Why earth orbits the Sun not in a circle orbit?
To orbit in a precise circle, it would require a very specific speed. Any variation, and the orbit turns into an ellipse. If ever Earth's orbit WAS a circle, the tug from other planets in the Solar System, as well as any other object that happened to pass nearby, would change it to an ellipse.
Do planets share the same orbit?
No, planets do not share the same orbit. Each planet in our solar system travels along its own distinct path around the Sun. The varying distances and speeds of planets in their orbits prevent them from sharing the same orbit.
What planet floats?
Saturn because if you put it on a river big enough it would float.
What outer planet has a solid core?
I guess that would be Mars, which has an orbit outside the Earth's orbit. The first four planets have solid cores, while the four outer planets are gas giants.
Will Mars be as close as the moon?
We certainly hope not! If Mars were to be disturbed from its orbit to approach the Earth so closely, it would probably destroy the Earth as well. No, Mars will remain in its orbit and the Earth will remain in OUR orbit, and with any luck, the planets will never meet.
What kind of system would you have if all planets orbit the moon?
A Lunar System
Why does earth and all other planets orbit the sun?
Without the planets orbiting the sun all the planets would be cold and dark
What would happen if planets did not move in a fixed orbit?
If planets did not move in a fixed orbit, their paths would become unpredictable and chaotic. This would likely result in collisions between planets or ejections from the solar system. Ultimately, the stability of the entire solar system would be compromised.
Why earth orbits the Sun not in a circle orbit?
To orbit in a precise circle, it would require a very specific speed. Any variation, and the orbit turns into an ellipse. If ever Earth's orbit WAS a circle, the tug from other planets in the Solar System, as well as any other object that happened to pass nearby, would change it to an ellipse.
What are inner and outer planets What is the difference?
In our solar system; Inner planets are planets that have an orbit which lies within the asteroid belt. Outer planets are planets which have an orbit which lies outside the orbit of the asteroid belt. The asteroid belt lies between Mars and Jupiter. Therefore the inner planets would be in order away form the sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. The outer planets in the same order are; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
What would happen if the Sun orbits the Earth?
It would ruin the solar system and might destroy the other planets because they are in the way of the suns orbiting circle and all the planets would be floating in sapce all over the place or the sun and all the other planets will have to orbit the earth and it will become the earth system-dont think it's going to happen though
How does the sun affet the rest of the solar system?
The sun affects the rest of the solar system in many, many ways. The sun holds planets in orbit around itself, like the earth does with the moon. Without this gravitational pull, the planets would just spin off, out of orbit into the universe. Also, the sun heats all planets. For example, earth seasons are caused by the earth's tilt towards the sun. In short, the sun is what keeps this solar system grouped together.
Why cant earth called the natural satellite of moon?
The Earth doesn't orbit the Moon, and the Moon doesn't orbit the Earth; instead, both of them orbit their common center of mass, the "barycenter". The barycenter of the Earth-Moon system is INSIDE the Earth - so the Moon is a satellite of the Earth, not the other way around. If the barycenter of the Earth-Moon system were outside of the Earth, in space between them, then technically they would be "co-planets", not a planet and a moon.
Do all planets orbit the sun?
No, not all planets orbit the sun. In our own solar system, all eight classical planets orbit the sun, but there are other planetary systems in the universe where planets may orbit different types of stars or even roam freely without a star.
Why do all the planets orbit the sun?
Not all the planets orbit the sun - other stars have planets too. But all the planets in our solar system, which is the system of our sun, revolve around the sun; otherwise they would be in other solar systems. All the planets we can see with our naked eye orbit the sun, since the planets orbiting the sun are the only ones close enough to earth to see without a telescope.
How does the planet move all the way round and not earth?
around what? if its earth then it would rotate on its axis and and if ur talkin bout the revolution then if it is before earth (Venus, Mercury) then it wouldn't orbit around earth they would only orbit the sun and Venus would orbit mercury. and all of the planets after earth (Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, others) they would orbit the sun and all the planets before them. but all planets rotate on their axis but it may take shorter or longer time to rotate once than how long it takes for earth to rotate on its axis once.
Would the other planets in the solar system survive if the sun died?
If the sun remained in place, only stopped shining, not that much would actually happen. Planets would get colder, but they'd remain in their orbit. All surface Life on Earth would disappear.
