Americans send robots to other planets to gather information about the characteristics, geology, atmosphere, and potential for life on those planets. This enables scientists to study the planets remotely without risking human lives and to advance our understanding of the universe.
The planets travel around the sun in elliptical orbits due to the sun's gravitational pull. This movement is known as the heliocentric model, with the sun at the center of the solar system, contrary to the geocentric model where the Earth was believed to be at the center.
The sun and its family of planets, dwarf planets, moons, asteroids, and comets make up the solar system. The sun is a star that holds about 99.8% of the solar system's mass and provides energy that sustains life on Earth. The planets orbit the sun in elliptical paths with the inner planets being rocky and the outer planets being gaseous. Each body in the solar system plays a unique role in the dynamics and balance of this celestial system.

Space travel allows for scientific research, exploration, and discovery of other planets, moons, and celestial bodies. It also plays a crucial role in understanding the origins of the universe and the potential for finding extraterrestrial life. Additionally, space travel has led to advancements in technology and innovation that benefit society as a whole.

Planets travel in elliptical orbits.
Exploring other planets is a complex and costly endeavor that requires significant technology advancements and resources. Space agencies like NASA have focused on sending missions to nearby planets like Mars and Venus, but challenges such as high radiation levels, extreme temperatures, and long travel times make it difficult for humans to travel to other planets beyond the moon at this time. Additionally, there are ongoing efforts to plan future manned missions to Mars and potentially other celestial bodies.
Asteroids, and comets.
The path on which planets travel is called their orbit.
They could, but as of now, no astronauts have travelled to any other planets in the solar system.
The planets orbit (travel) around the Sun.

No. If something could it would have to move about 700million mph. That's why it is hard to travel to other planets.
Because the Sun has a great gravitational pull on the planets. Without the Sun the planets would travel in straight lines (ignoring other gravitational forces in the Universe.)
Sheer distance. We are talking about millions and millions of miles alone between Earth and Mars. When you factor in the distance between other planets, like from Jupiter to Saturn, the expanse of space only grows. It takes time to travel that far.
