What forces act to hold a planet in orbit around the sun?
The gravitational force between the planet and the sun is what holds the planet in orbit around the sun. This force keeps the planet moving in a curved path around the sun, in balance with the planet's inertia.
Is an orbit why a planet is a planet?
no because stars can orbit each other
What planet is the closet orbit?
Venus is the planet with the closest orbit to that of Earth.
How do the orbit of planets differ from the orbit of moons?
A planet orbits a star. A moon orbits a planet or dwarf planet.
What is the planet with an orbit that intersects the orbit of the dwarf planet Pluto?
The planet with an orbit that intersects the orbit of the dwarf planet Pluto is Neptune. Neptune, the eighth and farthest known planet from the Sun in the Solar System, has an orbit that crosses Pluto's orbit due to its elliptical path around the Sun. This orbital relationship between Neptune and Pluto is one of the factors that led to Pluto's reclassification as a dwarf planet in 2006 by the International Astronomical Union.

What planet do comets orbit?
Comets don't orbit a planet, they orbit the sun.
Does Venus orbit a planet?
No, Venus does not orbit a planet. It orbits a star, which is our Sun. It can not orbit a planet , if it did it would be a moon
Does smaller planet orbit bigger planet or does bigger planet orbit smaller planet?
Planets orbit stars, not other planets. A planet-like object that orbits a planet is a moon.
Which planet has the smallest orbit and the largest orbit?
The plane with the smallest orbit is Mercury, and the planet with the largest orbit is Neptune.
Is an orbit why a planet is a planet?
no because stars can orbit each other
The planet that has an orbit that intersects the orbit of the dwarf planet Pluto?
Neptune.
What is the shape of a planet's orbit and what does it contribute?
The shape of a planet's orbit is elliptical.
What hold the planet in orbit around the sun?
The planets orbit the Sun because of the force of gravity that keeps them there. Without gravity they would all move in straight lines.
What planet is the closet orbit?
Venus is the planet with the closest orbit to that of Earth.
Which planet does not directly orbit moon?
Every planet does not directly orbit the Moon.
Does mars have enough gravity to stay still?
The gravity of a planet does not hold it in place, nor does any planet stay still. The planets are in constant motion as they orbit the sun.
