What else can I help you with?
Do pluto and charan the moon circle around each other?
Yes, sort of. They basically orbit their common center of mass. The same applies to Earth and Moon; Sun and Jupiter; etc.; two such objects generally have the tendency to orbit their center of mass.
Does the sun have an orbit?
well we dont really know. i guess there is somethings we may never know
What is a barycenter?
A barycenter is the point around which two or more celestial bodies orbit. It is the center of mass of the system, meaning that the bodies involved orbit around this common point due to the gravitational forces acting between them. The barycenter may not always coincide with the center of one of the bodies, especially if they have different masses.
What direction does earth pull objects?
The force of mutual gravitational attraction between the earth and any other object pulls the object toward the center of the earth, and pulls the earth toward the center of the object. Both pulls have equal strength.
Do the stars orbit the planets or do planets orbit stars?
Moons orbit planets. Planets orbit stars. Some stars orbit other stars, or orbit their mutual center of gravity. Stars orbit the center of the galaxy. Galaxies may orbit the center of the "galactic group".
What is geocentric vs heliocentric?
The Geocentric Theory states that the Earth is the center of the universe, and that all other objects orbit around it. The Heliocentric Theory states that the Sun is the center of the universe, and all other objects orbit around it. Of course, the Heliocentric Theory is correct, since all astronomical objects orbit around the Sun.
Why does the sun orbit the center of the galaxy?
Gravity! If the Sun (and all other stars and objects in the Milky Way) didn't orbit the center, they would eventually fall in to the central super-massive black hole at the center of the Milky Way.
Do pluto and charan the moon circle around each other?
Yes, sort of. They basically orbit their common center of mass. The same applies to Earth and Moon; Sun and Jupiter; etc.; two such objects generally have the tendency to orbit their center of mass.
How many stars are there in a typical solar system?
Typically one, like ours. But it is possible to have binary or even trinary star systems as well, where the stars orbit each other, and the other objects in the system orbit the center of gravity between them.
How do things maintain orbit around the earth?
Gravity _____________ See link for information about different ways that objects can orbit other objects.
What is a path in which planets and other objects travel?
Orbit

What is the actual shape of an orbit?
Orbits (of astronomical objects around other objects) are basically ellipses.
What is the property described by objects that are constantly moving around each other?
Objects that move around other objects in the universe are said to be orbiting it, or in orbit.
What direction does earth pull objects?
The force of mutual gravitational attraction between the earth and any other object pulls the object toward the center of the earth, and pulls the earth toward the center of the object. Both pulls have equal strength.
How do all planets orbit the sun?
Through gravitational pull. The largest object will have smaller objects orbit it (objects close in size will orbit each other, but no planet is close to the size of the sun)
