What else can I help you with?
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.
Orbit so eccentric that it crosses the orbit of another planet?
A planet with an eccentric orbit that crosses the orbit of another planet would create gravitational interactions and potential collisions between the two planets. This scenario could lead to disturbances in their orbits, potentially causing erratic behavior and possible impacts between the planets.
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 is the shape of the path of a planet around the sun called?
An eliptical orbit. In theory a planet could also have a circular orbit, but no planet that we know of has a perfectly circular orbit, although some have a nearly circular orbit.
Which technique could detect a planet in an orbit that is faced on to the earth?
astrometry
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
How does the magnitude of the velocity affect a planet's orbit?
The magnitude of a planet's velocity affects the shape and size of its orbit. A higher velocity can cause a planet to move in a more elongated elliptical orbit, while a lower velocity can result in a more circular orbit. The velocity also influences the planet's escape velocity, which determines if it can break free from its orbit.
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.
Could a star orbit a planet larger then itself?
well for starters, stars don't orbit planets. Planets orbit stars, but some stars don't have planets that orbit them.
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 planet is the closet orbit?
Venus is the planet with the closest orbit to that of Earth.
