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.


How is the moon different from a planet?

the moons orbit the planet but the planets orbit the sunMoons revolve round planets. Planets revolve round suns.___________AlternateThe truth is that planets orbit round their moons, or more precisely a planet and its moon(s) orbit around their barycenter, the center of gravity of the planet-moon system. This is true for the earth, but this orbital motion of earth is less noticeable than the orbital motion of the smaller moon. I think the real difference between planets and their moons is relative size.


How Do Planets Travel Around The Sun?

Planets travel around the Sun in elliptical orbits due to the gravitational pull of the Sun. This gravitational force keeps the planets in their respective paths, causing them to move in a continuous loop around the Sun. The speed at which a planet travels around the Sun depends on its distance from the Sun and the mass of the Sun.


Can planets form on another planet?

It is highly unlikely for planets to form on another planet. Planets typically form from material surrounding a star, not from existing planets. However, moons can form around planets through processes such as accretion or capture.


Is the moon and sun a planet?

Neither the Sun nor the Moon are planets. Planets rotate around the Sun. Moons rotate around planets. There are other rules to explain the difference between planets and asteroids and comets which also rotate around the sun. Such as planets because of their strong gravitational field, clear objects in their rotation around the Sun, something a small asteroid, nor a small comet can do. However, neither the Sun (which planets rotate around), nor, the Moon (which rotates around the planet Earth), is a planet.

What other planets have there own planets?

As of now, the only planet known to have its own moon is Earth. Other planets in our solar system have moons but no planets of their own. In our solar system, moons primarily orbit around planets rather than planets orbiting around other planets.

How long those it take the planets to go once around the sun?

it depends on the planet because they r all different distances


Why do planets revolve around d sun in a particular orbit?

The planets revolve attracted by the gravitational force of primarily the sun and to a lesser degree the gravitational attraction of other planets. The reason for the orbit is thought to relate to the rotation of the primeval gas could which gave berth to the sun and the planets.


What planet has the most planets?

Planets don't have planets. The Sun has planets, and planets have moons.Dwarf planets might orbit around each other, but this answer uses the correct definition of the term planet, which does not include Pluto or Charon.


Is mars closet to planet earth?

It depends. Which planet is closest to Earth depends on where each of the planets is in its orbit, the planets all have different orbital periods. At any given time the closest planet to Earth may be Mercury, Venus, or Mars. Of all the planets, Venus comes closest.


Is the coldest planet Uranus or Neptune?

Neptune. It depends on what is being compared: core of planets OR atmosphere of planets.
