What suggested that the sun and moon orbited earth and the rest of the planets orbited the sun?
The geocentric model, proposed by ancient astronomers like Ptolemy, suggested that the sun and moon orbited the Earth, while the planets revolved around the sun. However, observations by astronomers such as Copernicus, Galileo, and Kepler provided evidence for the heliocentric model, where planets, including Earth, orbit the sun. Galileo's telescopic observations, like the phases of Venus and the moons of Jupiter, supported this shift in understanding, demonstrating that not everything orbited the Earth. Kepler's laws of planetary motion further solidified the heliocentric model by explaining the elliptical orbits of planets around the sun.
How many months does it take for THE MOON to orbit the sun?
Well, last time I checked, the moon orbited the earth, not the sun. You might , however, argue, that it orbits the sun TOGETHER with earth, then it would take a year to make a full circle around it.
What orbits stars?
Stars orbit the center of their galaxy due to gravity. In our solar system, planets orbit around the Sun in elliptical orbits. Additionally, binary star systems have stars that orbit around each other.
What is the orbit of the extreme ultraviolet explorer?
On average, EUVE orbits about 93 miles above the Earth.
What type of star is Alnitak?
Alnitak is a very interesting star, because it is not one, but three stars. The main star, Alnitak Aa, is a type 09.5 blue supergiant that is orbited at 11 Astronomical Units (roughly the distance at which Saturn orbits the Sun) by a type O blue dwarf that astronomers call Alnitak Ab. This binary star system is orbited at 680 AUs (roughly the distance of the inner Ort Cloud from the Sun) by the bluish-white type B0 Alnitak B.
What would Saturn's orbit be if it orbited 96 percent closer to the sun than it does?
If Saturn orbited 96% closer to the Sun than it does now, it would orbit at 35,352,000 miles (56,893,529 km), about where Mercury orbits.
Who was the first American to orbit the sun?
No human has ever orbited the sun, unless you count living on planet Earth as it orbits the sun.
What is the verb form of orbit?
The verb form of "orbit" is "to orbit." For example, "the satellite orbits around the Earth."
What is a nuecleus orbited by?
A nucleus is orbited by electrons in an atom. Electrons are negatively charged particles that move around the positively charged nucleus in specific energy levels or orbits. The interaction between the electrons and the nucleus holds the atom together.
Does Ceres revolve around another planet?
No. If Ceres orbited a planet it would be a moon. It orbits the sun, so it is classified as a dwarf planet.

The greatest common factor of 51 and 18 is the number of times John Glenn orbited the earth How many orbits did Glenn make?
3 times, because 3 goes into 18 and 51.
How many times has your solar system orbited the center of the galaxy since planet Earth was formed?
Earth orbits the galatic core once every 230 million years.
Is orbit a noun?
Yes, the word 'orbit' is both a noun (orbit, orbits) and a verb (orbit, orbits, orbiting, orbited).Examples:How many miles is the Earth's orbit around the Sun? (noun)The Earth travels 584 million miles to orbit the Sun. (verb)
