What is an object in orbit around the planets?
A planet in an orbit greater than any of the others.An object in orbit around a single planet is a moon or satellite of that planet.
How did newton's work on orbit add to the work Kepler had done?
Kepler made discoveries regarding the planet's distance from the sun and how long it takes a planet to orbit the sun. In Newton's Version of Kepler's Third Law, Newton expands on these ideas by using his Theory of Gravity.
What planet does the orbit go around?
none the orbit is around the sun
When Cassini entered orbit around Saturn did it cause the planet's orbit to change?
Yes, when Cassini entered orbit around Saturn it did cause the planet's orbit to change.
What do you call a path a planet follows as it travels around the sun?
U answer
What is the path of the planets?
Its Orbit.Johannes Kepler (Germany), who lived between the time of Copernicus (Poland) and Isaac Newton (England), correctly postulated that all of the sun's planets indeed revolve about the sun in orbits which have the shape of an ellipse, with the sun at one focus of the ellipse. Isaac Newton, in his Principiae Mathematica, further stated, essentially, that any planet orbiting any star, or any moon orbiting any planet, would follow an elliptical path.
What planet does Miranda orbit around?
The planet Uranus.
Is there any instance where a planets moon would not orbit around it?
No, a moon is a natuaral satellite and would always be in orbit around a planet. If it did'nt orbit the planet it would fall into the planet.
What happen to the planet's orbit if there is no sun?
There would be no orbit. You have to have a body to orbit around and without a star or other planet to orbit around, it would just move in a straight line.
How can you tell something is a planet and not a moon?
A planet is in direct orbit around a central star, while a moon is in orbit around a large body (a planet) rather than in a direct orbit around a star. The moon orbits the planet, while the planet orbits the sun.
According to Newton what force held the planets in orbit?
Newton's model, which is still current for most purposes (with slight modifications by Einstein) has planets held in their orbits by gravitational attraction between Sun and planet.
What does a planet orbit around?
the sun
