Do stars orbit planets or planets orbit stars?
Planets orbit stars.
How long are the planets orbits?
The length of a planet's orbit around the Sun varies depending on the distance from the Sun. For example, Mercury has an orbit of about 88 Earth days, while Neptune's orbit is around 165 Earth years.
Do planets share the same orbit?
No, planets do not share the same orbit. Each planet in our solar system travels along its own distinct path around the Sun. The varying distances and speeds of planets in their orbits prevent them from sharing the same orbit.
What is it called when two planets switch orbit?
This phenomenon is called a planetary resonance. It occurs when two planets influence each other's orbits, causing them to switch positions or alter their orbital paths.
Why do different planets have different length orbits?
Different planets have different length orbits because they are at varying distances from the sun. The farther a planet is from the sun, the longer it takes to complete an orbit. This is due to the gravitational pull of the sun, which affects the speed at which planets travel around it.
Does each of the eight planets in our solar system have its own orbit?
Yes, each of the 8 major planets has its own orbit, with no asteroids or other objects in its path.
What is each planets path around the sun?
orbit
Do any planets collide in orbit?
No they each have its own orbit around the sun and they do not collide
How many steps did the eight planets take to finished around the orbit?
Planets do not take steps. Each planet has its own orbit and is is different.
Do stars orbit planets or planets orbit stars?
Planets orbit stars.
Do all the planets have smaller planets orbiting them?
No. Planets orbit suns, while moons orbit planets. Planets do not orbit planets.
What from the sun holds the planets in orbit?
The Sun AND its planets attract each other with gravitic force.
How long are the planets orbits?
The length of a planet's orbit around the Sun varies depending on the distance from the Sun. For example, Mercury has an orbit of about 88 Earth days, while Neptune's orbit is around 165 Earth years.
What is shared by all the planets in the solar system?
The sun, each of the eight planets is in orbit around our sun.
Do planets share the same orbit?
No, planets do not share the same orbit. Each planet in our solar system travels along its own distinct path around the Sun. The varying distances and speeds of planets in their orbits prevent them from sharing the same orbit.
How is the length of the year is determined?
A planets year is the time it take to make one orbit of its star.
Why are the orbit of the planets different?
So they don't run into each other.
