What body in space orbits a star and is smaller than a planet?
An asteroid is a small body in space that orbits a star, like our Sun, and is smaller than a planet. Asteroids are commonly found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, but they can also exist in other regions of our solar system.
Spherical body that orbits the sun?
PLANET
What is a body that orbits planet?
It's a satellite of the planet.
What is nearest to the Sun?
The closest known orbiting body to the Sun is the planet Mercury. Smaller bodies passing closer would likely have unstable orbits.
What is the difference from an asteroid to a dwarf planet?
A dwarf planet is a body that orbits the sun - is often beyond the orbit of Jupiter and is classified below a planet. An asteroid is a body that orbits the sun within the asteroid belt.
What body in space orbits a star and is smaller than a planet?
An asteroid is a small body in space that orbits a star, like our Sun, and is smaller than a planet. Asteroids are commonly found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, but they can also exist in other regions of our solar system.
Can a moon be bigger than the planet it orbits?
No. The moon is always the smaller body in such a system. The smaller object will always be the one doing the orbiting.
What is the name of the small body of the moon that orbits a planet?
The small body of the moon that orbits a planet is called a satellite.
Spherical body that orbits the sun?
PLANET
What is a body that orbits planet?
It's a satellite of the planet.
What is a difference between a satellite and a planet?
A planet revolves around a star, and is bigger in mass than the planetoid Pluto; that is, nearly the mass of Mercury or larger. A satellite revolves around a planet, and is smaller than the planet.
What is a sphericals body that orbits the sun?
It can be a planet.
What is the difference between the moon and a satellite?
The moon is a natural celestial body that orbits a planet, such as Earth's moon. A satellite, on the other hand, is an artificial object that is launched into space to orbit a planet or celestial body for various purposes, such as communication or observation.
What is the difference between a planetary object and a moon?
A planetary object is a body that orbits a star (like a planet or a dwarf planet), whereas a moon is a natural satellite that orbits a planetary object. Moons are smaller bodies that orbit planets or dwarf planets.
What is the path of one body around another in space called?
The path of one body around another in space is called an orbit. It is the trajectory that a smaller body, such as a planet or moon, follows around a larger body, such as a star or planet, due to gravitational attraction. Orbits can be elliptical, circular, or even parabolic depending on the velocities involved.
The moon a plant yes or no?
not a planet so much but more of the elements on that planet. The earths moon gravity creates the tide
Do some planets on the solar system do not orbit the sun?
By definition, a planet is a celestial body that orbits a star (the sun) directly. A satellite is an object in space that orbits a planet. Mercury, which is comparable in size to our Moon, orbits the sun. Therefore, Mercury is a planet. Our Moon is a satellite of Earth. If it had its own path around the sun, we wouldn't have a moon and it would be considered a planet.
