Because the Sun holds 99.87% of all the mass in the solar system, it's always going to win the tug of war. Even if all the planets were perfectly lined up on one side of the Sun, the center of mass would be just 800,000 k...

An even better illustration for center of mass is the binary star system . When two stars of comparable mass cohabit the same corner of space, they orbit about a point between each other.

As mars orbits the Sun, it completes one rotation every 24,6 hours, which is very similar to one day on Earth (23.9 hours). Martian days are called sols—short for "solar day." A year on Mars lasts 669.6 sols, which is the same as 687 Earth days.
Mars' axis of rotation is tilted 25 degrees w...
Phases of the Moon
We see different parts of the Moon light up at different times of the month. This is because the Moon is at different positions in its orbit around Earth relative to the Sun.
- A full Moon is when the Moon, Earth and Sun are lined up. The sunlight shines on the whole l...

Venus rotation and orbit are unusual in several ways, Venus is one of just two planets that rotate from east to west.
Only Venus and Uranus have this "backwards" rotation. It completes one rotation in 243 Earth days — the longest day of any planet in our solar system, even longer than a wh...
