if our planet Earth had a larger orbit than it does today, the temperature would be dramatically different and most life on the planet would most likely die out from the extreme cold.

Do all moons orbit a planet?
All known moons. But in theory, there could be a moon orbiting a larger moon, if the large moon was far enough away from the planet.
What objects in the solar system are larger than earth?
The Sun and all the planets outside the orbit of Mars (excluding Pluto - which is not a planet anymore) are larger than Earth.
Is Mars' orbit a perfect circle?
No planet's orbit is a perfect circle. They are all ellipses.
What would happen if you launched at a faster speed in to orbit?
Depending on the direction in which your speed was pointed, and at what stage of the launch it was faster, any of these could happen: -- you would get to orbit sooner -- you would settle into a smaller, more circular orbit -- you would settle into a larger, more eccentric orbit -- you would not orbit at all, but escape the Earth completely and never return
What do you call a path a planet follows as it travels around the sun?
U answer
What would happen if a planet had a larger orbit?
We all die
Do all moons orbit a planet?
All known moons. But in theory, there could be a moon orbiting a larger moon, if the large moon was far enough away from the planet.
What holds all moons to every planet in their orbits?
Gravity. As the planet rotates it's mass holds it's moons within it's orbit. The larger the planet the stronger is its gravitational pull.
What objects in the solar system are larger than earth?
The Sun and all the planets outside the orbit of Mars (excluding Pluto - which is not a planet anymore) are larger than Earth.
Why do the planets stay in orbit and not spin into outer space?
The force keeping planets in orbit is gravity from another, larger planet or mass. The larger the planet, the greater the gravitational force it will have. To give an example, the sun in our solar system keeps earth and all the other planets in our solar system in orbit because it has the greatest mass, meaning it also has the greatest gravitational force.
What planet do The moons of io europeganymedecallisto all orbit around?
They orbit Jupiter.
Did the earth and all the planet orbit the sun?
Yes, all planets in this solar system orbit the sun.
What is the planet orbit?
The orbit of each planet it the path it takes as it rotates round the Sun under the influence of the force of gravity. Every planet has a separate orbit and the orbits all follow Kepler's three laws of planetary motion.
If the Earth came into orbit of another bigger planet would the Earth the be a moon?
yes, if the earth was in orbit around another planet, it would be a moon. However, it wouldn't "come into" orbit around another planet, that's pretty much impossible. a trajectory change like that would kill all life on earth anyway, so it's not something humans will ever witness.
Is Mars' orbit a perfect circle?
No planet's orbit is a perfect circle. They are all ellipses.
What is the path of a planet round the sun?
orbit, the sun's gravity pulls all sorts of things into its orbit.orbital
Which planet rotates the sun?
All of them orbit the Sun.
