What objects that travel around the sun?
Objects that travel around the sun include planets, asteroids, comets, and meteoroids. These celestial bodies orbit the sun due to its gravitational pull. Each object follows its own path and can vary in size and composition.
What orbits a star other than the sun?
the sun doesn't orbit a star because it never moves as planets and stars orbit it because the sun is a big ball of gas and is not solid as the planets that orbit it .but i don't really know if the stars are made solid as i don't think it was proved but then how would they know that the blue stars are actually the hot ones and the red are the cold .hmm...i bet lots of people died finding that out.and...oh man i think i have explained anoutgh but I'll ave u know that a 11and a half year old just answered that!
Do nearby stars shift slightly back and forth each year?
Yes, nearby stars appear to shift slightly back and forth each year due to the Earth's orbit around the Sun. This phenomenon is known as stellar parallax and is used to measure the distances to nearby stars.
What is is the difference between the orbit of a comet and the orbit of a planet?
Comets have elliptical orbits as do planets, in general a comets orbit is more elliptical than a planets orbit. In some cases far more, insomuch as they are temporary visitors to our solar system. --- Comets are small bodies of rock and ice which are in a highly eccentric orbit around the sun. They spend most of their time slowly orbiting the sun, far out beyond the outer planets. Their orbit eventually brings them closer to the sun where they can then be seen more easily as the sun heats the surface and causes gas and dust to come away from the comet. Planets have much more regular orbits, their distance from the sun varies too, but to a much lesser degree. Planets orbits dont cross each others, and they are all on a similar plane. comets orbits are not always on the planetary plane and will cross the orbits of many planets throughout their eccentric orbit.
Do The planets maintain circular orbits around the Sun?
The orbit of the planets in our Solar system are not perfectly circular, but eliptical. Each planet also has its own unique orbit, no two planets share an identical orbit. Because of the elliptical (oval) orbit of planets some get close to each other or cross the path of another planet's orbit.

Do Comets orbit Earth the way the moon orbits Earth?
no, comets do not orbit Earth. If comets did orbit Earth, it would be Earths Moon's, but comets orbit the kuiper belt at the edge of the Solar System. Some times comets hit each other and get knocked out of their orbit and possibly hit a planet.
What makes comets unique?
Comets are unique due to their composition of ice, dust, and rock which vaporizes as they approach the sun, creating a glowing coma and tail. They come from the outer solar system and follow highly elliptical orbits, making them occasional visitors to the inner solar system. This distinguishes them from asteroids which are made of metal and rock and mainly orbit in the asteroid belt.

Do any planets collide in orbit?
No they each have its own orbit around the sun and they do not collide

Yes, nearby stars appear to shift slightly back and forth each year due to the Earth's orbit around the Sun. This phenomenon is known as stellar parallax and is used to measure the distances to nearby stars.
What is each planets path around the sun?
orbit
What shape is each planet's orbit around the sun called?
This orbit is called an ellipse. An oval shape.
How many comets are there on planet Neptune?
There are no comets on Neptune because Neptune is a planet and comets are, well, comets. They have nothing to do with each other.

How comets asteroids and meteors different from each other?
Comets are icy bodies that can have long tails when they approach the Sun, asteroids are rocky or metallic bodies that orbit the Sun, and meteors are small particles of rock that burn up upon entering the Earth's atmosphere. Each of these objects interacts with the Sun and planets in different ways.
The journey that each planet makes around the sun is called what?
orbit
