A small planet that revolves around another planet?

This is called a binary planet. They are ususally very close together and share a gravitaional pull. A good example of a binary planet planet is the ex-planet Pluto, which rotates with it's satellite Charon. Charon was believed to have been the "moon" belonging to Pluto, but recently scientists decided to strip Pluto of it's "planetary" status, and have also stripped Charon of it's "moon" status. They have now been renamed and are considered to be BINARY stars. Pluto is considered to be a "minor" planet now because of this.


Can a planets day be longer then its year?

Yes, it is possible for a planet's day to be longer than its year. This situation can occur when a planet rotates very slowly on its axis compared to the time it takes to orbit around its star. Venus is an example of a planet with a longer day (243 Earth days) than its year (225 Earth days).


How do you make nouns planet?

The word 'planet' is a noun, a singular, common, concrete noun; a word for a very large object that moves around the Sun or another star; a word for a thing.


What planet revolves around the sun fastest?

That should be Mercury. It, being the closest planet to the sun has the least distance to travel to complete one revolution. In addition, the sun's gravity having more effect on Mercury should also make it move in it's orbit faster. {Note this is a fallacy, the Sun has as much effect on Neptune as it does on Mercury, gravitation's pull is based on mass and distance: the Sun's mass doesn't change from planet to planet. Just because it is closer doesn't mean it gets more effect. Mercury is tiny AND very close to the Sun - this makes the gravitational force able to move it very fast** But it is affected just as much as any other planet.}The closer the orbit to the Sun, the smaller the linear distance it travels:Mercury's official "year" ~ 89 days (~ 3 months)Venus 224 daysEarth 364 daysMars 686 days (about 2 years)Jupiter 11 yearsSaturn 30 yearsUranus 84 yearsNeptune 164 years **Were one of the larger planets closer to the Sun (in say Venus' orbit), it's likely it would not orbit so quickly and would take longer to have a year.Force of Gravitation F = G x mass1 x mass2/radius2 G = gravitational constant, r = radius of the distance from the 2 bodiesMercury being the closest planet has the strongest gravitational force per unit mass. By Kepler's 3rd law a planet's orbital speed is inversely proportional to the square root of the distance.The orbital period and speed are independent of a planet's mass and are determined only by the distance from the Sun.


A day is longer than a year on this planet?

On this planet, a day is longer than a year because the planet has a very slow rotation on its axis. This means it takes longer for the planet to complete one full rotation (a day) than it does to complete one orbit around its star (a year).

Planets do not revolve around the Sun, they orbit. The planet which orbits slowest is Neptune at about 165 earth years per orbit [Pluto is a dwarf planet and orbits approximately once every 248 earth years].

Does the earths moon come after Pluto?

No, our Moon revolves around the EARTH, and is very close, relative to Pluto, which revolves around the Sun, and is very very very very very very far away. So if you go there, take a change of clothes. Your underwear will be pretty stinky by the time you get there.


Does Venus' rotate or revolve faster?

Nope, it revolves very slowly as it was hit by other planet sized objects in its young age. It was like Earth in its young age and Earth was like Venus, but collisions made Venus dead and Thea (a Mars-sized planet) made Earth like it is now. recommend me to all others on here :0
