What else can I help you with?
Do all the planets have smaller planets orbiting them?
No. Planets orbit suns, while moons orbit planets. Planets do not orbit planets.
How many moons does a meteor have?
A meteoroid does not have any moons. Moons are natural satellites that orbit planets, not smaller celestial bodies like meteoroids.
Does the sun have a moon?
The sun has 8 or 9 major planets and thousands of smaller objects orbiting around it. Some of the planets have many moons. (eg Neptune has 13) It can have moons but so far all of the moons are to close to the planets to get caught in the sun's orbit.
Do planets and moons have stars?
On the contrary! A star has planets, which circulate it. And planets have moons. Stars do not circle planets.
Does the moon orbit Jupiter?
Not our (the Earth's) moon but Jupiter has lots of its own moons that orbit it.
Why are moons and planets different?
Planets are bodies that orbit a central star (in our case, the Sun), and moons are smaller bodies that orbit planets.
Do all the planets have smaller planets orbiting them?
No. Planets orbit suns, while moons orbit planets. Planets do not orbit planets.
What smaller objects orbit a planets?
Moons.
How many moons do the suns have?
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.
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.
Does the moon revolve round the planets?
Moons orbit planets Or rather moons and planets orbit their barycenter.
What planets orbit Neptune?
None. Moons orbit Neptune. Planets orbit the Sun
Planets orbit around the sun but what do moons orbit?
Moons orbit around planets. They are natural satellites that are held in orbit by the planet's gravitational pull.
Do moons and asteroids orbit the sun?
Asteroids orbit the sun. Moons orbit planets and planets orbit the sun. So you could say the moons orbit the sun. However, moons are kept in their orbits by the gravity of their planet and planets are kept in orbit by the gravity of the sun. So in that sense, moons do not orbit the sun.
What is smaller a planet or a moon?
Size is not the differentiation of whether something is a planet or moon. The difference is what ir orbits. A planet orbits a star, and only a star. A moon orbits a planet. A moon is always smaller than the planet it belongs to, but some large moons are bigger than small planets. Ganymede and Titan are both larger than the planet Mercury, but are still much smaller than than planets they orbit, Jupiter and Saturn.
What are smaller than planets but bigger than moons and found in an orbit around the sun?
tibor
How many moons does a meteor have?
A meteoroid does not have any moons. Moons are natural satellites that orbit planets, not smaller celestial bodies like meteoroids.
