All the planets in the solar system orbit in the same direction, counter-clockwise.
Planet earth is not in any of the approximately 150 globular clusters which are known to exist in our galaxy, the Milky Way. Our solar system is on one of the spiral arms of the Milky Way.
MIlky Way galaxie, third planet from the sun
AnswerThe truth is, the other planets DO have atmospheres.Planets other than Earth have gases surrounding the planet just like we do here. However, the types and/or quantities of gases in the atmospheres of other planets are simply not capable of supporting life like Earth is for one reason or another.Venus, for example, has an atmosphere extremely rich in greenhouse gases such as Carbon Dioxide. Because of this, Venus is a VERY hot planet from all the solar radiation that is constantly beaming onto the planet with no way to escape.Venus is not hot though find out more on wikipedia
It's hard to answer this question because it changes, depending on the positions of the planets in their orbits.Venus can get closer to Earth than any other planet, but that doesn't mean it's always the closest. The orbit of Venus averages about 41 million kilometers (25.5 million miles) closer to the Sun than Earth. The orbit of Mars averages about 79 million kilometers (49 million miles) farther out than Earth.At any given time, Venus or Mars (or very, very rarely, Mercury) might be the closest planet to Earth.
Yes. It is not like the Earth owns the Milky Way but some of us Earthlings call the galaxy in which the solar system resides (with the Earth) for The Milky Way [Swedes call it "Vintergatan" (the Winter Road)]
...only as a metaphor. The Earth is a planet that is in the Milky Way galaxy. The Earth is not a galaxy. No, the Earth is a planet which orbits the Sun (which is a star) along with several other plants, this is called the solar system. Our Sun and its planets along with millions of other stars form a galaxy called The Milky Way.
The sun does not orbit around the moon. The earth orbits the sun and the earths moon (every planet has 1 or more moons) orbits earth.
Well it orbits just the way any other planet does
The Earth is to the Moon as a planet is to its moon. So, if we're talking about a satellite orbiting a planet, then the planet would be analogous to the Earth, and the satellite would be analogous to the Moon.
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!
A satellite is an object that orbits around a planet or body in space. There are artificial satellites and natural satellites. An artificial satellite is an object, like a space station, that has been set into orbit around a planet by humans. A natural satellite naturally finds its way into close orbit around a planet, like the moon naturally orbits the Earth.
The moon orbits the earth. How do we know the earth doesn't orbit the moon? The planet with the bigger mass, therefore stronger gravity, is the one controlling the other, so since the earth is bigger than the moon, the moon orbits the earth, not vice versa. It's best to think of the Earth and Moon as one system. Each body attracts the other, in accordance with Newton's Law of Gravitation. Earth and Moon orbit around their common "center of mass". Because the Earth has about 80 times the mass of the Moon, this center of mass is actually inside the surface of the Earth.
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.
The earth turns on its axis; it orbits around the earth-moon barycenter; it orbits around the sun.
the moon orbits around the planet, not the other way around; gravity keeps it orbiting
Yes. The entire solar system is in the Milky Way.
The Earth is the third planet from the Sun in our solar system, and it is located in the Milky Way galaxy. It is part of the inner solar system and orbits the Sun at an average distance of about 93 million miles.
