Does the sun have a moon?
The sun has 8 or 9 major planets and thousands of smaller objects orbiting around it. Some of the planets have many moons. (eg Neptune has 13) It can have moons but so far all of the moons are to close to the planets to get caught in the sun's orbit.
Why do all the planets orbit the sun?
Not all the planets orbit the sun - other stars have planets too. But all the planets in our solar system, which is the system of our sun, revolve around the sun; otherwise they would be in other solar systems. All the planets we can see with our naked eye orbit the sun, since the planets orbiting the sun are the only ones close enough to earth to see without a telescope.
What is the region of the sky where the moon and planets appear?
The Moon, Sun and planets all appear in a strip of sky called the ecliptic. It is a plane defined by the plane of the Earth's orbit and the Sun is always on the ecliptic, while the Moon and planets stay close to it.
How are the planets held in their orbit?
Planets are held in their orbits around the Sun by gravity. The gravitational pull from the Sun keeps the planets moving in their elliptical paths. This balance between the planet's velocity and the gravitational force from the Sun keeps them in a stable orbit.
What happens if the planets stops orbiting the sun?
The planets will fall into the sun and get destroyed.
What happens if the planets stop orbiting the sun?
The planets will fall into the sun and get destroyed.
Which planets are close to the sun in our solar system?
The planets that are close to the sun in our solar system are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.
Which planets are close to the sun inner or outer?

What planets close to the sun?
Mercury is the closest of the eight planets to the sun.
Why some planets are close to the sun while others are further away?
It depends on what you mean by "close"
Why don't terrestrial planets rings?

Do planets revolve faster or slower when they are close to the sun?
They move faster.
What is small rocky planets close to the sun call?

What happens if the 8 planets and sun align?
Then it will look quite spectacular.
What planets are orbiting close to the sun due to their large mass?
The closeness to the Sun is not directly related to the mass.
Why can the sun exerts its gravitation on all of the planet?
Because the planets are close enough to the sun to be affected by its gravitational field.
