What else can I help you with?
Is the sun and all objects orbiting it make up the solar system?
yes cause you need the sun in order for the solar system to work
Is the Earth always the same distance from the Sun and if not why not?
No, the distance between the sun and the earth varies continuously because the earth's orbit is elliptical not circular. Also the position of the sun changes in response to the gravitational pull of the planets orbiting it (especially massive Jupiter).
Would a satelite orbiting the earth go through phases like those of the moon?
A satellite orbitting the earth would go through phases mucg like the moon. It is day and night. The side away from the sun would be dark while the side towards the sun would be light. Our visual observations are incapable of noticing this as even the ISS is very small to the naked eye. It is likely possible to record small changes using a telescope but that's really a waste of resources.
What are loops of matter flowing from the Sun called?
The streams of charged particles flowing out into Space from the Sun are collectively the Solar Wind.
On the sun where temperatures are extremely high matter exists in a state known as?
A gas.
What are same fragments of matter orbitting the sun?
Because the un has a wicked gravitational pull and yah they can't really stop orbiting.
What are fragments of matter similar in composition to planets that orbit the sun?
Those are asteroids, small rocky objects that orbit the Sun, primarily found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Some asteroids can be quite large, with Ceres being the largest known asteroid in our solar system.
A rock or minor planet orbiting the sun?
A rock or minor planet orbiting the sun is typically referred to as an asteroid. Asteroids are rocky remnants left over from the formation of the solar system that orbit the sun. They can vary in size from small rock fragments to large bodies several hundred kilometers in diameter.
Small lumps of rock orbiting the sun?
The small lumps of rocks orbiting around the sun are called nuggets. These nuggets could either be asteroids or meteors.
What is a small spherical object that orbiting the sun?
A small spherical object orbiting the sun would be called a planet, asteroid, or comet, depending on its characteristics and orbit.
What is the name of the small lumps orbiting the sun?
The small lumps orbiting the sun are called asteroids. They are rocky objects that vary in size and are mostly located in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
Small lumps of rock orbitting sun are called what?
Small lumps of rock orbiting the sun are called asteroids.
Is a meteoroid a star?
No. A meteroid is a small fragment of rock and/or metal orbiting the sun.
Is the moon on top of the sun?
No, it is orbiting our Earth, which is orbiting our Sun.
Are the rocks orbiting the sun or the planets too small to be classified as planet or moons?
Yes.
What is the name of fragments of planet-like matter that float in space?
You may be referring to asteroids, which are small rocky or icy bodies which orbit the Sun. There are many thousands of asteroids, most of which orbit between Mars and Jupiter. Most of the asteroids are too small to see, but a few of the larger ones are visible without a telescope.
What refers to a small celestial object orbiting the sun and ranging in size from a grain of to a boulder?
asteroid
