if two stars are orbiting each other then how do there planets orbit?

Question

do they go around both suns or a figure of 8 or around each sun with daylight on both sides of the planet at one mad seasonal time of the year,

Answer 1

It depends. If the stars are close together, a planet might orbit the gravitational center of the stellar system. If they are further apart (and they can be hundreds of astronomical units distant), planets probably orbit one star or the other.

It is theoretically possible for a planet to orbit in a figure 8 pattern, but that would be highly unstable and wouldn't last very long at all.

Answer 2

The two stars create a centre point of gravity in which the planet orbits. Basically the two stars orbit each other, and the planet orbits the two stars in a big oval.

Answer 3

Usually would be more of an oval shaped orbit, not round due to the different gravitational pull from the two Suns as they rotated around each other.

Answer 4

Multiple star systems do not have planets around them. The tidal forces would vary so much that planets could not form, and if captured, the orbit could not be stable.

Answer 5

i don't comprehend if it is been shown, even with the undeniable fact that it form of feels as though it would be probable. I guess although that the gravitational pull of two stars on a single planet may be such that lifestyles does not exist.

Answer 6

truthfully, that depends on how close both stars are to each other.
