Orbit of the Earth around the Sun, illustration. The Earth orbits the Sun at a distance of about 150 million kilometres, taking just over 365 days to complete one orbit. Like all the other planets the Earth orbits in a counter-clockwise direction when viewed from above (North). In this representation the distances and sizes are not to scale.

RFKHKRFT–Illustration of a supermoon. A Supermoon occurs when the Moon is both fully illuminated and near its closest point (perigee) in its orbit around the Earth. Astronomers simply call this a perigee full moon. In November 2016, a Supermoon had an apparent diameter of 34 arcminutes, some 14 percent larger than a full moon at apogee, when it is farthest away in its orbit around the Earth.

RFPT5HF1–Illustration of the planet 55 Cancri e,also called Janssen.This is an exoplanet orbiting 55 Cancri A.Its mass is thought to be around 8.6 Earth masses,making it a so-called 'Super-Earth'.The planet orbits its star so closely that it completes an orbit in less than 18 hours.Its proximity to its star - only 0.015 astronomical units,or 1 20th of the Mercury-Sun separation - means that the planet is exceptionally hot and likely volcanic,as this depiction shows.

RFM4JB66–WASP-12b is an extrasolar planet, found orbiting the star WASP-12 using the SuperWASP planetary transit survey. The planet is so close to its host star that it completes a single orbit in little more than a day, and astronomers have measured its orbital distance as just 0.023 astronomical units â€“ 1/44th of the Earth-Sun distance. This proximity means that WASP-12b, a so-called hot Jupiter, is tidally distorted by the gravity of its parent star and is losing material to it in a narrow gas stream. Its day side temperature is around 2500 Kelvin â€“ comparable to some cool stars.
