What else can I help you with?
Do small planets orbit slowly?
It dose not matter how small the planet is, what makes them orbit slower is how far away the planet is from the sun.
What are solid objects that orbit the planets?
Solid objects that can orbit planets are called moons. Moons are natural satellites that orbit around planets in a similar way that planets orbit around stars. Moons can range in size from small rocky bodies to larger worlds with their own atmospheres.
What the asteroids are larger or smaller than planets?
Planets are generally larger than asteroids. Asteroids are small rocky bodies that orbit the Sun, while planets are larger celestial objects that have cleared their orbit of other debris. Some asteroids can be quite large, but they are still dwarfed by the size of planets.
How are the inner planets similar to dwarf planets?
Inner planets and dwarf planets are similar in that they both orbit around the sun, have a solid surface, and are relatively small compared to gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn. However, inner planets typically have a more defined orbit and are part of the traditional eight planets in our solar system, while dwarf planets are smaller bodies that have not cleared their orbits of other debris and therefore have a different classification.
What are Rocky and metallic objects that orbit the Sun but are too small to be considered planets are?
Rocky and metallic objects that orbit the Sun but are too small to be considered planets are asteroids and meteoroids. These objects can be found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, as well as in various other locations throughout our solar system.
Are there any exceptions to the rule that planets rotate with small axis tilts and in the same direction that they orbit the Sun?
Yes, Venus rotates in the opposite direction to most other planets, a phenomenon known as retrograde rotation. Uranus rotates on its side, with an axis tilt of about 98 degrees. These are exceptions to the general rule that planets rotate with small axis tilts and in the same direction as their orbit around the Sun.
What planets orbit mars?
Mars has two small moons named Phobos and Deimos, but no planets orbit it.
What gives planets an orbit?
the gravitational pull from the sun keeps the planets and other small things in the orbit of the sun.(;
How is clockwise the backwards motion of a planet?
'Counter-clockwise' requires a reference point such that we can determine which side of the galactic plane one is on to look at the direction of spin. That said, the planets do all orbit in the same direction. Additionally, Venus, Uranus and the Plutoid all spin in different directions than the other planets, which spin the same way as their orbits. Venus spins in the exact opposite direction (retrograde), Uranus has its axis of spin on the galactic plane, and the Plutoid's axis is inclined 123 degrees to its plane of orbit, making its spin retrograde as well.
Do small planets orbit slowly?
It dose not matter how small the planet is, what makes them orbit slower is how far away the planet is from the sun.
What is a small revolves around the sun?
All the planets orbit the sun, they are comparatively small.
What are solid objects that orbit the planets?
Solid objects that can orbit planets are called moons. Moons are natural satellites that orbit around planets in a similar way that planets orbit around stars. Moons can range in size from small rocky bodies to larger worlds with their own atmospheres.
Is the moon and sun a planet?
Neither the Sun nor the Moon are planets. Planets rotate around the Sun. Moons rotate around planets. There are other rules to explain the difference between planets and asteroids and comets which also rotate around the sun. Such as planets because of their strong gravitational field, clear objects in their rotation around the Sun, something a small asteroid, nor a small comet can do. However, neither the Sun (which planets rotate around), nor, the Moon (which rotates around the planet Earth), is a planet.
What direction does a small block Chevy crankshft rotate?
From the front, clockwise.
What name do you give to the geometric plane where the 8 planets orbit the Sun?
The planets don't all orbit the Sun in EXACTLY the same plane - there are small variations. The plane where Earth orbits is called the Ecliptic; other planets orbit fairly close to that same plane.
Are asteroids small planets?
Asteriods are chunks of rock that escaped the asteroid belts orbit.
What are small bodies that orbit planets?
Satellites Moons Asteroids depending on the nature of the question
