There is only one planet in the solar system that does not have a natural satellite or quasi-satellite. That planet is Mercury. When M.E.S.S.E.N.G.E.R, a spacecraft that went to visit Mercury, it detected a red shift but that signal turned out to be a binary star, 31 Crateris.

What is made of a central star around which various other non-star objects orbit?

A solar system.


Group of objects in space that move around a central star?

A solar system is a group of objects that orbit around a central star, such as planets, moons, asteroids, and comets. Our solar system, for example, includes the sun and all the celestial bodies that revolve around it.


Is a solar system made up of stars and objects that surround it?

Our solar system is made up of one star - the Sun - and everything held in orbit around it. Some distant stars have been determined to have planetary objects surrounding them, too, but there is still more unknown about those than known.


Does Sedna the planet orbit another star?

Sedna, like all objects in our Solar System orbit the Sun. The Sun and thus everything else, also orbit around the central core of our Galaxy - The Milky Way.


A star and all the objects that orbit it are?

A star and all the objects that orbit it are part of a solar system. The star is typically at the center of the system, and objects such as planets, moons, asteroids, and comets orbit around it due to its gravitational pull. These objects together form a dynamic and interconnected system.


What is a collection of large and small bodies that orbit your central star?

A collection of large and small bodies that orbit a central star is known as a solar system. This system typically includes planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and other celestial objects, all bound by gravitational forces. The central star, often a sun, provides the energy necessary for sustaining life on planets and influences the orbits of the surrounding bodies.


What are the large objects in space that orbit a star such as the sun?

The answer is planets.


What is the word meaning circle around due to gravity?

The word you're looking for is "orbit." Orbits are the paths that objects take as they are drawn in by gravity around a central body, such as planets orbiting around a star.


Objects that travel around the star?

Objects that travel around a star are typically planets, moons, asteroids, or comets. These objects orbit the star due to the gravitational pull from the star. The motion of these objects around the star is influenced by their mass, velocity, and the distance from the star.


What are the major bodies that orbit a star?

The major bodies that orbit a star like our Sun are planets, moons, asteroids, and comets. These objects are held in orbit by the star's gravitational pull and follow distinct paths around the star.


Is it true that a star with its orbiting planets is the solar system?

Yes, the solar system consists of a large central star (called the sun for our solar system), with planets that ore in orbit around it. There are other bodies in orbit around the sun also, such as minor planets, asteroids, comets, and other small objects.


What makes a solar system a solar system?

A star is all that's required. A solar system is made of at least one star, and the star has to be big enough to have gravity strong enough to bring other objects such as gas and rock and ice into it's orbit.
