Asteroid - a small, rocky body that orbits the Sun.
A Planet revolves around a central star (our Sun in the case of our Solar System). A Moon revolves around a planet.
A planet is a celestial body that orbits a star, is massive enough for its gravity to shape into a spherical or nearly spherical shape, and has cleared its orbit of other debris or objects. In our solar system, planets like Earth, Mars, and Jupiter orbit the Sun.
The term that refers to an object that orbits the sun, has enough gravity to be spherical, but has not cleared the area of its orbit is "dwarf planet." Dwarf planets, like Pluto, meet the criteria of being round due to their self-gravity but share their orbital zone with other objects of similar size. Unlike full-fledged planets, they do not dominate their orbits.
PLANET
A dwarf planet is a celestial body that orbits the sun and is spherical in shape, but has not cleared its orbit of other debris. A planet, on the other hand, is also a celestial body that orbits the sun and is spherical in shape, but has cleared its orbit of other debris.
The spherical ball rolled down the hill into the street.
A dwarf planet is spherical in shape and orbits the sun without clearing its orbit of smaller debris. Examples of dwarf planets are Pluto and Eris.
Pluto is like a major planet in that it orbits the Sun and has a spherical shape due to its gravity. It is also composed of rock and ice, similar to the major planets in our solar system.
Asteroid - a small, rocky body that orbits the Sun.
The unlabeled spherical object between the sun and earth is the moon. It orbits around Earth and reflects sunlight, making it visible from our perspective on Earth.
A Planet revolves around a central star (our Sun in the case of our Solar System). A Moon revolves around a planet.
The orbits of the planets around the Sun are not spherical as many people imagine but are in fact elliptical.
It can be a planet.
A planet is a celestial body that orbits a star, is massive enough for its gravity to shape into a spherical or nearly spherical shape, and has cleared its orbit of other debris or objects. In our solar system, planets like Earth, Mars, and Jupiter orbit the Sun.
A satellite is an object which orbits a larger body. For example, the Moon orbits the Earth, and the Earth orbits the Sun. The Moon is a satellite of the Earth and the Earth is a Satellite of the Sun.
