As far as I know, no planets have yet been detected around Canopus. You may be aware that Frank Herbert placed his fictional desert planet Arrakis as the third planet of the star, however.

In which constellation will you find the bright star?

There are several bright stars. Planets move around the Ecliptic, covering 13 constellations or so. Note that planets look like stars, but are not currently considered stars. Also note that some of the planets look brighter (to us) than any real star. Other than planets, the brightest stars are the Sun (also changes through the constellations of the Ecliptic), Sirius (Canis Major), Canopus (Carina), and Toliman (Centaurus).


How many planets does Earth's moon have?

Earth's Moon has no planets, unless you consider Earth to be the Moon's planet.   A planet is defined as an object revolving around the Sun that is large enough to form itself into a sphere from the force of gravity, and yet not be so large as to create fusion like the Sun.  It also must clear its orbit of other dust and debris.  A moon, on the other hand, is an object that revolves around a planet.


Why are the planets considered satellites?

Planets are not considered satellites, but rather celestial bodies that orbit around stars, like our Sun. Satellites are objects that orbit larger celestial bodies, such as planets orbiting around stars or moons orbiting around planets.


What planets does the sun rotate around?

The Sun does Not rotate around planets; Planets rotate around the Sun. Planets that include: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Also Dwarf Planet Pluto rotates around the Sun.


What planets does Mars revolve around?

Mars does not revolve around any planets, it is a planet in its own right. If it did, it would be called a moon. It orbits the sun directly.

What is is a solar system?

A solar system is a collection of objects that orbit a star or group of stars. In most solar systems, a central star (or stars, like a binary pair for instance) provides the mass to keep the system in place, and also the light and heat for the smaller planets, moons, asteroids, and comets that are orbiting. The Sun together with the group of celestial bodies that are held by its attraction and revolve around it, or a group of celestial bodies revolving around any star.The solar system is our planets, revolving around a solar power (sun). We kind of depend on each other.The sun and everything that orbits it ( asteriods , planets , comets , etc. )It is the biggest system which comprises of planets revolving and rotating in their orbit, where sun is at the center n other planets like Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars etc, rotates around sun in an elliptical orbit. Till date there is only one solar system known n seen, but it is estimated that there would be many such solar system in whole universe.!!


Why sun is not revolving around the any object in universe?

In what solar system do the planets travel around the sun?

In any solar system; that's what planets do.


Is the universe revolving around itself or expanding?

It is expanding, and at an ever increasing rate according to current understanding. Whether or not it is revolving is problematic, since there is no background object against which any revolution can be observed.

Are there any two planets in the universe which have same inclination when revolving around their suns?

As we have yet to determine the characteristics of every planet in the Universe, or even small details like inclination, the answer is, at the moment, no. However, given the amount of possible planets in the Universe - upwards of 10 sextillion, the chances are VERY high. Guess it would depend on what degree of accuracy you require.


What planet do all the planets evolve around?

I am not familiar with planets evolving around any singular planet. If you are referring to orbit, the planets orbit the sun, a star, not a planet, in our solar system. Some planets have moons in their orbit.
