What planet has the second shortest orbit?

Mercury has the second shortest orbit of all the planets in our solar system, taking about 88 Earth days to complete one revolution around the Sun. However, if you meant the planet with the second shortest orbital period after the Moon's natural orbit, then Venus takes about 225 Earth days to orbit the Sun, making it the second shortest among the eight planets.


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.


Can the moon orbit dwarf planets?

Yes, moons can orbit dwarf planets, as long as the gravitational forces are sufficient to maintain a stable orbit. For example, some dwarf planets, like Pluto, have moons; Charon is the most notable moon of Pluto. The dynamics of the system depend on the mass of the dwarf planet and the distance of the moon from it. Thus, it is entirely feasible for a moon to orbit a dwarf planet.

No planets are in orbit around the moon


Do all planets orbit the moon?

No. The planets orbit the sun.


How do moons orbit the planets?

the planets do not orbit the moon but the moon orbits the planets because of gravity and inertia


How the moon orbit the sun?

None. This is a trick question. Moons orbit PLANETS. Planets orbit the Sun.


Does the moon revolve round the planets?

Moons orbit planets Or rather moons and planets orbit their barycenter.


How many days does the sun take to orbt the moon?

The sun doesn't orbit anything, the planets orbit the sun, and our moon orbits us. It takes 24 hours forthe moon to orbit us once and 365 days for the earth to orbit the sun once


Does the moon orbit Jupiter?

Not our (the Earth's) moon but Jupiter has lots of its own moons that orbit it.


How many days moons take to round of the earth?

Our moon requires 27.3 days to orbit the earth. No other moon orbits our earth--they orbit other planets.


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


How is a moon different from a planet?

Planets orbit stars, moons orbit planets. That is the only difference.
