Bodies that revolves around the sun?

Answer 1

That depends on what it orbits. If it orbits the Sun or another star, it may be called a planet, a dwarf planet, or an asteroid (or planetoid), depending on the size. If it orbits a planet, it is called a Moon.

It is also possible for two stars to orbit each other (orbit their center of mass, actually).

Answer 2

Define "large". If it's large enough for its own gravity to pull it into hydrostatic equilibrium, it's either a planet or a dwarf planet. If it's large enough to "clear its orbital neighborhood", then it's a planet. If it's neither of those, then what it's called depends on where it is and what its orbit is like .... it might be a comet, an asteroid, or a Kuiper Belt object.

Answer 3

The general term is "secondary body", the larger body being the "primary body". Sometimes the secondary body may be called the "orbiting body".

Sometimes "satellite" is used, but that's best used just for moons and artificial satellites.

Answer 4

Anything within the heliosphere ultimately revolves around the sun. This includes the planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune), objects within the asteroid belt, and objects within the Kuiper belt (Dwarf planets, comets). Moons and sattelites also orbit planets which orbit the sun, so indirectly, they revolve around the sun as well.

Answer 5

Many kinds of celestial bodies can orbit a star. Here, our star the sun, is orbited by terrestrial and gas giant planets, dwarf planets, asteroids, comets, meteor clouds that cause the numerous meteor showers every year, and a few miscellaneous types of objects. Other stars would have at least some of these bodies around them. A lot of the others would also have another star or more orbiting around them.

Answer 6

It will either be called a Binary star system, where two stars orbit each other, or a planetary system where non-stellar objects (non-star objects like planets, comets, asteroids, etc) orbit a star.

Answer 8

The primary bodies that revolve around the sun are the planets. There are eight planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. There are also a number of smaller "planetoids," including Pluto, which, until recently, was considered to be the 9th planet.

There is a large asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, containing millions of asteroids, revolving around the sun.

Additionally, there are numerous comets which orbit around the sun in highly elliptical orbits. (All orbits are elliptical, but the orbits of comets tend to be further from the shape of a circle than the orbits of most other bodies.)

The planets and other bodies are held in their orbits by the force of gravity. The force of gravity causes two bodies to be attracted to each other, according to the equation:

force = G m1m2 /r2

where G is the universal gravitational constant, 6.67 x 10-11 m3/kgs2, m1 and m2 are the masses of the bodies, and r is the distance between the two bodies.

The force exerted on the body in orbit causes it to accelerate toward the other body, producing a constant "centripetal acceleration," that is, acceleration toward the center (in a circular orbit). This constantly alters the direction of the velocity of the body in orbit, thus causing it to move in an ellipse around the sun.

Note that, since angular momentum is conserved, and angular momentum depends on both velocity and distance from the object around which it is orbiting, the planets move faster when they are closer to the sun and slower when they are farther from the sun.

Answer 9

The largest of the heavenly bodies that revolve around the sun is Jupiter followed by saturn, neptune, uranus and Earth.

Answer 10

Usually we would call it a satellite. It can be a natural satellite, like a moon. It could also be a planet orbiting a star. You also have stars that orbit each other.
