What else can I help you with?
Is an orbit why a planet is a planet?
no because stars can orbit each other
Binary stars can be used to calculate the of stars?
Double stars, also called binary stars, are valuable to astronomers because they are the only stars of which astronomers can easily calculate their mass. They are bound to each other by gravity and orbit about a common center. The time it takes for one star to orbit the other depends on the distance between the two stars and their masses.
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.
Do constellations orbit planets and if they do what ones?
Constellations do not orbit planets. Constellations are apparent groupings of stars as seen from Earth, and they are fixed in their position relative to each other. They appear to move across the sky due to the Earth's rotation.
Why do astronomers find it difficult to locate extrasolar planets with telescopes-?
Light from the stars they orbit makes it difficult to see them.
Is an orbit why a planet is a planet?
no because stars can orbit each other
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.
What are the the path of a planet around the stars?
orbit
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.

What makes a planet be classified as a dwarf planet instead of a moon?
Moons orbit planets. Planets (and dwarf planets) orbit stars.
How can you determine if a celestial object is a star or a planet?
One way to determine if a celestial object is a star or a planet is by looking at its characteristics. Stars are typically much larger and hotter than planets, and they emit their own light. Planets, on the other hand, do not produce their own light and instead reflect light from a star. Additionally, planets orbit around stars, while stars do not orbit other objects. By observing these characteristics, astronomers can differentiate between stars and planets.
Which planet orbits the sun in 243 days?
Venus takes 243 days to spin on its axis relative to the background stars, while it takes 224.7 days to orbit the sun.
Which planet has a day that is almost as long as its year?
Venus - it takes 243 days to spin on its axis relative to the background stars, while it takes 224.7 days to orbit the sun.
Do planets or stars orbit Venus'?
No. Venus is a planet (in orbit around the Sun) with no natural satelites.
