Which objects orbit is even more eccentric than the orbit of mercury?
Pluto's is, and almost all of the comets' are.
What consists of a star and all of the bodies in orbit it?
a "solar system".
Planets orbit a star?
yes, planets do orbit a star
What is the name of the path that a body follows as it revolves around another body?
Revolve can have two meanings. In this instance, the answer is orbit. Revolve can also have the meaning of an object spinning on it's axis. In the solar system, planetary objects spin on their axes as they orbit around the Sun. Most objects smaller than planetary objects probably also have rotational properties along with their orbital motion. Edit: Astronomers use the word "rotation" for axial spin.
Objects that revolves around another object in space?
Many different objects in space revolve around many other things. Usually, it is acceptable to use the term 'satellite' when describing a moon's orbit around a planet, or even a planet's orbit around a star.
What are the large objects in space that orbit a star such as the sun?
The answer is planets.
What is made of a central star around which various other non-star objects orbit?
A solar system.
How is a solar storm different from an asteroid?
A solar system is a star and all the objects that orbit it. An asteroid is an object of rock and/or metal that orbits a star and is too small to be a planet.
Does Sedna the planet orbit another star?
Sedna, like all objects in our Solar System orbit the Sun. The Sun and thus everything else, also orbit around the central core of our Galaxy - The Milky Way.
What do all the objects in your solar system orbit?
The sun
A system in which plants moons asteroids and comets orbit a star?
Natural objects that orbit a star form that star's solar system. The name comes from the name of our star, which is Sol. Earth is part of the Solar System. Another star's system might be referred to by the name of that star, as in the Polaris System.
What are the sun and all the objects that orbit the sun called?
universe
Is it possible for planets to orbit anything but a sun?
No, because part of the definition of "planet" is that it orbits a sun or star. However, an object the size of a planet can orbit just about anything: a neutron, a black hole, a star cluster, a larger planet, a galaxy, a galaxy cluster... several objects of planetary mass have been found that move freely through space, i.e., that don't orbit a star. Such objects would simply not be called a "planet" because they doesn't orbit a star. In most such cases, they would also be too cold to sustain life as we know it.No, because part of the definition of "planet" is that it orbits a sun or star.

What consists of a star and all bodies in orbit around it?
A star and all the bodies that orbit it is called a, "Star System". The star system that we live in has been named . . . we call it the Solar System, because the name of our star (The Sun) is "Sol".
Which objects orbit is even more eccentric than the orbit of mercury?
Pluto's is, and almost all of the comets' are.
What is geocentric vs heliocentric?
The Geocentric Theory states that the Earth is the center of the universe, and that all other objects orbit around it. The Heliocentric Theory states that the Sun is the center of the universe, and all other objects orbit around it. Of course, the Heliocentric Theory is correct, since all astronomical objects orbit around the Sun.
How do all planets orbit the sun?
Through gravitational pull. The largest object will have smaller objects orbit it (objects close in size will orbit each other, but no planet is close to the size of the sun)
