No, at least, not permanently. Of course, at any one moment the Sun will block the light of any object behind it.

Most of the objects in our solar system orbit what celestial body?
Our Sun, although with the amount of debris in Earth orbit...
What does Pluto do that no other planet does?
First of all, it's a dwarf planet: A celestial body orbiting the Sun that is massive enough to be rounded by its own gravity but which has not cleared its neighbouring region of planetesimals and is not a satellite. (Wikipedia) It has a greater semimajor axis (39.54 AU), is more steeply inclined to the ecliptic (17.15 degrees), and has a greater eccentricity (0.250) than that of any of the planets. In fact, Pluto's noncircular orbit sometimes takes it nearer the Sun than Neptune. ("Universe: The Solar System" Third Edition, Freedman and Kaufmann.)
Instrument for taking altitude of sun or stars?
The sextant is used in celestial navigation.
What is the Jupiter moons relative position from the sun?
They orbit Jupiter so would share that planets position in relation to the Sun.
What is the nine major celestial bodies that orbit the sun called?
Actually, it's now eight, after scientists have decided that Pluto is not a planet, but a "dwarf planet". So the remaining eight in order from the Sun are as follows: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. Or in an acronym way to remember, My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Noodles.
What is a large celestial body orbiting the Sun that doesn't make itsown light?

Does sun revolve around any celestial body?
No sun doesn't revolve to any celestial body, but the celestial body revolve around the sun.
What does it mean if an outer planet is at superior conjunction?
An celestial body is at superior conjunction if it is on the opposite side of the sun from the Earth. A celestial body is at inferior conjunction when it is between the sun and the Earth. _______________________________________Only interior planets (Mercury and Venus) can have "superior conjunctions". The outer planets Mars, Jupiter and Saturn have either "conjunctions" (when the planet is on the other side of the Sun) or "opposition" (when the planet is opposite the Sun in the sky.
Is the sun a moon or a star?
Our sun is a star. Stars are self-luminous celestial body which is made out of a mass of gasses that is held together by gravity. The light seen by us are caused by nuclear reactions occurring within the stars core. A moon is a celestial body that orbits a planet or other celestial body.
Why are Pluto and Neptune cold planets?
First of all, Pluto is not a planet. Pluto is a dwarf.Neptune and Pluto are freezing cold because they are the furthest celestial bodies from the sun. The further a celestial body is from the sun, the less heat and light theyreceive.
What is a small celestial body that orbits another celestial body other than the sun?
satellite
Is there any energy in other planets?
Yes-Venus has the most temperature-wise, but every planet/celestial body that orbits the sun has energy.
What celestial body is the producer of most your light?
The Sun is the celestial body producing most of the light on Earth. If we had the ability to capture all the light striking Earth, every human on the planet would have enough power to operate a 4,000 kW lamp.
What is the celestial body of gas an emits light?
sun
What planet hols the celestial record for the fastest revolution around the sun?
mercury
Do some planets on the solar system do not orbit the sun?
By definition, a planet is a celestial body that orbits a star (the sun) directly. A satellite is an object in space that orbits a planet. Mercury, which is comparable in size to our Moon, orbits the sun. Therefore, Mercury is a planet. Our Moon is a satellite of Earth. If it had its own path around the sun, we wouldn't have a moon and it would be considered a planet.
