What else can I help you with?
What objects in the solar system are larger than earth?
The Sun and all the planets outside the orbit of Mars (excluding Pluto - which is not a planet anymore) are larger than Earth.
Do all moons orbit a planet?
All known moons. But in theory, there could be a moon orbiting a larger moon, if the large moon was far enough away from the planet.
What do you call a path a planet follows as it travels around the sun?
U answer
What is the point at which a planet is at its smallest distance from the sun in its orbit?
All the planets orbit in a perfect circle, so they always stay the same distance from the sun, except Pluto, which is why it is now a "Dwarf Planet".
What planet moved in an elliptical orbit?
All planets have elliptical orbits.
What would happen if a planet had a larger orbit?
We all die
What objects in the solar system are larger than earth?
The Sun and all the planets outside the orbit of Mars (excluding Pluto - which is not a planet anymore) are larger than Earth.
Why do the planets stay in orbit and not spin into outer space?
The force keeping planets in orbit is gravity from another, larger planet or mass. The larger the planet, the greater the gravitational force it will have. To give an example, the sun in our solar system keeps earth and all the other planets in our solar system in orbit because it has the greatest mass, meaning it also has the greatest gravitational force.
What holds all moons to every planet in their orbits?
Gravity. As the planet rotates it's mass holds it's moons within it's orbit. The larger the planet the stronger is its gravitational pull.
What planet do The moons of io europeganymedecallisto all orbit around?
They orbit Jupiter.
Do all moons orbit a planet?
All known moons. But in theory, there could be a moon orbiting a larger moon, if the large moon was far enough away from the planet.
Did the earth and all the planet orbit the sun?
Yes, all planets in this solar system orbit the sun.
If the Earth came into orbit of another bigger planet would the Earth the be a moon?
yes, if the earth was in orbit around another planet, it would be a moon. However, it wouldn't "come into" orbit around another planet, that's pretty much impossible. a trajectory change like that would kill all life on earth anyway, so it's not something humans will ever witness.
What is the planet orbit?
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.
Which planet rotates the sun?
All of them orbit the Sun.
What hold the planet in orbit around the sun?
The planets orbit the Sun because of the force of gravity that keeps them there. Without gravity they would all move in straight lines.
If planet y orbits the Sun but does not rotate on its axis at all how long would a day be on planet y?
If you mean a locked orbit like some "hot Jupiter" exoplanets, then the answer is; one side of the planet will haveendless daylight and the other side a never ending night. In other words its "solar day" would last "for ever". Comment: that's not what the question says. It's about having no rotation at all. In that (unlikely) case the "sidereal day" would be, technically, infinite. The "solar day" would equal the length of the planet's year.
