They are different because they have different atmospheres to the Sun.

The main difference is that the Sun is a star which radiates energy and the planets are cold bodies which do not produce energy.

What three planets orbit the sun in a different way than all the other planets?

In fact, Venus, Uranus, and the "dwarf planet" Pluto orbit the Sun in the same direction as all the other planets. So all the planets orbit in the same way.However they rotate in the opposite direction to the other planets.


What is the orbit of the sun due to gravity?

The planets' gravity on the Sun is insignificant, compared to the Sun's mass; so, within the Solar System, it is (basically) the planets that orbit around the Sun.On the other hand, the Sun - together with all the planets - orbits around the center of the Milky Way (our galaxy).The planets' gravity on the Sun is insignificant, compared to the Sun's mass; so, within the Solar System, it is (basically) the planets that orbit around the Sun.On the other hand, the Sun - together with all the planets - orbits around the center of the Milky Way (our galaxy).The planets' gravity on the Sun is insignificant, compared to the Sun's mass; so, within the Solar System, it is (basically) the planets that orbit around the Sun.On the other hand, the Sun - together with all the planets - orbits around the center of the Milky Way (our galaxy).The planets' gravity on the Sun is insignificant, compared to the Sun's mass; so, within the Solar System, it is (basically) the planets that orbit around the Sun.On the other hand, the Sun - together with all the planets - orbits around the center of the Milky Way (our galaxy).


Do planets change position during each season and when do they change for each season?

Yes, planets do change position during each season. The position of planets changes due to the Earth's orbit around the Sun, causing different planets to be visible at different times of the year. The change in position of planets varies depending on the planet and the season.


Does the sun have any natural satellites?

No, the sun does not have any natural satellites. Natural satellites typically orbit planets, and the sun is a star at the center of our solar system, so it does not have any objects orbiting around it in the same way planets do.


What are some similarities of the inner and outer planets?

Inner and outer planets have some things that are in common but there mostly way different. For instants they both orbit the sun. On the other hand the outer planets are made mostly by gas, that's why they are called the gas giants. The inner planets are mostly made by rock and dust. The inner planets are called Terrestrial planets and the outer planets are called Jovian planets. The inner planets are closer to the sun, have more density, they have less moons, there about the size of Earth, and they rotate slowly. The outer planets (Jovian Planets) are farther from the sun, they have less density, they have more moons, they are large, about the size of Jupiter, they rotate rapidly, and they have more mass. These planets are alike because they both orbit the sun.

The way planets and stars are different?

stars make their own light and planets get theirs from the sun!!!!!!!!!! hi!!!! :):>


How are earth and the milky way different?

The earth is one of the eight planets we have in our solar system and the Milky Way is the galaxy in which our orbit of the sun takes place.


Do you Think The way a planets moons form is similar to or different from the way the planets formed around the sun?

Obviously they formed in the same manner...Gravity is Gravity!


How are the sun and planets different?

The sun is made from hot gases, collected by gravity, in a way so dense, it burns, and planets are either gases or rock, but not dense enough to burn.

How are planets different?

There are many ways the planets are different. One way is that they all have different gravity levels, they are all different shapes and sizes. Lastly that they are different temperature, and different material.

How do planets orbit according to law?

The planets and the Sun orbit around each others common center of gravity referred to as the barycenter. Think of the planets as free falling objects. The Earth, as all of the other planets, are actually falling toward the center of the Sun's gravity. That is to say, for every one foot they fall toward the Sun, the Sun moves one foot out of the way.

What is different about how the planets rotate on there axis?

Unlike their orbits around the sun - which was inherent in the way the planets were formed - their rotation speeds and axis of rotation is random and is dependent on each planet's history of collisions.


Where is your sun located?

Our sun is located in the Milky Way. The eight planets revolve around it. The sun is the biggest star in the Milky Way world.
