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.
What is a planet orbiting another planet called?
A moon? I don't think a planet orbiting another planet would be called a planet.
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.
Does a planet in orbit around the sun travel at a constant speed?
Velocity is a indication of speed and direction, so the fact they travel around it means that the direction is continually changing and, therefore velocity is continually changing. Kepler was the astronomer who discovered the laws of motion for the planets. Newton, a century later, derived the laws from his laws of gravity and motion. The first law of planetary motion states that planets orbit the sun in an elipse. So the speed is continually changing.
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
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".
Between 1979 and 1999 Pluto was closer to the sun then what planet?
t can change it isn't always exatly the same at least I don't think so
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
Why is the closer the planet to the sun it quicker it obrit sun?
Two main reasons, first is closer distance, means it has less distance to go around. Secondly, the closer to the sun, the heavier its gravitational pull. Think of it rotating faster because the sun pulls it faster than us.
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)
Can crabs reproduce?
How do you think they got where they are? You think the Tooth Fairy brings them? Every living thing on the planet reproduces. It's how the species survives.
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.
