Why do all the planets orbit the sun?
Not all the planets orbit the sun - other stars have planets too. But all the planets in our solar system, which is the system of our sun, revolve around the sun; otherwise they would be in other solar systems. All the planets we can see with our naked eye orbit the sun, since the planets orbiting the sun are the only ones close enough to earth to see without a telescope.
What are the closest planets to Mercury?
Mercury is the planet closest to the sun. Next is Venus and then Earth, therefore, they are the closest planets to Mercury.
What planets are on both sides of earth?
The next planet closer to the sun is Venus. The planet in the next outer orbit is Mars.
What naked eye planets that NEVER appears next to a full moon Venus Mars Jupiter Saturn?
Inferior planets (Mercury and Venus) can never be opposite to the Sun, since they are nearer to the Sun than we are. Therefore, it follows that they can't be seen next to a full moon, which is opposite to the Sun in the sky.
Does the sun orbit the planets or do the planets orbit the sun?
The planets orbit the Sun. The Sun is at the center of our solar system and does not move.

Does the sun orbit the planets?
No. The planets orbit the Sun and the Sun orbits itself.
Are the planets like moons to the sun?
The planets are satellites of the sun. The moons are satellites of the planets. The moons revolve around the planets captured by their gravity, while the planets revolve around the sun captured by its gravity and the sun.
How does gravity between the sun and planets control the path the planets make around the sun?
The sizes of the Sun and planets determine the strength of gravitational pull of the planets on each other and the Sun. The Sun's mass is so great that the planets can't escape from the Sun's pull and so as the planets are moving by the Sun pulls them back into orbit.
What pulls the planets to the sun?
The sun's gravity pulls the planets.
