What else can I help you with?
What shapes are the orbits of many comets?
Most cross orbits of planets which allows it to hit the planets easier. They do not go into a full orbit at all.
What is the main difference between the orbits of the inner and outer planets?
The planets revolve in elliptical orbits. The inner planets have orbits 230 million km or less from the Sun. The outer planets have orbits 775 million km or greater.
What forces cause the planets to go around the sun and stay in their orbits?
The force of gravity between the planets and the sun is what keeps the planets in their orbits. Gravity pulls the planets towards the sun, but their forward velocity keeps them moving in a circular or elliptical path around it. This balance between gravity and velocity enables the planets to stay in their orbits around the sun.
Can the planet Venus' go out of its orbit?
Planet Venus cannot leave its orbit by itself. A sufficiently close encounter with a object of sufficient mass will perturb its orbit. If the object is large enough and close enough, Venus (or any planet) could leave the orbit of the Sun.
Do the inner planets have closely spaced orbits?
Yes, the inner planets—Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars—have relatively closely spaced orbits compared to the outer planets. Their orbits are tighter and more compact, primarily due to their proximity to the Sun. This results in shorter orbital periods and smaller average distances between their orbits compared to the larger, more distant orbits of the outer planets.
What are the four planets that have orbits from most to least?
All the planets have orbits so four cannot be picked out.
Does Saturn have star that orbits it?
Planets cannot have stars orbiting them by definition.
What makes the planets go around the sun?
the orbits

Why are Saturn's moons not planets?
A moon is an object that orbits a planet. A planet cannot orbit another planet.

This balance between gravity and velocity enables the planets to stay in their orbits around the sun.
What are the orbits of the gas giant planets?
They are the path taken by the gas giant planets (that is Jupiter and Saturn) as they go round the Sun.
What force is responible for the orbits of the planets in the solar system?
Gravity from the Sun holds the planets in their orbits.
What of the planets are ellipses?
their orbits
Why planets and moons of planets stay in their orbits?
The forces of gravity between two masses are the cause of all orbits.
Kepler showed that the orbits of the planets are?
Kepler showed that the orbits of the planets are elliptical, with the Sun at one of the focal points. This discovery led to his laws of planetary motion, which describe how planets move in their orbits.
