of stars?
planets are much closer to us than the stars
Do inner planets move?
Yes. All planets move in orbit around their host star.
Why do planets change their position with respect to stars?
Because the Earth and all the planets move in orbits round the Sun, while the stars appear to be fixed if we disregard the Earth's daily rotation.
