the planet moves around the orbit because it is heavy and strong enough to pull its self in a circle around the sun. Thanks!:)

I'm not sure, but I think you're looking for "orbit."


How does the orbits effect the way planets move?

Orbits help a planet move because of gravitational pull which makes the planet orbit round and round. The planets orbit around the son and the moon orbits around earth. Hope this helps!


The planets move around the sun in a path called an?

orbit, which is the curved path that a planet takes as it revolves around the sun.


What is the link between the suns gravity and the motion of a planet?

The Sun's gravity causes a planet to move in its orbit. The Sun's gravity provides a centripetal force. The effects of the Sun's gravity, combined with the planet's inertia (tendency to move in a straight line), results in a planet's elliptical orbit.


Why do planet stay in their orbit?

The "inertia" of the moving planet combines with the force of gravity between the planet and the Sun, causing the planet to move in an orbit around the Sun. "Inertia" is basically the tendency for a moving body to move in a straight line unless acted upon by a force (such as gravity).


What is the name of the path of where all planets move around the Sun?

What would happen if the planets farther from the sun were caused to move faster as their orbit around the sun?

The orbit would increase in size (the planet would orbit farther from the sun).


All celestial bodies that move in a circular orbit move around something bigger planet xyz moves in a circular obit therefore planet xyz must be moving around something bigger?

Not all celestial bodies move in circular orbits around larger objects. Planets can also orbit around stars or even on their own. So, it is not a requirement for a planet in a circular orbit to be moving around something bigger.
