What are the differences between Mercury and the moon?
Mercury is a planet and the closest to the sun in our solar system, while the moon is Earth's natural satellite. Mercury has a thin atmosphere and no moons, while the moon has a very thin atmosphere and orbits the Earth. Mercury is rocky and has extreme temperature variations, while the moon is also rocky but has no atmosphere.
What is made of rock that orbits the sun?
planets of course, or asteroids. both are rock
What is a large body of rock or gas that orbits a star?
A large body of rock or gas that orbits a star is called a planet. Planets are celestial objects that revolve around a star like our Sun due to the force of gravity. These celestial bodies can vary in size and composition.
When does the moon rotate around the sun?
All the time. (The moon is actually orbiting around the Earth, which is orbiting around the sun)
How long does the moon take to orbit around the sun once?
The Earth's Moon orbits around Earth once in a Month and the Earth orbits around the Sun once in a year, so the Moon orbits around the Sun once in a year too.
What is a body of rock and ice that orbits around the sun?
an asteroid
Is an asteroid the same thing as an asteroid belt?
No. An asteroid is a relatively large chunk of rock and/or metal in orbit around the sun. The asteroid belt is a region in the solar system between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter where the majority of the asteroids orbit.
What is Earths sun?
Moon orbits around earth, which orbits around the sun.
How does the sun orbits oroung the moon?
The sun does not orbit around the moon. The earth orbits the sun and the earths moon (every planet has 1 or more moons) orbits earth.

What is different between sun and moon?
The sun is a giant nuclear fusion reactor and everything in the solar system orbits around it or is pulled into it by the sun's gravity and is destroyed. The sun gives off heat, light and radiation. The moon is a rock that orbits the earth.
Do other planets revolve around the sun too do they have there own orbits?
They have their own orbits, around the star they formed around, just like how our planet orbits our sun.
What is the the planet that orbits the sun on its side?
Venus, rotates or orbits around the sun on its side
What is made of rock that orbits the sun?
planets of course, or asteroids. both are rock
How is the earth and moon orbit different?
The Earth orbits around the Sun, while the moon orbits around the Earth.

What evidence do you have that the planets move in elliptical orbits around the sun and not in circular orbits?
Elliptical orbits of the planets around the sun actually match what we observe. Newton's Theory of Universal Gravitation states that planets will move around the sun in elliptical orbits.
