A large object that orbits a star is a?
Planet.
What is the difference between a planetary object and a moon?
A planetary object is a body that orbits a star (like a planet or a dwarf planet), whereas a moon is a natural satellite that orbits a planetary object. Moons are smaller bodies that orbit planets or dwarf planets.
What does the size of the orbit of a planet depend on?
The size of a planet's orbit depends on its distance from the star it is orbiting. Planets farther away from the star have larger orbits, while planets closer to the star have smaller orbits. The gravitational pull between the planet and the star also influences the size of the orbit.
How is a planet different from a moon?
A Planet revolves around a central star (our Sun in the case of our Solar System). A Moon revolves around a planet.
Does the moon count as a planet?
No, the moon is not considered a planet. It is a natural satellite that orbits a planet, in this case Earth. A planet is defined as a celestial body that orbits a star and is massive enough to have its own gravity shape it into a round or nearly round shape.
A large object that orbits a star is a?
Planet.
What is the difference between a planetary object and a moon?
A planetary object is a body that orbits a star (like a planet or a dwarf planet), whereas a moon is a natural satellite that orbits a planetary object. Moons are smaller bodies that orbit planets or dwarf planets.
What an object that orbits a sun but does not make its own light?
Pluto (if you still consider it as a planet),
A spherical object made of rock or gas that orbits a star?
Such an object is called a planet. We live on the planet Earth.
What type of celestial object does your planet orbit?
My planet orbits a star known as the Sun, which is a G-type main-sequence star.
What is a six letter word for a object in space that orbits a star?
Satellite
What is a large spherical body that orbits a star?
Generally a planet.An object that orbits a star can be defined as a planet.
How is a moon different from a planet or a dwarf planet?
What makes a moon a moon is the fact that it is smaller than the object it is orbiting, and is orbiting the object (the planet) constantly.The definition of a moon is "a natural satellite revolving around a planet". Since a satellite is an object that orbits a bigger object, usually a planet, and is not a planet due to its small size, it is considered a moon and not another planet.
Why is a moon not a planet?
A planet orbits a star such as the sun. A moon orbits a planet.
What do they call when an object that orbits a Star is rounded by it own gravity and has cleared the area of its orbit?
A planet
