What else can I help you with?
What force is responible for the orbits of the planets in the solar system?
Gravity from the Sun holds the planets in their orbits.
Do all planets have eliptical orbits?
No, not all planets have elliptical orbits. While most planets in our solar system have nearly circular orbits, some planets, like Mercury and Pluto, have more elliptical orbits. Additionally, exoplanets outside our solar system can have a variety of orbital shapes.
How many planets in your solar system are denser than earth?
there 9 planets one is moved
How do planets stay on orbit?
The gravity of the Sun keeps the planets in their orbits. They stay in their orbits because there is no other force in the Solar System which can stop them.
What planet passes out of the solar system?
None of the planets pass out of our solar system. The orbits of the planets, irregular as they may be IS the solar system.
Which planets orbital shape is similar to Jupiter?
All planets in our solar system have elliptical orbits.
How do you know that Venus orbits the Earth and not the sun?
It doesn't. All of the planets in our solar system orbits the sun.
Does all planets have elliptical orbits?
Yes, none of the planets in our solar system have exactly circular orbits, though some are more eccentric than others.
Why do the planets and the other objects in the solar system stay in their orbits?
The planets and other objects in the solar system stay in their orbits due to the mutual gravitational attraction between each orbiting object and the Sun.
What is the difference between dwarf planets and regular planets?
Dwarf planets are smaller than regular planets. Dwarf planets are smaller than the 8 major planets of our solar system. They are not quite planets as they have not cleared their orbit of sufficient matter. They are roughly spherical in shape and orbit the sun directly, so fulfil these two criteria, but have not achieved the third (sufficiently clearing their orbits).
Which two planets overlap?
The orbits of all planets in our solar system do not overlap; each planet has its own distinct orbit around the Sun. However, there are times when planets appear close together in the sky from our viewpoint on Earth due to their positions in their respective orbits.
What are 3 distinctive characteristics of orbit of planet and moon in the solar system?
1). They orbit in the same around the sun, and as the sun. 2). Orbits of planets and their larger moons are in just about the same plane. 3). Almost all planets and moons rotate on their axes in the same direction as the planets orbit the sun.
