Where is a asteroid locates at?
The asteroids are located between the orbit of Mars and the Jupiter. The asteroids are believed to be the remain of a planet that once used to orbit the sun.
What force counteracts a planet's inertia and keeps the planet in its orbit?
Gravity is the force that counteracts a planet's inertia and keeps it in its orbit. The gravitational force between the planet and the star it orbits causes the planet to continuously fall towards the star while simultaneously moving tangentially at a sufficient speed to remain in a stable orbit.
Is an orbit why a planet is a planet?
no because stars can orbit each other
What planet is the closet orbit?
Venus is the planet with the closest orbit to that of Earth.
How do the orbit of planets differ from the orbit of moons?
A planet orbits a star. A moon orbits a planet or dwarf planet.
WHY DOES A MOON REMAIN ORBIT AROUND A PLANET?
The planet and the moon(s) gravitational pull

What planet was farthest from the sun for 20 years?
Neptune has been the farthest planet from the sun for 20 years due to Pluto [the dwarf planet] passing through it's orbit . Since the reclassification of Pluto as a dwarf planet rather than a planet, in 2006, Neptune will remain the farthest planet, regardless of Pluto's position in it's orbit.
What planet do comets orbit?
Comets don't orbit a planet, they orbit the sun.
How can we calculate the way a planet orbits the solar system?
Planets do not orbit the solar system: they orbit the sun and remain inside the solar system.Planetary motion can be calculated from Kepler's laws.
Does Venus orbit a planet?
No, Venus does not orbit a planet. It orbits a star, which is our Sun. It can not orbit a planet , if it did it would be a moon

Does smaller planet orbit bigger planet or does bigger planet orbit smaller planet?
Planets orbit stars, not other planets. A planet-like object that orbits a planet is a moon.
Which planet has the smallest orbit and the largest orbit?
The plane with the smallest orbit is Mercury, and the planet with the largest orbit is Neptune.
Is an orbit why a planet is a planet?
no because stars can orbit each other
The planet that has an orbit that intersects the orbit of the dwarf planet Pluto?
Neptune.
What is the shape of a planet's orbit and what does it contribute?
The shape of a planet's orbit is elliptical.
