How many moons are in a sun?
The concept of "moons in a sun" is not scientifically defined, as suns (like our Sun) are stars and do not contain moons. Moons orbit planets, while stars are at the center of solar systems. In our solar system, there are eight planets, each potentially having its own moons, but the Sun itself has no moons.
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 characteristics do all moons share that are not shared by all planets?
All moons orbit around planets, whereas not all planets have moons. Moons are generally smaller in size compared to planets and lack an atmosphere. Moons also lack the ability to emit light on their own, unlike planets which may reflect light from the sun.
Are comets moons?
No. Comets are not moons as they orbit the sun, not planets.
How many moons can fit between mercury and the sun?
The average distance is 57.9 million kilometres.
How many moons do the suns have?
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.
Are moons more like planets or more like the sun?
Planets cause they are not light emitters but reflectors
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 sun have any moons or rings?
A moon by definition has to orbit a planet - and the Sun is a star, not a planet. Also it has no rings.
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.
Does the sun have any moons?
no its doesnt have any moons. because its to hot for it but they consider the planets to be the suns moons
Does the sun haves moons?
The Sun has 8 major planets orbiting it, as well as asteroids, meteoroids and comets. However, it can never have a moon because moons are objects that orbit a planet, not a star, like the sun.
What characteristics do all moons share that are not shared by all planets?
All moons orbit around planets, whereas not all planets have moons. Moons are generally smaller in size compared to planets and lack an atmosphere. Moons also lack the ability to emit light on their own, unlike planets which may reflect light from the sun.
Are comets moons?
No. Comets are not moons as they orbit the sun, not planets.
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.
How are planets different from moon?
Planets circle the sun Moons cirle planets.
Are moons minor planets?
No. Minor planets still orbit the sun. Moons are considered natural satellites.
