Distance from the Sun. (The closer it is, the faster it moves.)

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.
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 is a planets axis?
A planet's axis is the imaginary line that the planet rotates around, like spinning top.
Do all planets orbit the sun?
yes all planets must orbit the sun or else it would burn a planet or freeze a planet
Does Planet Earth have small planets around it?
No. There are no planets orbiting Earth.The Moon is not a planet.
Which planet is terrestrial planet?
Mercury,Venus,Earth and Mar, the four closest planets to the sun. The four planets are composed primarily of rock and have solid surfaces.

What colors are Dwarf Planets?
It depends on the particular planet.
What are the rings of the planets?
they are stuff around a planet
How is a moon different from a planet or a dwarf planet?
What makes a moon a moon is the fact that it is smaller than the object it is orbiting, and is orbiting the object (the planet) constantly.The definition of a moon is "a natural satellite revolving around a planet". Since a satellite is an object that orbits a bigger object, usually a planet, and is not a planet due to its small size, it is considered a moon and not another planet.
How many moons are among the outer planets?
Depends on which planet...
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.
How long those it take the planets to go once around the sun?
it depends on the planet because they r all different distances
What do you call a body in the solar system that is not a star or a planet?
It depends on what the object is. If it orbits a planet, then it is a moon. If it orbits the sun and is made of rock and/or metal then it is an asteroid or meteoroid depending on its size. If it is primarily made of ice then it is a comet. Dwarf planets are planet-like objects that do not meet all the criteria of a planet.
How is a moon different to a planet?
Planets are in direct orbit around the sun, while moons are in orbit around the planets.
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.
