Did You Know?

Some comets have very long orbits!

How Orbits Work

Orbits are made by gravity's pull.

Why Orbits Matter

Orbits help keep our sky safe.

What orbit Does

It keeps planets in line.

It helps moons stay close.

It makes stars shine bright.

It helps us see the night sky.

It keeps space neat and safe.

It helps us learn about space.

More About orbit

Long ago, people looked at the stars. They saw that some stars moved. They found out that planets move too. This is how we learned about orbits. Now we know that orbits are very important in space.

Orbits help us understand our world. They show us how the Earth and Moon move. This helps us know when to see the Moon or stars. It helps us plan for space trips too!

In the future, we may find new orbits. We might see new planets or moons. This will help us learn more about space. Space is full of wonders!
