How do we know there is not another planet in Earth's orbit on the opposite side of the Sun?
Because Earth is not the only planet in the solar system. The gravity of the others would gradually affect such a planet, bringing it into view in no more than about 30 years. Also, it would have gravity of its own, and would have been discovered by the pull it exerted on the rest of the solar system, including Earth!
What else can I help you with?
Is it possible that another planet we haven't found is following earths orbit?
Not a planet of any significant size, which would be easy to see, but it is possible that some pieces of rock are in a similar orbit to the Earth at the five Lagrangian Points of the Earth's orbit.
How does the orbit of Neptune's moon Triton by Charon that of other satellites?
It is the only large moon in the Solar System with a retrograde orbit, which is an orbit in the opposite direction to its planet's rotation.
What planet has the most unusual and highly elliptical orbit which causes it to move inside another planet's orbit every 248 years?
You are thinking of Pluto. Pluto is now designated a minor planet.
Orbit so eccentric that it crosses the orbit of another planet?
A planet with an eccentric orbit that crosses the orbit of another planet would create gravitational interactions and potential collisions between the two planets. This scenario could lead to disturbances in their orbits, potentially causing erratic behavior and possible impacts between the planets.
Which outer planet swings inside the orbit of another planet periodically?
The orbits of Pluto and Neptune cross, so sometimes Pluto is inside Neptune's orbit.
The planet with the orbit closest to Earths orbit is?
Venus
What planets orbit is farthest from earths?
Neptune is the outermost planet, and is farthest from Earth's orbit.
Is it possible that another planet we haven't found is following earths orbit?
Not a planet of any significant size, which would be easy to see, but it is possible that some pieces of rock are in a similar orbit to the Earth at the five Lagrangian Points of the Earth's orbit.
Does earths mass determine its location in the solar system?
No. A planet's mass does not determine the position of its orbit.
What is counterclockwise spin of a planet or moon called?
The counterclockwise spin of a planet or moon is called retrograde rotation. This means the object is rotating in the opposite direction of its orbit around another body, like a planet rotating against the direction of its orbit around the sun.
What different about Pluto's orbit that the orbit in our other planet's solar system?
its orbit crosses with another plant
What is the path a planet takes to orbit another planet called?
We call that path the "orbit" of the orbiting body. Note: You would not ever see a planet orbiting another planet. At least, if you did, you would not call them both planets.
What is Something you can not keep up with?
Earths Orbit? Earths Orbit?
Why are Saturn's moons not planets?
A moon is an object that orbits a planet. A planet cannot orbit another planet.
How does the orbit of Neptune's moon Triton by Charon that of other satellites?
It is the only large moon in the Solar System with a retrograde orbit, which is an orbit in the opposite direction to its planet's rotation.
What planet has the most unusual and highly elliptical orbit which causes it to move inside another planet's orbit every 248 years?
You are thinking of Pluto. Pluto is now designated a minor planet.
What path of the orbit called?
An orbit is the path of a planet, star, or satellite through space around another object. The path the orbit is simply the orbit.
