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.
What orbits a star?
Planets, moons, comets, and asteroids can orbit a star. These celestial bodies are held in place by the gravitational pull of the star they orbit, following a specific path around it known as an orbit. The characteristics of an orbit, such as its shape and distance from the star, depend on the mass of the object and the gravitational force acting upon it.
Do all planets orbit the sun?
No, not all planets orbit the sun. In our own solar system, all eight classical planets orbit the sun, but there are other planetary systems in the universe where planets may orbit different types of stars or even roam freely without a star.
What is the orbit of a planet called?
The motion of the planets are elliptical motions
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.
What are the satellite planets?
By definition planets orbit a star and satellites orbit a planet. Therefore there are no satellite planets.
Could a star orbit a planet larger then itself?
well for starters, stars don't orbit planets. Planets orbit stars, but some stars don't have planets that orbit them.
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.
Why are moons and planets different?
Planets are bodies that orbit a central star (in our case, the Sun), and moons are smaller bodies that orbit planets.
When 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.
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.
Does the star orbit the sun and the planet doesnt?
The sun is a star. And planets within its gravitational reach orbit it.
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 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.
Why is sun not in the category of planets?
Because the sun is actually a star. Planets by definition Orbit a star. The sun does not orbit anything and is a huge ball of mainly Hydrogen and Helium.
Do planets orbit the sun in a circular direction?
No. Planets orbit the Sun (or some other star) in ellipses.
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.
