All of the planets in our solar system follow elliptical orbits around the Sun due to the gravitational force it exerts on them. This motion is described by Kepler's laws of planetary motion, which state that planets move in orbits that are not perfect circles but rather elongated shapes. Additionally, the gravitational interactions between the Sun and the planets help maintain their orbits, ensuring they remain stable over long periods.

Which group of planets is known as the extraterrestrial planets?

I think you mean extrasolar planets. Technically, all planets except Earth are "extraterrestrial." At last report there were almost 900 of them, with more to follow. They aren't a "group" in the usual sense, just a category.

What are all the common facts that all the planets have?

All planets in our solar system orbit the Sun, follow elliptical paths, and have varying compositions, including rocky or gaseous structures. They rotate on their axes and have differing lengths of days and years. Most planets possess atmospheres, though their density and composition vary widely. Additionally, many planets have natural satellites or moons that orbit them.


Do all the planets have a predictable path?

Yes, all planets follow predictable paths in their orbits around the Sun. These paths are determined by their gravitational interactions with the Sun and other celestial bodies, following Kepler's laws of planetary motion.


What will happen if the planets do not follow their orbits?

If a planet doesn't follow its orbital path, then it may crash into other planets, moons and/or other object floating around in space.
