moons
How does a moons motion compare to a planets motion?
A moon orbits around a planet, while a planet orbits around a star. Moons tend to have faster and smaller orbits compared to planets, which follow larger and slower orbits around the star. Additionally, moons' orbits are influenced by the gravitational pull of their host planet, whereas planets are not typically influenced by other celestial bodies in the same way.
A specific answer on why planets and moons of planets stay in their orbits?
Planets and moons remain in their orbits because of the gravitational pull other bigger planets or stars have on them, for example the Earth stays in its orbit because of the gravitational force it is subjects to created by the Sun, and the moon stays in its orbit because of the gravitational force it is subject to created by the Earth. It's all about gravity and force.
What are 3 distinctive characteristics of orbit of planet and moon in the solar system?
1). They orbit in the same around the sun, and as the sun. 2). Orbits of planets and their larger moons are in just about the same plane. 3). Almost all planets and moons rotate on their axes in the same direction as the planets orbit the sun.
How do planets stay on orbit?
The gravity of the Sun keeps the planets in their orbits. They stay in their orbits because there is no other force in the Solar System which can stop them.
How do the orbit of planets differ from the orbit of moons?
A planet orbits a star. A moon orbits a planet or dwarf planet.
What planet does moon orbits?
All the planets except Venus and Mercury have moons.
Do planets stay in their orbits because of gravity?
no
How do moons orbit the planets?
the planets do not orbit the moon but the moon orbits the planets because of gravity and inertia
What is a system in which moons orbit a star?
Moons don't orbit stars; they orbit planets. If it's a moon, then it orbits a planet. If it orbits a star, then it isn't a moon, it's a planet.
What are moons of planets called?
Moons of planets are typically called natural satellites because they orbit a planet just like how the moon orbits Earth. These moons vary in size and composition depending on the planet they orbit.
