What do you think to a planet if its orbit brings it closer to the sun?

All of the planets in the solar system travel in elliptical orbits. They move closer to the sun every one of their years and then move away.

What planets switch places in planet order?
No normal planets actually switch orbits the way that Janus and Epimethius (Saturn moons) do in a co-orbit. Some Dwarf Planets sometimes are closer or farther from the sun than other kindred Dwarf Planets depending on their locations along their orbits. Pluto is sometimes closer to the sun than Neptune. Haumea is usually further from the sun than Pluto but sometimes is closer. Makemake has the same relationship with Haumea. Eris is usually the farthest but sometimes in its elliptical orbit is closer to the sun than Haumea.
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.
Do the dwarf planets have moons?
Yes, for example Pluto is a dwarf planet and it has three moons. Eris also has a moon.Yes of the 5 named dwarf planets :-Pluto has 3 called Charon its largest then Nix and HydraEris has 1 called DysnomiaHaumea has 2 called Hi`ika and NamakaOnly MakeMake and Ceres have no moons
Is a planet closer to the sun more dense than a planet far from the sun?
no because the closer to the sun the hotter the planet and if the planet gets that hot the more steam there is on the planet so therefore it will be dry ____________________ Yes, as a general rule. Scientists think that the reason that the inner planets are 'rocky' while the outer planets are 'gas giants' is because the solar winds blew gaseous materials farther out, leaving the dense rocky material closer to it. When the planets formed out of the resulting accretion disk, the rocky planets formed nearer the sun, and the huge clouds of gas farther out coalesced into the outer planets.
What planet is usally eighth from sun?
the 8th planet from the sun is neptune but not always, Pluto has an inclined orbit so for part of the year Pluto is the 8th planet from the sun and neptune is the 9th, but some people don't think Pluto is a planet.
How long does it take for a planet to orbit the sun write the names of the plants in order from shortest to longest orbit time?
well think about it the planets closer to the sun have the fastest orbit so knowing that the planets are already in order from shortest to longest orbit.
What is unique about Plutos orbit around the sun?
All of the 8 planets that orbit the Sun are in the same general plane. That is that they are all flat. Pluto's orbit is not flat like the rest of the planets. It is like it got caught while passing by. Some think that it is a burned out comet. It is a dwarf planet, no longer considered to be a real planet.
What planet is the imaginary path that the planet travels on around the sun?
mercury. I think you mean "Orbit".

Which planet is found in orbit four?
I think it is mars because that is the fourth planet from the sun♡♡
Does Mercury have the smallest orbit?
YES Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun The further away you are the larger the orbit I think it must be Mercury because it is the closest planet to the sun
What planet move around the sun in a path called?
I'm not sure, but I think you're looking for "orbit."
What planet has an unusual orbit?
Pluto, if can be considered a planet at all these days. It has an angle which is extremely different from the rest of the planets, and occasionally swings inside the orbit (to be closer to the sun than) of Neptune. Pluto but its not a planet anymore Pluto, if can be considered a planet at all these days.

What is The planet that has a period shorter than any other planet?
The general rule for the amount of time taken for a planet to orbit around the Sun is that the closer planet is to the Sun, less time is taken for one orbit. This basically means that Mercury will take the shortest amount of time for one orbit around the sun then all of the other planets. The full list of time taken for planets to make a full orbit of the Sun (from the quickest to the slowest) is as follows:MercuryVenusEarthMarsJupiterSaturnUranusNeptuneFrom this, it is clear that the closer the planet is to the Sun, the quicker it orbits it.To visualize why this is, think of a motor sport driver. When the motorist is travelling around a corner, they will want to keep to the inside of the corner. If they travelled around the same corner near the outside of the corner, they would go a lot slower as they would have to cover more of the track.
How does the distance that a planet is from the sun effects the temperature of the planet?
the further a planet is from the sun the hotter it is but if the planet is closer to the sun the colder it is(just saying I don't think this is right but if it is yay for me)

What Is The Time Of A Planet closest to the sun to orbit it?
I think the answer to your question may be perihelion. Farthest from the Sun is aphelion.
