What else can I help you with?
Do all the planets have smaller planets orbiting them?
No. Planets orbit suns, while moons orbit planets. Planets do not orbit planets.
What does the size of the orbit of a planet depend on?
The size of a planet's orbit depends on its distance from the star it is orbiting. Planets farther away from the star have larger orbits, while planets closer to the star have smaller orbits. The gravitational pull between the planet and the star also influences the size of the orbit.
Do the stars orbit the planets or do planets orbit stars?
Moons orbit planets. Planets orbit stars. Some stars orbit other stars, or orbit their mutual center of gravity. Stars orbit the center of the galaxy. Galaxies may orbit the center of the "galactic group".
Do all planets orbit the moon?
No. The planets orbit the sun.
Does the sun orbit the planets or do the planets orbit the sun?
The planets orbit the Sun. The Sun is at the center of our solar system and does not move.
What Kepler discover about the orbits of the planets?
Kelper determined that the orbit of Mars orbit is not a circle but an ellipse.
Who determined the force that kept planets in orbit?
It was Isaac Newton who figured out that the force of gravity keeps planets in orbit around the sun.
Can electrons orbit anywhere they want like planets?
No, orbits are strictly determined.
How is the length of the year is determined?
A planets year is the time it take to make one orbit of its star.
What are solid objects that orbit the planets?
Solid objects that can orbit planets are called moons. Moons are natural satellites that orbit around planets in a similar way that planets orbit around stars. Moons can range in size from small rocky bodies to larger worlds with their own atmospheres.
Do stars orbit planets or planets orbit stars?
Planets orbit stars.
Do all the planets have smaller planets orbiting them?
No. Planets orbit suns, while moons orbit planets. Planets do not orbit planets.
What are rocky metalic objects that orbit the sun?
Planets or dwarf planets, depending on their size. (The larger ones would be planets, smaller would be dwarf planets.)
How slow do planets orbit?
It depends on their size, mass, distance and strength of gravity.
What path do planets orbit the sun?
Planets orbit the Sun in elliptical paths, as described by Kepler's First Law of Planetary Motion. While these orbits are not perfect circles, they are generally close to circular for the major planets. The gravitational pull of the Sun keeps the planets in their orbits, and the specific shape and orientation of each orbit are determined by the planet's velocity and distance from the Sun.
Can a moon be bigger than a planet?
No, a moon cannot be bigger than a planet. Moons are natural satellites that orbit planets, and they are typically much smaller in size compared to the planets they orbit.
How do all planets orbit the sun?
Through gravitational pull. The largest object will have smaller objects orbit it (objects close in size will orbit each other, but no planet is close to the size of the sun)
