Yes. In fact, all the planets are moving all the time. They revolve about their axes, and rotate about the sun. A heavy hit from a large space rock can cause a planet to "ring" from the impact, and a very large rock can alter a planet's orbit a bit.
true
Yes, scientist know for a fact that there is other lving things on the other Planets. Recently, on world news they proved that there is water on Mars. We do not know exaclly which planets have living things because humans have only discovered The moon.
When a planet is closest to us is not determined by the time of year. Each planet takes a different amount of time to orbit the sun. So as we are orbiting the sun, so is Jupiter, and the time we are closest to it in one year will be different the following year, as Jupiter will have moved by then.
There is no planet that is called the "glossy planet".
Mercury was named after the Roman messenger god, Mercury, who was equivalent to the Greek god Hermes. The planet appeared to move quickly across the sky, similar to the fast-moving messenger god in mythology, hence the association.
If the planet moved out of it's orbit the planet can be destroyed or spin out of control
All planets have elliptical orbits.
true
Yes, in ancient times, the moon was considered a planet because it was believed to be a celestial body that moved independently in the sky.
Some stay in Europe. Some moved to Israel. Others moved to places all over the planet.
A piece of Saturn's ring has moved 150 miles closer
The planet always moved very fast. But it's fastest velocity would be attained at it's nearest approach to the sun.
People who study the sky continually over a number of nights can see the planets have moved.
Both the planet Mercury and the element Mercury are neamed for the Greek god Mercury, who was the Messager of the Gods and therefore moved quickly.
There is no evidence that they did. In fact, it is believed that the plantes originated in a different orbit, and later moved to their current orbits.
The word "planet" derives from a word meaning "wanderer". When the ancients looked up at the night sky, they noticed the stars had fixed positions but that other lights moved or wandered against the stellar background.
The planet Mercury moves rapidly across the sky. The Greek God Mercury moved rapidly because he was the messenger of the Gods. The one suggested the other so the planet was given the name of the Greek God.
