What else can I help you with?
Planets orbit a star?
Yes, planets orbit a star due to the gravitational pull of the star. This gravitational force keeps the planets in motion around the star in a regular pattern. The orbiting motion of planets around a star is essential for maintaining the stability and balance of a planetary system.
A group of planets revolving around a star is called?
A group of planets revolving around a star is called a solar system. Each planet orbits the star in the center of the system and together they form a celestial family held together by gravity. The most well-known solar system is our own, which consists of eight planets orbiting the Sun.
Large bodies of rock or gas that revolve around a star are called?
Large bodies of rock or gas that revolve around a star are planets.
Stars are approximately the same age as their orbiting planets?
Yes. for a given system, the age of the planets and the central star would be about the same, as the planetary disc would have formed in one go. Most of the mass would go into the central star, with the remaining material in orbit slowly developing into the planets we have today.
Are there more Stars or Planets?
there are more planets than stars because to every star there could have several planets
In what type of solar system do planets travel around the sun?
That's the normal configuration - for planets to travel around their central star. If the planet would NOT move, it would quickly fall into the central star.That's the normal configuration - for planets to travel around their central star.

What is the solar sytem?
It's our system of a central star, the sun, and all of the planets, dwarf planets, rocks, moons and comets etc in orbit around it.
Do all the other planets orbit the sun?
Yes. Earth is one of eight planets in our solar system, all of which are in an orbit around our central star which we call the sun.
Is it true that a star with its orbiting planets is the solar system?
Yes, the solar system consists of a large central star (called the sun for our solar system), with planets that ore in orbit around it. There are other bodies in orbit around the sun also, such as minor planets, asteroids, comets, and other small objects.

Yes, planets orbit a star due to the gravitational pull of the star. This gravitational force keeps the planets in motion around the star in a regular pattern. The orbiting motion of planets around a star is essential for maintaining the stability and balance of a planetary system.
Group of objects in space that move around a central star?
A solar system is a group of objects that orbit around a central star, such as planets, moons, asteroids, and comets. Our solar system, for example, includes the sun and all the celestial bodies that revolve around it.
What is a group of planets and their moons that orbit a central star?
A group of planets moving around a star is called a solar system. Planets outside our solar system are called exoplanets. Despite the difficulty of detection, many hundreds have been discovered recently, orbiting other stars.
Why are moons and planets different?
Planets are bodies that orbit a central star (in our case, the Sun), and moons are smaller bodies that orbit planets.
What planets go round the stars?
All 8 planets in our solar system rotate around a star, our sun. Virtually all planets rotate around a star.
Do the outer planets circle the inner planets?
All planets circle the CEntral Star. So in a way outer planets almost circle inner planets but the Star is at one focus of the planets' orbits so it is more proper to say that planets orbit stars.

Do the star planets orbit around the sun?
I'm not sure what you mean by "Star planets." However, I can tell you that there are 8 known planets that orbit the star Sol, including Earth (Sol 3).
