What else can I help you with?
Do the moons orbit around the sun?
No, moons do not orbit the sun directly; they orbit planets. As planets revolve around the sun, their moons follow elliptical paths around them. This means that while moons are indirectly influenced by the sun's gravity through their parent planets, they are primarily in orbit around those planets.
Are the planets like moons to the sun?
The planets are satellites of the sun. The moons are satellites of the planets. The moons revolve around the planets captured by their gravity, while the planets revolve around the sun captured by its gravity and the sun.
Do moons and asteroids orbit the sun?
Asteroids orbit the sun. Moons orbit planets and planets orbit the sun. So you could say the moons orbit the sun. However, moons are kept in their orbits by the gravity of their planet and planets are kept in orbit by the gravity of the sun. So in that sense, moons do not orbit the sun.
Do moon orbits or circles the sun?
Moons orbit around its planet while the planets orbit the Sun, therefore moons circle the Sun.
What is a moon and how does it move around the solar system?
Moons are approximately spherical objects which orbit planets and are smaller than the planets that they orbit, although they are still relatively large objects (so an orbiting dust particle does not qualify as a moon). Since moons orbit planets, their motion around the solar system is controlled by the planets that they orbit; planets orbit the sun, and planets take their moons with them.
How many moons do the suns have?
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.

How is a moon different to a planet?
Planets are in direct orbit around the sun, while moons are in orbit around the planets.
Do moon orbits or circles the sun?
Moons orbit around its planet while the planets orbit the Sun, therefore moons circle the Sun.
Does any planet orbit Jupiter?
No, planets orbit around the sun. There are over 60 moons that orbit around Jupiter though.
Does the sun have a moon?
The sun has 8 or 9 major planets and thousands of smaller objects orbiting around it. Some of the planets have many moons. (eg Neptune has 13) It can have moons but so far all of the moons are to close to the planets to get caught in the sun's orbit.
Dose the sun have a moon?
All the planets orbiting the sun can be called moons of the sun
Does the sun have any moons or rings?
A moon by definition has to orbit a planet - and the Sun is a star, not a planet. Also it has no rings.
How the moon orbit the sun?
None. This is a trick question. Moons orbit PLANETS. Planets orbit the Sun.
Do planets and moons have stars?
On the contrary! A star has planets, which circulate it. And planets have moons. Stars do not circle planets.
