What else can I help you with?
Does Titan have a tilt on its orbit?
Titan's orbit has a tilt of approximately 0.1Ëš
Does the moon count as a planet?
No, the moon is not considered a planet. It is a natural satellite that orbits a planet, in this case Earth. A planet is defined as a celestial body that orbits a star and is massive enough to have its own gravity shape it into a round or nearly round shape.
The moon orbits what planet?
The moon with the specific name 'The Moon' orbits planet Earth.
Which planet is tilted on its side as it orbits the sun?
The planet Uranus is tilted "on its side" about 98 degrees to the orbital plane. But all planets in our solar system have some tilt to the side, including Earth which tiles about 23 degrees. (Mercury's tilt is very small.)
Which moon orbits farthest from its planet?
The moon that orbits farthest from its planet is Calisto. Calisto is also the most heavily cratered object in the entire solar system.
Even though orbits are ellipes what shape is a typical planet's orbits most like?
Planetry orbits are elliptical. Most planet's orbits are nearly circular apart from Mercury and Pluto.
Does Titan have a tilt on its orbit?
Titan's orbit has a tilt of approximately 0.1Ëš
Are all planetary rings at the planet's equator Do any have polar orbits?
No, all the moons and rings rotate in the same plane as the planet itself.
Planet's orbits are nearly circularWhat shape is the comet's?
Comet orbits are typically elliptical, meaning they are elongated and not circular like planet orbits. This can result in comets having highly eccentric paths around the Sun.
Does the moon count as a planet?
No, the moon is not considered a planet. It is a natural satellite that orbits a planet, in this case Earth. A planet is defined as a celestial body that orbits a star and is massive enough to have its own gravity shape it into a round or nearly round shape.
How can you tell something is a planet and not a moon?
A planet is in direct orbit around a central star, while a moon is in orbit around a large body (a planet) rather than in a direct orbit around a star. The moon orbits the planet, while the planet orbits the sun.
What planet lies in its orbit plane?
All planets lie in the plane of their orbit, but most spin on an that is nearly (many have tilted axes of spin) perpendicular to that plane. The one exception is the planet Uranus which has its axis of spin lying very close to its orbital plane.
Why is a moon not a planet?
A planet orbits a star such as the sun. A moon orbits a planet.
Is a planet a moon?
No. A moon orbits around a planet. A planet orbits around the sun.
How is planet different from moon?
A planet orbits a star whereas a moon orbits a planet.
What is adwarf planet?
A dwarf planet is a celestial body that orbits the Sun and has enough mass to be nearly spherical, but has not cleared its orbit of other debris. Pluto is a notable example of a dwarf planet in our solar system.
Planet 's orbits are nearly circular .what shape is a comet's?
All orbits are geodesic curves. Comets tend to have elliptical orbits ... as do planets, really; the degree of eccentricity (this is a measure of how "stretched" the ellipse is) just tends to be higher for comets.
