Which planet has the smallest orbit and the largest orbit?
The plane with the smallest orbit is Mercury, and the planet with the largest orbit is Neptune.
What does the orbit of a planet look like?
The orbit of a planet is commonly an ellipse.
How is a orbit made?
A planet or moon orbits the Sun (or a planet) and then makes an orbit
Which planet in the solar system has an orbit so eccentric that it crosses the orbit of another planet?
pluto
What is the shape of the path of a planet around the sun called?
An eliptical orbit. In theory a planet could also have a circular orbit, but no planet that we know of has a perfectly circular orbit, although some have a nearly circular orbit.
What happen to the planet's orbit if there is no sun?
There would be no orbit. You have to have a body to orbit around and without a star or other planet to orbit around, it would just move in a straight line.
What would happen if a planet had a larger orbit?
We all die
Why do meteors hit planet earth?
They will hit Earth if, in their orbit around the Sun, they happen to cross Earth's orbit.
What would happen to an object in orbit around a planet if the planet's force of gravity were stronger than the object's inertia?
The object would crash into the planet.
What planet do comets orbit?
Comets don't orbit a planet, they orbit the sun.
What would happen if the planets farther from the sun were caused to move faster as their orbit around the sun?
The orbit would increase in size (the planet would orbit farther from the sun).
Does Venus orbit a planet?
No, Venus does not orbit a planet. It orbits a star, which is our Sun. It can not orbit a planet , if it did it would be a moon
Does smaller planet orbit bigger planet or does bigger planet orbit smaller planet?
Planets orbit stars, not other planets. A planet-like object that orbits a planet is a moon.
Which planet has the smallest orbit and the largest orbit?
The plane with the smallest orbit is Mercury, and the planet with the largest orbit is Neptune.
What would happen to an object in orbit around a planet if the planets force of gravity were stronger than the objects inertia?

The planet that has an orbit that intersects the orbit of the dwarf planet Pluto?
Neptune.
