Yes, they do. However, planets CAN orbit around other planets. But we don't call them planets. They're just called moons... really big moons. Did you know that Jupiter's largest moon, Ganymede, and Saturn's largest moon, Titan, are both bigger than Mercury? ~Apple Juice

Does Gliese 581 have an elliptical orbit?

Gliese 581 is a red dwarf star and does not have an orbit as such. The term orbit is normally reserved for planets revolving around a star.


Planets orbit a star?

Yes, planets orbit a star due to the gravitational pull of the star. This gravitational force keeps the planets in motion around the star in a regular pattern. The orbiting motion of planets around a star is essential for maintaining the stability and balance of a planetary system.


What do all the planets orbit around?

All the planets in OUR solar system orbit around the sun(which is a star). Planets in other solar systems orbit around other stars.


Do the star planets orbit around the sun?

I'm not sure what you mean by "Star planets." However, I can tell you that there are 8 known planets that orbit the star Sol, including Earth (Sol 3).

What planets orbit Saturn?

No planet orbits around Saturn because planets only orbit around a star like our Sun. And Saturn isn't a star, it's a planet.


What are the major bodies that orbit a star?

The major bodies that orbit a star like our Sun are planets, moons, asteroids, and comets. These objects are held in orbit by the star's gravitational pull and follow distinct paths around the star.


When do planets orbit a star?

When don't they? If a planet is in orbit around a star, it is in continual orbit. Orbital periods (the lengths of time it takes different planets to complete one orbit) are different from planet to planet, and are related to the distances between the planets and their stars.

Do inner planets move?

Yes. All planets move in orbit around their host star.


Does the other planets go around the sun?

Our nine planets orbit around the Sun. Other planets that are light-years away orbit around their suns (A sun is just a large star with planets). Hope this helped!


What planet do all the planets evolve around?

I am not familiar with planets evolving around any singular planet. If you are referring to orbit, the planets orbit the sun, a star, not a planet, in our solar system. Some planets have moons in their orbit.
