What aspects of the planets orbits are nearly the same for most planets?
1. Planets in the orbits all conform to Kepler's three laws of planetary motion, 2. The orbits are all nearly in the same plane,3. The orbits are all elliptical, but not very ellptical and near-circular in shape, with the Sun slightly off-centre.Added:p2 = a3P. The planetary orbital period in earth years.a. Distance from sun in astronomical units, based on 1 AU for earth. ( for example, Mars would be about 1.5 AU and you would use this value in the equation, not the actual distance )
What is the belt off constellations through which all the planets move is called?
The belt of constellations through which all the planets move is called the zodiac. It is a band of sky along the ecliptic, divided into 12 astrological signs representing different periods of the year. Each planet moves through these signs as it orbits the Sun.
Why do the 8 planets keep orbiting the sun?
The 8 planets continue to orbit the sun due to a balance between the sun's gravitational pull and the planets' forward motion, which creates an elliptical orbit. This balance allows the planets to constantly move around the sun in a stable manner.
The suns gravitational pull causes the earth and other planets to the sun?
Yes, the sun's gravitational pull is what keeps Earth and the other planets in our solar system in orbit around it. This gravitational force is what maintains the planets' paths and prevents them from moving off into space.
Why planets stay in orbit as they revolve around the sun?
The planets stay in orbit because of the gravitational attraction between the individual planets and the sun. Their rotational velocity makes them stay in a stable orbit instead of spiraling into it.
How many degrees is the Moon's orbit tilted relative to the ecliptic?
The Moon's orbit is tilted at about 5 degrees relative to the ecliptic, which is the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun. This tilt causes the Moon to move slightly north and south of the ecliptic as it orbits the Earth.
What planet is the furthers off the plane of the ecliptic?
Eris is tilted at an angle of about 44 degrees to the ecliptic. Although it is considered a dwarf planet.
What is the position of the planet Venus?
The position varies but if you look online or buy a planisphere you will see all planets follow the ecliptic path but aren't on the exact path. The planets are actually slightly off the ecliptic.

Is the earths axis rotation almost parallel to the plane of its orbit?
No; it's about 23 degrees off the plane of its orbit.
Where are Saturn and venus compared to altair?
The star Altair stays in one place in the sky, but Venus and Saturn move on (or near) a circle called the ecliptic, like the other planets. But none of the planets goes close to Altair because it is well off the ecliptic.
Can planets fall off there orbit?
scientists are still discovering
Did any off our planets fall out of orbit?
No, there is no scientific evidence that this is even possible.

The belt of constellations through which all the planets move is called the zodiac. It is a band of sky along the ecliptic, divided into 12 astrological signs representing different periods of the year. Each planet moves through these signs as it orbits the Sun.
Why dont planets spin off into deep space?
Planets are held in orbit around stars by gravity. Their rotation is balanced by the gravitational pull of the star, so they remain in a stable orbit without spinning off into deep space. This gravitational force acts as a sort of "tether" that keeps the planets in place.
What does sun orbit around?
The sun, does not orbit anything. Because it is the center of the universe, based off of the heliocentric model. Planets, and satelites(moons) do orbit the sun though.
Is Pluto lost?
Pluto is not lost, its orbit is well understood and there are people who know exactly where it is on any given day. However Pluto has an orbit that is unusually eccentric, and is inclined by 17 degrees to the ecliptic. That means it is found well off the beaten track where the eight major planets can always be found, near the ecliptic.
