Is there a moon that doesn't orbit a planet?

Yes, there are moons that do not orbit planets but instead orbit other celestial bodies like asteroids or dwarf planets. For example, some moons of dwarf planets in the Kuiper Belt do not orbit a planet.


Do the stars or dwarf planets orbit planets?

No. Dwarf planets orbit stars just like planets do. Stars orbit the center of their galaxy. An object orbiting a planet would be a moon.


What is a moon and how does it move around the solar system?

Moons are approximately spherical objects which orbit planets and are smaller than the planets that they orbit, although they are still relatively large objects (so an orbiting dust particle does not qualify as a moon). Since moons orbit planets, their motion around the solar system is controlled by the planets that they orbit; planets orbit the sun, and planets take their moons with them.


How is moon different than a planet?

The Moon is Earth's natural satellite, orbiting around our planet, while a planet is a celestial body that orbits a star. Moons do not emit their own light but rather reflect the light of the star they orbit, while planets do not orbit other astronomical bodies but instead orbit stars. Additionally, planets are larger than moons and can be composed of a variety of materials.


Are the sun and moon planets?

No, the sun and moon are not planets. The sun is a star that emits light and heat, while the moon is Earth's natural satellite. Planets are celestial bodies that orbit stars, like Earth does with the sun.

Why do the moon and earth do not bump each other?

because the moon has an orbit that goes around the earth which is a path that the moon takes so it will not bump into any other planets
