What planets are inside of Earth's orbit?
You cannot have planets orbiting planets. Planets orbit suns. Only satellites orbit planets. In the case of planet Earth, the moon is the only natural satellite.
Why do some planets take longer to orbit the sun than others?
Planets further out from the sun have a larger orbit to travel around, which takes more time. This is because their orbital path is longer, meaning they move at a slower average speed compared to planets closer to the sun. This results in different orbital periods for different planets.
Why outer planets take longer to orbit than inner planets?
Outer planets take longer to orbit the sun because their orbits are larger and therefore they have more distance to cover in their journey around the sun, as described by Kepler's third law of planetary motion. Additionally, the gravitational pull of the sun decreases with distance, leading to slower orbital speeds for outer planets compared to inner planets.
How much gravity does it take to keep planets in orbit?
A fair amount, though it depends on the distances of the planets and their masses. The important thing is that the gravity (and therefore mass) of the central sun must be much greater than that of the planets, other wise they would orbit each other (or the sun would orbit the planet if its mass was much greater).
How planets and moon are alike and different?
Planets and moons are both celestial bodies that orbit around a larger body, such as a star like the Sun. However, planets are typically larger in size, have more mass, and are able to support their own atmosphere, while moons are smaller and often lack an atmosphere of their own. Moons generally orbit around planets, while planets orbit around stars.
Which planets take more than a year to orbit the sun?
Mar, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
Do planets obit the sun?
Eight planets orbit our sun. More than a thousand planets far beyond our solar system are known to orbit other stars.
How do inner planets differ?
Inner planets differ from outer planets because they have rocky core (excepting Pluto), and the are much smaller than outer planets, which are bigger and take more time to orbit Sun than inner planets because of their location. Outer planets are farther from the Sun than inner planets.
What planets orbit interacts with plutos orbit?
Pluto's orbit is more elliptical than the major planets' orbits, and every time it goes round it spends some years inside Neptune's orbit.
What is a moon and how does it move around the solar system?
Moons are approximately spherical objects which orbit planets and are smaller than the planets that they orbit, although they are still relatively large objects (so an orbiting dust particle does not qualify as a moon). Since moons orbit planets, their motion around the solar system is controlled by the planets that they orbit; planets orbit the sun, and planets take their moons with them.
Which planet has an orbit that is tilted significantly more than the others?
Uranus is has an orbit that is tilted significantly more than the other planets. Uranus is basically tilted on it's side during orbit.
What planets take more time than Saturn to orbit the sun?
Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto (which has been reclassified as a dwarf planet but its orbit remains the same). There is speculation of a tenth planet beyond the orbit of Pluto, and if it exists it would also take more time than Saturn to orbit the sun.
How do the orbits of the outer planets compare to the inner ones?
The outer planets take much more time and also travel longer to complete a whole orbit around the Sun, than the inner ones.
What 3 planets take longer than 29 years to orbit the sun?
Saturn, years to orbit sun= 29.46Uranus, years to orbit sun= 84.32Neptune, years to orbit sun= 164.79
What distinguishes inner planets and outer planets?
Inner planets have a radius orbit shorter than the orbit of Jupiter. Outer planets are all the other planets of the solar system.
How is Pluto's orbit different from other planets orbits?
Pluto's orbit is longer and slower than other planets.
Which of the planets take less than a year to orbit the sun?
The two closer to the sun than the earth, mercury and Venus. The further you go out from the sun, the longer it takes to orbit it.
