Orbit portrait

An orbit portrait is like taking a picture of a planet's family. Just like how you have a mommy, daddy, brothers, and sisters in your family, planets also have a family. These are called moons, and they go around the planet in circles.

An orbit portrait shows you all the different moons that go around a planet, and how each one is different. Some are big, some are small, some are closer to the planet, and some are farther away. Kind of like how you and your siblings might have different sizes or personalities.

Scientists use orbit portraits to learn more about the planet and its moons. They study how the moons move and how they interact with each other and the planet. Just like how your family does things together and helps each other out!
