The planets have been orbiting the Sun for a very long time. However, Neptune has the longest year, about 165 Earth-years long, and since it was only discovered in 1846, 166 Earth-years ago, it has only made one orbit since it was discovered.

What is the word for a complete orbit made by earth around the sun?

The word for a complete orbit made by Earth around the Sun is a "year." It takes approximately 365.25 days for Earth to complete this orbit, which is why we have a leap year every four years to account for the extra quarter day. This orbit is also referred to as an "elliptical orbit" due to its oval shape.


Are man made satellites held in orbit by the gravitational pull if a planet?

Yes, man-made satellites are held in orbit by the gravitational pull of a planet, such as Earth. The balance between the gravitational force pulling the satellite toward the planet and the satellite's inertia, which tries to move it in a straight line, creates a stable orbit. This interplay allows satellites to maintain their paths around the planet without falling back to the surface.


What made Galileo more likely to accept Copernicus model of the solar system?

When Galileo observed that the planet Jupiter has moons which are in orbit around the planet, this made it more believable that planets orbit the sun, since it was already established that not everything orbits the Earth, as had previously been believed in the Ptolemaic system.


When the earth makes a complete orbit around the sun it has made a?

The time it takes the Earth to travel around the Sun once is called one year. This is equal to 365.24 days.


Number of satellites on mars?

Mars has 2 satellites that orbit around the planet. These 2 satellites are not man made. These satellites are naturally made of rock.

Did Neptune made at least one complete orbit around the Sun?

yes


One complete circular movement made by one object around anther object?

An orbit. In fact, orbits are not usually exactly circular. They are "elliptical".


Complete orbit made by earth around the sun?

What are mannmade and natural in orbit around a planet?

Satellites. The moon is a natural satellite. What you and I commonly call satellites are man-made, of course.


The planet with the most satellites?

Earth. Earth has one natural satellite, the moon, which is in orbit around the earth. There are around 3000 man made satellites currently in orbit. Jupiter has the most natural satellites (moons), over 60 have been confirmed. It has no man made satellites in orbit around it, but did have one between 1995 and 2003, an orbiter called Galileo.


Does rings around Saturn keep souls there?

No, Saturns rings are made up of billions of bodies of ice, ranging from millimetres to metres in diameter, in orbit around the planet.

What objects orbit a planet?

When an object, either man-made or natural, orbits a planet it is called a satellite.


What orbit the planets?

The orbit of each planet it the path it takes as it rotates round the Sun under the influence of the force of gravity. Every planet has a separate orbit and the orbits all follow Kepler's three laws of planetary motion.
