What planets orbits around the sun in backward direction from east to west?
All the planets in our solar system orbit around the Sun in the same direction.However, there are two planets that rotate on their axis "backwards" compared with the others. They are Uranus and Venus.
When comparing orbits which planet does not behave like the others?
Pluto does not behave like the other planets in our solar system because it has a highly inclined and elliptical orbit. This means that its path around the Sun is very different from the near-circular and more closely aligned orbits of the eight traditional planets.
Can anyone explain why planets go in eliptical orbit why dont they get collided?
Because the diameters of the orbits are different. Some are closer to the sun, others are further out.
Is earth larger or smaller than all the other planets?
Of the seven other planets that orbit the sun, three are smaller than Earth and four are larger.
Why are some planets near the sun and some others far from the sun?
Near (in order from closest to farthest): Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars Far (same order as before): Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Why? I suppose that's just how things worked out when the planets formed from the "protoplanetary disk". The planets have to be spaced apart enough to form stable orbits. Otherwise their mutual gravitational attraction could disrupt their orbits.
Does all planets have elliptical orbits?
Yes, none of the planets in our solar system have exactly circular orbits, though some are more eccentric than others.
What moons are bigger than the planets?
No moon is larger than the planet it orbits. The two largest moons in the solar system, Ganymede and Titan, which orbit Jupiter and Saturn respectively, are larger than the planet Mercury, but no others.
Why is the sun larger than others?
The sun is larger because it has to produce heat.On Earth the sun orbits around us to give out warmth planets like Mercury also need the sun for important things.Earth has people on it so if we do not have the sun we would just be cold all day so it has to be everywhere.

What math concepts did Isaac Newton work with?
Calculus -- instantaneous changes. Binomial theorem, logarithms, ellipses for orbits of planets, and many others.

Why do planet do not collide as they travel around the sun?
Its a fairly good question. They wont collide as they are in separate orbits, which are many millions of km apart - orbits within orbits. The planets when drawn to scale are also tiny when compared with these orbits and distances. Having said that, their gravitational fields do indeed effect each other, distorting each others orbits.
Is earth larger or smaller than all the other planets?

What is the shape of the orbits of most members of the solar system?
round but some rounder than others. Every object is in an orbit which is an ellipse. The planets are in orbits which look almost exactly like circles with an offset centre, but some comets and dwarf planets have orbits with a high eccentricity.
Are moons always smaller than planets?
The Moon has no natural satellites of its own. In theory it could (as planets have their own moons), but it is unlikely due to the precise orbital requirements. Most possible scenarios do not create stable orbits.
