Each planet takes its own time to complete its orbit, and if you could hover for centuries high above the Sun's north pole, (and had a REALLY big telescope) you could see the planets moving like the hands of a clock. Only in this case, a clock with eight hands, all moving at different speeds. Imagine a clock with hands for seconds, minutes and hours, but also hands for days, months, years, and decades.
You would see that every month or so two of the hands would line up, and occasionally three hands would, but usually they would all be pointing in different directions.
Right now, Mars and Jupiter are almost directly on the other side of the Sun from Earth, while Venus is off to one side while Saturn is off to the other side.
What else can I help you with?
What three planets orbit the sun in a different way than all the other planets?
In fact, Venus, Uranus, and the "dwarf planet" Pluto orbit the Sun in the same direction as all the other planets. So all the planets orbit in the same way.However they rotate in the opposite direction to the other planets.
Does the earth and other planets revolve around the sun?
Yes, the Earth and other planets in our solar system revolve around the Sun in elliptical orbits due to the force of gravity. This orbital motion is what causes the planets to move in their respective paths around the Sun.
What is the subject and predicate for this sentence the sun is much bigger than all the other planets?
Subject: The Sun Predicate: is much bigger than all the other planets.
What holds the planets in their orbits?
Planets are held in their orbits by the gravitational force exerted by the sun. This force is what allows planets to stay in motion around the sun without flying off into space or falling into the sun.
Why do they call some planets Inner and Outer planets?
The inner and outer planets are broken up by the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are "inner planets" because they are on the side of the asteroid belt closest to the sun. All other planets are considered "outer planets".
What are the names of planets on either side of the earth?
venus on the sun's side and mars on the other side that is far from the sun.
What side the sun always illuminate?
The Sun is a burning ball of gases at the center of our solar system. It does not have a particular side that is illuminated. The Sun is the source of illumination for the other planets in the solar system.
Are there planets on the far side of the sun?
We revolve around the Sun. There are only these known planets in our Solar System.
What is the distances between the sun and the other planets in the solar system?
The difference is that the sun is a star, the other planets are just planets
What is tilted with respect to the sun and the orbits of other planets?
Planet Uranus, it is tilted on its side by 98 degrees.
What three planets orbit the sun in a different way than all the other planets?
In fact, Venus, Uranus, and the "dwarf planet" Pluto orbit the Sun in the same direction as all the other planets. So all the planets orbit in the same way.However they rotate in the opposite direction to the other planets.
Do the planets line up all on one side of the sun?
No. The planets all orbit the sun at different rates. In rare instance they roughly line up, but not on any particular side of the sun.
What planet is tilted with respect to the sun and orbits of other planets?
Planet Uranus, it is tilted on its side by 98 degrees.
How is uranus different than the other planets?
It orbits the sun on its side and so appears to be rolling along its orbit.
Why do planets in your solar system revolve around the sun and not other planets?
the sun's gravity
How is the sun different then the other planets?
The Sun is a star.
Why is the sun bigger than the other planets?
the sun is bigger than any other planets because millions of years ago meteorites smashed together to make the sun and to any other planets that did not happen
