They don't specifically orbit the black hole. Stars orbit the Milky Way because in general, they are attracted to the other masses in the Milky Way. The supermassive black hole is only a tiny fraction of the total mass of the Milky Way. Well, you might say that they move around the black hole, but that's only because it happens to be there. Without they black hole, they would move around the center of the Milky Way anyway.

What did people think that the planets and stars orbit around?

around Earth!


What stars orbit the sun?

No stars orbit the Sun. The Sun is a star itself, and it is at the center of our solar system, with planets such as Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars orbiting around it.


Do the stars orbit earth?

NO!!


Can our earth orbit other stars like pollux aldabaran ancturus betegulese and other?

No, Earth is specifically bound to its orbit around the Sun due to the gravitational pull between the two. The distances to other stars like Pollux, Aldebaran, Arcturus, and Betelgeuse are far too vast for Earth to establish an orbit around them. Earth's orbit is stable around the Sun within our own solar system.


What stars travel around mars?

No stars travel around Mars. Stars are distant celestial bodies that appear fixed in the sky due to their immense distance from our solar system. Mars, like Earth, revolves around the sun in its orbit.


How do stars in the galactic halo orbit?

They orbit as stars would in any other halo. It is gravity that causes everything to orbit and "spin around" Stars can also orbit around other stars called a binary orbit.


Why do stars change position?

Stars appear to change position in the night sky due to Earth's rotation. As the Earth moves, different stars come into view while others become hidden below the horizon. This apparent motion is also influenced by the Earth's orbit around the Sun, causing the stars to shift gradually over time.


Do any stars orbit the earth?

NO!!


Can planets and stars orbit around the sun?

Planets orbit the sun. Stars do not.


Do the stars orbit the planets or do planets orbit stars?

Moons orbit planets. Planets orbit stars. Some stars orbit other stars, or orbit their mutual center of gravity. Stars orbit the center of the galaxy. Galaxies may orbit the center of the "galactic group".


How many stars orbit the moon?

None. Stars do not orbit the moon. They are murch farther away and much larger than the moon is.


What is a real world example of an ellipse?

A real-world example of an ellipse is the orbit of any object around another, when it is bound by gravitation - the Earth around the Sun, the Moon around the Earth, two stars in a double-star system (around their center of mass), etc.A real-world example of an ellipse is the orbit of any object around another, when it is bound by gravitation - the Earth around the Sun, the Moon around the Earth, two stars in a double-star system (around their center of mass), etc.A real-world example of an ellipse is the orbit of any object around another, when it is bound by gravitation - the Earth around the Sun, the Moon around the Earth, two stars in a double-star system (around their center of mass), etc.A real-world example of an ellipse is the orbit of any object around another, when it is bound by gravitation - the Earth around the Sun, the Moon around the Earth, two stars in a double-star system (around their center of mass), etc.
