We know their masses and relative velocities, so can predict their movement through calculations based on these known values.

What is uranus's orbit shape?

Uranus orbits the Sun in an almost perfect circle, although it is slightly elliptical. Its orbit is tilted at an angle of about 98 degrees compared to the plane of the Solar System, making it unique among the planets.


How do the planets move around the sun to create a year?

the planets move around in an oval shape around the sun there are 2 ways they do that 1.the revolution around the sun 2.spinning around if a planet goes around the sun then that's called a revolution it takes 365 days (1 year) for the earth to go around the sun if a planet spins around that is 1 day it takes 24 hours (1 day) for earth to spin around some planets take longer to go around the sun and some go faster than the earth

cells grow in predictable ways


How do you calculate current position of the planets using Microsoft Excel?

You would need to know a lot about astronomy and the ways the planets are arranged and how they move. That would be your starting point. That would be quite complex. Once you have those calculations, then it could be done in Excel. However the planets are constantly moving, and all at different speeds and taking different amounts of time to orbit the Sun and having various quirks into their movements.You would need to know a lot about astronomy and the ways the planets are arranged and how they move.

Name some ways inner planets are similar?

they are all small rocky planets [earth,mercury,venus,mars]

What are two similarities about the inner and outer planets?

Both inner and outer planets orbit around the sun and have roughly spherical shapes. Additionally, they are part of the same solar system and are composed of similar elements, such as rock and metal for inner planets, and gas and ice for outer planets.


What are three ways that the outer and inner planets are alike?

Shape, rotation-direction, and orbit-direction.


How many ways do planets move?

Planets move in a few primary ways: rotation on their axis, which results in day and night cycles; revolution around a star, like the Sun, which determines their year length; and orbital motion within a solar system, influenced by gravitational forces. Additionally, planets may have other motions, such as precession or tidal forces, affecting their orbits.


What are some ways that stars and planets are similar?

Planets and stars are similar:FEW OF THE WAYS ARE :Both the stars and planets moveThey are celestial objectsThey are studied by astronomers


What was the first planet to orbit the moon?

The moon orbits our planet. Planets do not orbit moon. A moon is a moon because it orbits planets. The reverse of your question, 'What was the first moon to orbit a planet.', is hard to say. Moons are formed in different ways and because of this can be made of materials that existed long before they became moons.


In what 2 ways does the moon move?

I can think of at least three ways the moon moves. It's primary movement is the orbit around planet earth, then it is also in orbit of the sun along with earth, and on top of that it is circling the black hole at the center of our milky way galaxy along with the solar system and many, many other planets and stars.

What are two major ways earth moves in space?

1) Rotation around its axis 2) Orbit around the Sun 3) Orbit around the center of the Milky Way


What are two ways that planets are different from stars?

1) Although planets can be composed primarily of rock or gas, only stars are objects made of gas that are massive enough to support a nuclear fusion reaction. 2) Although planets and stars can orbit stars (as in binary systems), stars never orbit planets.

How do things maintain orbit around the earth?

Gravity _____________ See link for information about different ways that objects can orbit other objects.


How does the sun affet the rest of the solar system?

The sun affects the rest of the solar system in many, many ways. The sun holds planets in orbit around itself, like the earth does with the moon. Without this gravitational pull, the planets would just spin off, out of orbit into the universe. Also, the sun heats all planets. For example, earth seasons are caused by the earth's tilt towards the sun. In short, the sun is what keeps this solar system grouped together.
