What else can I help you with?
Are comets moons?
No. Comets are not moons as they orbit the sun, not planets.
What orbits around the sun and the objects?
Planets, dwarf planets, asteroids, and comets all orbit around the sun in our solar system. Moons also orbit around planets and some dwarf planets in the solar system.
Which objects in the solar system orbit directly around the sun and which don't?
The planets,asteroids,and comets. There is nothing that doesn't orbit the sun.
How is a comet's orbit different from the moon or planets?
Comets have highly eccentric orbits, meaning they can be much more elongated and elongated than those of planets or the moon. Comets often spend most of their time in the outer solar system beyond the orbit of Neptune and only pass through the inner solar system when they approach the Sun. This results in comets having much longer orbital periods compared to planets or the moon. Additionally, comets can have orbital inclinations that are significantly different from the plane of the solar system where most planets and the moon orbit.
Do comets orbit around the sun just like planets?
Yes, they do. But their orbits are highly eccentric. That means that their orbit first takes them very close to the Sun and then very far away, making the orbit very elongated. Also, all the planets orbit the Sun in more-or-less the same plane. ie, All the orbits are in line (Picture a disc). The orbit of most comets, on the other hand, are not in the same plane. Check the images in the related links for a better idea on their orbits.
How do the orbits of comets differ from the orbits of most asteroids?
Comets are balls of ice and dust in orbit around the Sun. The orbits of comets are different from those of planets - they are elliptical. A comet's orbit takes it very close to the Sun and then far away again.
What has a larger orbit comets or planets?
Comets.
What does the sun's gravitational pull keep in orbit?
Planets, asteroids, meteors, comets, moons (which are also in orbit around their respective planets), dust particles, interplanetary gas.
Does planet mercury have comets?
comets crash into all planets!Planets don't have comets. Planets have moons. Comets orbit the sun
What are the differences between planets and comets?
Comets are small solar system bodies that orbit around the Sun. They are not planets because NASA said so.
Are comets moons?
No. Comets are not moons as they orbit the sun, not planets.
All comets orbit the Sun in the same direction as the planets?
False. While most comets orbit the Sun in the same direction as the planets (counterclockwise when viewed from above Earth's North Pole), there are exceptions. Some comets have retrograde orbits, meaning they orbit in the opposite direction of the planets.
Which celestial bodies orbit the Sun?
the asteroid belt, the kuiper belt, and the oort cloud.
What orbits around the sun and the objects?
Planets, dwarf planets, asteroids, and comets all orbit around the sun in our solar system. Moons also orbit around planets and some dwarf planets in the solar system.
Which objects in the solar system orbit directly around the sun and which don't?
The planets,asteroids,and comets. There is nothing that doesn't orbit the sun.
What orbit the Sun like planets do?
Asteroids, Comets
Paths in which objects travel around the sun?
Objects in our solar system, including planets, asteroids, and comets, travel around the Sun in elliptical orbits. The planets orbit the Sun in nearly circular paths along a plane known as the ecliptic. Comets and asteroids can have more eccentric and tilted orbits compared to the planets.
