What are Rocky and metallic objects that orbit the Sun but are too small to be considered planets are?
Rocky and metallic objects that orbit the Sun but are too small to be considered planets are asteroids and meteoroids. These objects can be found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, as well as in various other locations throughout our solar system.
What are solid objects that orbit the planets?
Solid objects that can orbit planets are called moons. Moons are natural satellites that orbit around planets in a similar way that planets orbit around stars. Moons can range in size from small rocky bodies to larger worlds with their own atmospheres.
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.
What is the name of objects that revolve around planets?
Objects that are in orbit around planets are commonly called satellites
Why are the planets considered satellites?
Planets are not considered satellites, but rather celestial bodies that orbit around stars, like our Sun. Satellites are objects that orbit larger celestial bodies, such as planets orbiting around stars or moons orbiting around planets.

The largest objects that orbit the sun are called?
The largest objects that orbit the sun are planets.
Why are the planets considered satellites to the sun?
Planets are not classified as satellites of the Sun. Satellites are objects that orbit planets, while planets orbit the Sun directly. Planets are considered celestial bodies that revolve around a star like the Sun.
What are objects that orbit planets?
satellites
How come planets orbit the sun but not others?
If you mean "why don't they orbit other objects in our Solar System", the Sun has most of the mass in our Solar System.
What is true about planets and asteroids?
Planets are large celestial bodies that orbit a star and have cleared their orbit of other objects, while asteroids are smaller rocky or metallic bodies that also orbit a star but have not cleared their orbit. Planets are typically round due to their gravitational pull, while asteroids can have irregular shapes.
What smaller objects orbit a planets?
Moons.

What is a path in which planets and other objects travel?
Orbit
