How is the moon different from a planet?
the moons orbit the planet but the planets orbit the sunMoons revolve round planets. Planets revolve round suns.___________AlternateThe truth is that planets orbit round their moons, or more precisely a planet and its moon(s) orbit around their barycenter, the center of gravity of the planet-moon system. This is true for the earth, but this orbital motion of earth is less noticeable than the orbital motion of the smaller moon. I think the real difference between planets and their moons is relative size.
Is Mars round?
The planet Mars is round in shape. All of the planets in our solar system are orbits. The gravitational pull of the sun has formed the planets to be around.
What is the planet that travels round the sun?
All of them
How does the distance from the sun impact the orbital period and velocity of a planet?
The greater the distance, the longer is the orbital period and the slower the velocity. "Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion" contain mathematical details. Further explanation is given by the work of Isaac Newton and his theory of gravitation. For example, one version of Kepler's 3rd law is : The square of the orbital period (in Earth years) equals the cube of the average distance from the Sun (in Astronomical Units). <<>> The second half of the question can be answered from the above formula. For example, a planet at four times the distance of Earth from the Sun would go round the Sun in eight years. The length of that orbit would be (almost exactly) four times as far as Earth's. So, the planet would travel at half the speed of Earth. In this example, and also generally, the orbital speed is inversely proportional to the square root of the average distance from the Sun.
What planet take 28 days to round the earth?
No planet, but the Moon takes that time to orbit the Earth.

What is a celsetial body that orbits the sun is round because of its own gravity and has cleared the neighborhood around its orbital path?
That's the modern definition of a planet.
Which planet have the shortest revolution?
Jupiter goes round in 9 hours 55 minutes, so its outer layer travels at 28,000 mph.
Why Pluto is called a dwarf planet when the dwarf planet criteria is the same for earth?
Earth does not meet the dwarf planet criteria. According to the International Astronomical Union, a dwarf planet is an object in orbit around the Sun that is massive enough to have its own gravity pull itself into a round, or nearly round, shape but, unlike a planet, it has not cleared its orbital region of other objects. At present there are 5 recognized dwarf planets in the solar system: Ceres, Pluto, Eris (2003 UB 313), Haumea, and Makemake.
What is the orbital speed for each planet?
The average orbital speed of a planet or other object in orbit round the Sun is propotional to the reciprocal of the square root of the average distance from the Sun. V is proportional to 1/ sqrt (D) This can be derived from Kepler's laws of planetary motion, published in 1609 and still in use.
What planet taks longer to get round the sun?
In our solar system Neptune is the planet with the longest period or year - equal to about 165 Earth years.
How many planet move round the sun?
There is 8 planets in our solar system. There was once 9 before Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet.
How many ringed planets are there in solar system?
there is only one planet with a ring round it, Saturn
Why is Eris not the tenth planet in our solar system?
Eris is a "dwarf planet", and does not have enough gravity to make the surface round, or to clear other objects near to it.
Which planet has an orbit the same as the Moon's orbit around the Earth?
It's not exactly obvious what this question means, but I would say there is no such planet in our solar system. The Moon has an average distance of 381,000 km and goes round in 29 days so its velocity is 0.96 km/sec. For a planet to have the same orbital velocity its distance would have to be 371 astronomical units, in other words about 120 times as far as Neptune.
Why mercury planet is the fast planet aroun the sun?
Planets go faster if they are closer to the Sun. No only does the closest, Mercury, get round in the shortest time, it also travels at the fastest speed. The explanation lies in Kepler's laws of planetary motion.
Is Mars round?
The planet Mars is round in shape. All of the planets in our solar system are orbits. The gravitational pull of the sun has formed the planets to be around.
