Where are small icy bodies loacted?
Small icy bodies are located in the solar system where they orbit the sun.
Comets are considered to belong to the solar system if they?
Comets are considered to belong to the solar system if they orbit the Sun. They are icy bodies that typically have elongated orbits that bring them close to the Sun at some point.
What are the planets and moons that circle the sun called?
Planets and moons that orbit the sun are generally referred to as celestial bodies or astronomical bodies in the context of our solar system.

What is the name for all the bodies that orbit the sun and the sun itself?
The bodies that orbit the sun, including the sun itself, make up the solar system.
What is an orbit around the sun?
An orbit around the sun is that of a heavenly body, such as a planet, that is mdkjhattracted to the gravitational pull from the sun. The sun is the largest object in the solar system so its gravitational pull is the strongest. The heavenly bodies go around the sun not making a circle, but an oval.
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.
What Planets are major bodies that orbit?

What is the term for the rocky bodies that orbit the sun and a belt between Mars and Jupiter?

Is the orbit of the sun rectangular?
No, celestial bodies typically have elliptical orbits
Which planet is large body and orbits the sun?
All the planets are large bodies that orbit the sun.
Why do all the planets in our solar system orbit the sun?
The Sun has such a gigantic mass that it dominates the nearby volume of space.Not all bodies do orbit the Sun; there are comets that get pulled in by the Sun's gravity but then leave the solar system (comest on hyperbolic paths).Many smaller bodies also orbit their parent planets (we then call them moons).What else could the planets orbit around? Part of the definition of a planet is that it orbits the Sun! So planets by definition orbit the Sun! If they did not orbit the Sun they would not be called planets!
