No celestial body controls the movement of the planets; gravity does. The sun serves as the center of Earth's solar system and provides the greatest gravitational force. This causes the other planets to revolve around the sun. Planets' distances from the sun affect their speed. For instance, Jupiter, which is about 5 times farther from the sun than the Earth is, takes far longer than a year to circle the sun not only because it is farther, but also because the distance weakens gravity and causes it to go slower because it is trying to move out of the Sun's pull.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Study of position and movement of stars and other celestial body?

What is a planets movement?
Orbit around another body, rotation around its axis.
What are the qualifications for a celestial body to be considered as a planet?
To be classified as a planet, a celestial body must meet three main criteria: it must orbit the Sun, be spherical in shape due to its own gravity, and have cleared its orbit of other debris. This definition excludes bodies like dwarf planets, which do not clear their orbits. The International Astronomical Union (IAU) established these criteria in 2006 to provide a clear distinction between planets and other celestial objects.
How is a moon different from a planet or a dwarf planet?
What makes a moon a moon is the fact that it is smaller than the object it is orbiting, and is orbiting the object (the planet) constantly.The definition of a moon is "a natural satellite revolving around a planet". Since a satellite is an object that orbits a bigger object, usually a planet, and is not a planet due to its small size, it is considered a moon and not another planet.
How do you define a celestial body?
A celestial body is any physical body beyond the earth's atmosphere.
What causes the spinning movement of a celestial body around its own axis?
The spinning movement of a celestial body around its own axis is caused by its initial rotation and angular momentum.
Where can you find a celestial body?
Look up into the sky. Stars, planets, comets, asteroids, galaxies, etc., are celestial bodies.
What body system senses pain and controls movement?
The nervous system senses pain and controls movement.
What controls movement of body parts?
the brain
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.

Which celestial body has the fastest movement in our solar system?
The planet Mercury has the fastest movement in our solar system.
Why does the Sun keep all of the planets orbiting?
As the sun is the biggest celestial body in our solar system, so it has the most gravitational pull and therefore the planets n other celestial bodies revolve around the sun.
Which body system controls the movement of the ribs in breathing?
The nervous system controls the movement of the ribs during breathing. The movement is performed by the musculoskeletal system.
When was celestial body discovered?
Celestial body is only a general name for an object in the sky, particlarly applied to the night sky (but including the Sun). The moon, stars, planets, etc., are considered celestial bodies. Most of them were identified by the ancients; in modern times the more distant planets from Earth were discovered by use of more powerful telescopes.
What is the meaning of luminaries?
Refers to an object, such as a celestial body, that gives light. b. In astrology, one of the brightest celestial objects, such as the sun, moon, or bright planets.
