What do you call the order in which planets are in their relation to the sun? So the Earth would be the 3rd. So is there a name for this 'position'?
A planet's order is called its orbit. This refers to the path that a planet follows around a star.
There are eight planets in our solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
A planet's order in a solar system is determined by its distance from the star it orbits. The closer a planet is to the star, the higher its order will be.
Yes, a planet's order can change over time due to a number of factors such as gravitational interactions with other planets, external forces, and changes in a star's mass.
No, the order of planets in our solar system is not directly related to their size. For example, although Jupiter is the largest planet, it is not the closest to the sun in terms of order.
