What does the size of the orbit of a planet depend on?

The size of a planet's orbit depends on its distance from the star it is orbiting. Planets farther away from the star have larger orbits, while planets closer to the star have smaller orbits. The gravitational pull between the planet and the star also influences the size of the orbit.


What is a system in which moons orbit a star?

Moons don't orbit stars; they orbit planets. If it's a moon, then it orbits a planet. If it orbits a star, then it isn't a moon, it's a planet.


What is the orbit of a planet called?

The motion of the planets are elliptical motions


When planets orbit a star?

When don't they? If a planet is in orbit around a star, it is in continual orbit. Orbital periods (the lengths of time it takes different planets to complete one orbit) are different from planet to planet, and are related to the distances between the planets and their stars.
