Why are moons natural satellites to planets?
Satellites are objects placed in orbit by human enterprise. Moons are natural satellites because they orbit planets or other smaller celestial bodies, but are formed in some way out side our control. IE: collisions, captured dwarf planets, or created out of the same Protoplanetary Disk as it's primary.
How are planets and the moon alike?
Planets and moons are both celestial bodies that orbit around a star, usually a sun. Moons are natural satellites that orbit planets, while planets are larger bodies that orbit a star directly. Both planets and moons have different compositions and sizes, and they play important roles in shaping the gravitational environment of their respective systems.
What planet having three satellites sharing the same orbit?
Saturn has at least two natural satellites (moons) sharing the same orbit. There may be three altogether, but I only know of two.
How many times larger is earths cicumference than the moons circumference?
Their circumferences are in the same ratio as their diameters.
When a celestial body moves in an orbit around another celestial body?
Its means that if there is a planet, for example: Earth, The Earth is surrounded by the moon....so its actually means that a planet is surrounded by something else/A Planet
Is the moons orbit in the same 3d plane as earths orbit?
No. For one thing, a plane is, by definition, 2-dimensional. The moon's orbit is tilted about 5 degrees relative to Earth's orbit.
What would happen if the Moon's orbit were completely in the same place as the Earths orbit around the Sun?
Your question isn't very clear. The moon revolves around the earth so it essentially has the same orbit around the sun.
How does gravity affect the movement of the moons?
Earths gravity keeps the moon from flying off in the same way the sun keeps earth in balance.
Do Jupiter's moons stay in orbit around Jupiter in the same way that your moon orbits around earth?
yes and no there;s no answer
What fraction of the moons of the planets orbit in the same direction that their planets rotate?
Approximately 75% of the moons in our solar system orbit in the same direction that their planets rotate. This is known as prograde motion. Moons that orbit in the opposite direction are called retrograde.
What planet has three satellites sharing the same orbit?
I know Saturn has two moons in more or less the same orbit. I'm not sure about three moons though.
What are 3 distinctive characteristics of orbit of planet and moon in the solar system?
1). They orbit in the same around the sun, and as the sun. 2). Orbits of planets and their larger moons are in just about the same plane. 3). Almost all planets and moons rotate on their axes in the same direction as the planets orbit the sun.
Do all Saturn's moons orbit the same way?
yes
What would happen if the moons orbit were completely in the same plane as the earths orbit around the sun?
If the Moon's orbit were in the same plane as Earth's orbit around the Sun, we would experience a solar eclipse every month during the new moon phase as the Moon would pass directly between the Sun and Earth. This alignment would likely have a significant impact on Earth's tides and possibly cause more extreme weather patterns due to the gravitational influence of the Moon.
How does UK get four different seasons?
The same way every other place in the world does. Because of the inclination of rotation about the earths axis and the earths orbit around the sun.
How are moons and planets alike?
Most but not all larger MOONS (bodies that orbit planets, moons, or asteroids) accreted in the same way that PLANETS did, assuming a variable density and a nearly spherical shape. Very large moons such as Titan have many of the characteristics of planets: vulcanism, atmospheres, and weather. Generally speaking, moons orbit planets in the same way that planets orbit stars.
Does the Earth spin on its axis in the same or opposite direction as the moons orbit?
The direction of the Earth's spin and the direction of the Moon's orbit is the same - counterclockwise
