A natural moon is one that was formed at the same time as the parent planet. Its mass will always be less than the planet it orbits.

Does a planet need to have at least one natural satellite to be considered a planet?

Of the eight planets in our solar system, the first two (Mercury and Venus) have no natural satellites. The dwarf planets Pluto and Eris have six moons between them. There is no relationship between the number of moons an object has and whether or not it is a planet. Planets may have no moons, while objects that are not planets may have multiple moons. In general, the larger the planet, the more moons it tends to have.


What is the relationship between a planet's distance from the sun and the planet's period of revolution?

The relationship between the planet's SPEED and its distance from the Sun is given by Kepler's Third Law.From there, it is fairly easy to derive a relationship between the period of revolution, and the distance.


Is there a relationship between the number of moon a planet has and its diameter?

No, there is not.


Is there a relationship between a planet's diameter d its period of rotation?

No, there is not.


Why does mercury has an average density thst is close to earth. even though mercury is a much a smaller planet?

Why shouldn't it? There isn't a direct relationship between density and size in general.


What is the difference between the natural satellite and earth?

A natural satellite is an object that orbits a planet, while Earth is a planet that has its own natural satellite, the Moon. Earth is a celestial body that orbits the Sun, whereas a natural satellite orbits a planet.


Which planet has largest natural planet?

There is no planet which has a natural planet.


What is the relationship between the moon and a planet in terms of gravitational influence?

The moon and a planet have a gravitational relationship where the planet's gravity pulls the moon towards it, causing the moon to orbit around the planet. The moon's gravity also affects the planet, causing tides and other gravitational interactions.


What is the relationship between the mass of the planet and the relative strenghth of its gravitational pull?

The relative strength of its gravitational pull is directly proportional to the planet's mass.


Is there a relationship between the distance a planet is from the sun and its surface gravity?

Yes, there is a relationship between a planet's distance from the sun and its surface gravity. The closer a planet is to the sun, the stronger the gravitational pull from the sun, which can affect the planet's own gravity. However, other factors, such as a planet's mass and composition, also play a significant role in determining its surface gravity.
