The number of planets that orbit a star can vary widely. In our solar system, there are eight planets orbiting the Sun. However, many other stars in the universe have been found to host multiple planets, with some systems containing as many as seven or more. Overall, discoveries from exoplanet research suggest that most stars may have at least one planet orbiting them.

When planets orbit a star?
When don't they? If a planet is in orbit around a star, it is in continual orbit. Orbital periods (the lengths of time it takes different planets to complete one orbit) are different from planet to planet, and are related to the distances between the planets and their stars.
Do the star planets orbit around the sun?
I'm not sure what you mean by "Star planets." However, I can tell you that there are 8 known planets that orbit the star Sol, including Earth (Sol 3).
What do all the planets orbit around?
All the planets in OUR solar system orbit around the sun(which is a star). Planets in other solar systems orbit around other stars.
What are the large objects in space that orbit a star such as the sun?
The answer is planets.
What do you call a path a planet follows as it travels around the sun?
U answer
Planets orbit a star?
Yes, planets orbit a star due to the gravitational pull of the star. This gravitational force keeps the planets in motion around the star in a regular pattern. The orbiting motion of planets around a star is essential for maintaining the stability and balance of a planetary system.
What are the satellite planets?
By definition planets orbit a star and satellites orbit a planet. Therefore there are no satellite planets.
Could a star orbit a planet larger then itself?
well for starters, stars don't orbit planets. Planets orbit stars, but some stars don't have planets that orbit them.
What are the major bodies that orbit a star?
The major bodies that orbit a star like our Sun are planets, moons, asteroids, and comets. These objects are held in orbit by the star's gravitational pull and follow distinct paths around the star.
Why are moons and planets different?
Planets are bodies that orbit a central star (in our case, the Sun), and moons are smaller bodies that orbit planets.
When do planets orbit a star?

What orbits a star and reflects the stars light?
Many planets around each star reflect the star's light. For example think about Earth's orbit around the sun, a big star
Does the star orbit the sun and the planet doesnt?
The sun is a star. And planets within its gravitational reach orbit it.

All the planets in OUR solar system orbit around the sun(which is a star). Planets in other solar systems orbit around other stars.
Why is sun not in the category of planets?
Because the sun is actually a star. Planets by definition Orbit a star. The sun does not orbit anything and is a huge ball of mainly Hydrogen and Helium.
