There is no reason why any number of bodies can't exist in orbits that exactly coincide with the earth's orbit. Since the process of planetary formation is completely random, however, the odds are against it, and no other body has ever been discovered sharing the earth's orbit.
What else can I help you with?
What are natural or artifial bodies that orbit larger celestial bodies such as planets?
These are called satellites. A lot of planets have natural satellites called moons, which are in orbit around the planet. An artificial satellite is one that is put there by man, it orbits the planet in a similar way.
Why are other planets there in the solar system?
Other planets other than earth is put in the solar system for humans to explore and do researches on them.
How Kepler's assumptions about orbits different to Copernicus?
Nicholas Copernicus 1473-1543 was a Polish priest and astronomer who created an alternative model of the planets which put the Sun at the centre, instead of the Earth as generally accepted at that time.He knew it would get him into trouble with the church, and his book 'De Revolutionibus' was not published until the year he died. The theory with the Sun at the centre was similar to the old Ptolemaic system with its collection of circles and epicycles allowing for the changes in distance and the changes in planets' speeds, and their departure from the ecliptic.In the late 1500s Tycho Brahe made new more accurate observations of the planets from Denmark, and these were used by Johannes Kepler to produce a new model published in 1609.Kepler's model is the one we use today, and it has the Sun at the centre, like the Copernican model, but all the other details of Copernicus's theory were rejected in favour of elliptical orbits.
Is Jupiter more massive than all the other planets put together?
Yes. Jupiters mass is around 1.8986 x 1027 kg, while all seven other planets' mass combined is 7.7 x 1026 kg.
How have pictures of our solar system confused our understanding of the systems scale?
In order to put pictures of the planets on a diagram of the solar system it is necessary to use a different scale for the size of the planets and the radii of their orbits. If you used the same scale, the planets would be impossible to see, or the paper would have to be enormously big. For instance, the radius of Mercury is 2440 km, and it is about 46 million km from the Sun at perihelion, which is nearly 19,000 times as big. The diagrams subtly make us forget the sheer distances between the planets.

Other planets other than earth is put in the solar system for humans to explore and do researches on them.
How do you put interplanetary in a sentence?
it mean inside the planet No, it means 'within the orbits of the planets' as in 'interplenetary travel' - travelling between planets. Well Google says it means "In or between planets;"interplanetary travel"

What is the background research Pluto is not a planet?
When a few dwarf planets had been discovered, it was found they have orbits which are significantly more elliptical and/or more highly inclined to the ecliptic than the eight main planets. Pluto had more in common with the new discoveries so a new class of dwarf planets was started, and Pluto was put into it.
Which planet has more mass than the other planets combined?
Jupiter has more mass than all the other planets in our solar system combined. It is the largest planet and contains more than twice the mass of all the other planets put together.
Why are the planets considered satellites of sun?
Any body that orbits (goes round) another body is called a satellite of that body. Therefore the Moon is a satellite of the Earth and by definition all the Planets are satellites of the Sun. The term 'satellite' is also used to describe man made devices which have been put into orbit round the Earth - however when we make these go round the Sun or other planets we tend to call them 'probes' in this instance.👍
Is Jupiter the largest planet in our solar system?
Yes; bigger than all the other planets put together.
How could you put minerals in a sentence?
There are many minerals in the world and on other planets too (gold, diamonds, sulfur
What is a satellite that orbits the earth?
If by satellite you mean an object that orbits the earth, then the Moon is a satellite of the earth. There are thousands of other satellites put into orbit by both private and public organizations used for everything from GPS to communication and even you TV service.
Is Jupiter really the largest planet in our solar system?
Yes; bigger than all the other planets put together.
Is Jupiter more massive than all the other planets put together?
Yes. Jupiters mass is around 1.8986 x 1027 kg, while all seven other planets' mass combined is 7.7 x 1026 kg.
