What would happen if planets did not move in a fixed orbit?

If planets did not move in a fixed orbit, their paths would become unpredictable and chaotic. This would likely result in collisions between planets or ejections from the solar system. Ultimately, the stability of the entire solar system would be compromised.


Which is the wandering planet?

All the planets move continuously among the fixed stars, so they were called the wandering stars.The planets all move in or near a fixed plane. As they wander they all appear to stay close to the plane of the Earth's orbit, which is the ecliptic.


Why are planets not part of constellations?

Constellations are patterns of stars as seen from Earth, while planets are celestial bodies that orbit the Sun. Planets move independently of the fixed background of stars, so their positions change over time. This is why they are not fixed components of constellations.


The planets appear to move through the background of stars because?

the planets orbit the Sun at varying speeds, causing them to appear to move against the fixed backdrop of stars as seen from Earth. This apparent motion is due to the Earth's own movement around the Sun, which creates the illusion of planets traversing the sky over time.


What is the literal meaning of planets?

The term "planet" comes from the Greek word "planetes," meaning "wanderer." This is because, to the ancient astronomers, planets appeared to move across the sky in a different way compared to the fixed stars.

youre extremely annoying that's why no one answered youre question. look it up on Google dumbshit youll find it


What would happen if the suns gravity did not pull the planets tword it?

The planets would no longer follow their orbital paths around the Sun. They would move away from the Sun and travel in straight lines.

What would happen if the planets farther from the sun were caused to move faster as their orbit around the sun?

The orbit would increase in size (the planet would orbit farther from the sun).

How did the ancients distinguish between planets and stars in the night sky?

Ancients distinguished between planets and stars in the night sky by observing that planets move relative to the fixed background of stars, while stars maintain their positions.


Why do planets change their position with respect to stars?

Because the Earth and all the planets move in orbits round the Sun, while the stars appear to be fixed if we disregard the Earth's daily rotation.


What is the move around the sun?

That would be the planets around the sun.


In what type of solar system do planets travel around the sun?

That's the normal configuration - for planets to travel around their central star. If the planet would NOT move, it would quickly fall into the central star.That's the normal configuration - for planets to travel around their central star.
