What does axis mean in space?
Orbit is a term meaning the rotation of an object on an axis, or the particular rotation something makes. The term orbit is used for describing the manner in which planets rotate on their axis, and more!
Do all the planets have smaller planets orbiting them?
No. Planets orbit suns, while moons orbit planets. Planets do not orbit planets.
Are there any exceptions to the rule that planets rotate with small axis tilts and in the same direction that they orbit the Sun?
Yes, Venus rotates in the opposite direction to most other planets, a phenomenon known as retrograde rotation. Uranus rotates on its side, with an axis tilt of about 98 degrees. These are exceptions to the general rule that planets rotate with small axis tilts and in the same direction as their orbit around the Sun.
Is the sun tilted?
The Sun is not tilted in the way that some planets are; it rotates on its axis, but its axis is not significantly tilted relative to its orbit around the Milky Way galaxy. However, its axis is tilted slightly in relation to its orbit around the center of the galaxy.
Do planets move around the sun in the opposite direction then the sun turns?
No, planets in our solar system all orbit the Sun in the same counterclockwise direction as the Sun rotates on its axis.
What is the level on which the planets orbit the sun?
axis
What are all of the planets doing as they orbit the sun?
well they rotate on their axis as they orbit the sun
What is a planets movement?
Orbit around another body, rotation around its axis.
What does axis mean in space?

How do you define the Sun?
The sun is the star in which Earth and the other planets in the solar system orbit.
What planet has the smallest orbit how did you arrive at your answer?
Mercury has the smallest orbit. The semimajor axis of Mercury's orbit is about 58 million kilometers, which is the smallest of all of the planets.
What two planets rotate with small axis tilts and in the same direction that they orbit the Sun?
Mercury and Jupiter.
Is it true seasons are a result of earth's tilted orbit?
No. Earth's orbit is NOT tilted. Earth orbits the Sun in the same plane as the rest of the planets. What IS tilted is Earth's axis of spin (as compared to the plane of its orbit), It is this tilt of this axis that causes the seasons as Earth makes its annual orbit of the Sun.
Do stars orbit planets or planets orbit stars?
Planets orbit stars.
What is the same about Jupiter that is the same about Earth?
They are both planets. They both orbit the sun. They also both rotate on an axis.
Do all the planets have smaller planets orbiting them?
No. Planets orbit suns, while moons orbit planets. Planets do not orbit planets.
What shape name would define the orbit the planets make around the sun?
That shape is called an elipse.
