Yes, there are several. We have found several planets orbiting around suns, and we have just begun looking. The planets so far found are several times larger than earth, and many are called "fluffy Jupiters" because they are similar to Jupiter in composition and mass, but much larger in size. This is probably do to the fact that they orbit so close to their suns that the gases are significantly expanded. As our technology improves, we will be able to detect smaller and smaller planets, and we may find some that are rocky like earth, and that orbit at potentially life-sustaining distances from their suns.
Maybe, but it will not be for quite a while yet. There are two big problems: one is that the other solar systems (we should really say stellar systems) are SO far away, and the other is that the requirements for a planet friendly to human life are pretty restrictive.
Exactly like ours? Not that we've seen yet. Are there solar systems orbiting other suns? Sure there are, not many with planets that could support life as we know it tho...
In our own solar system, yes. We can't say anything yet about systems bound to other stars.
Most likely there are. But just detecting the presence of the 'extra-solar' planets is so delicate and difficult, we don't have the ability yet to detect the presence of their satellites.
I am starting a solar company and do not have my contractors license yet. There is licensed company that will install the systems that I sell. Is it possible for me to simply state in the contract that the customer is simply buying the materials from me and the contractor is installing them? Or do I have to act as an agent of the other company?
The hottest planet in our solar system is Venus. It has a thick atmosphere that traps heat from the Sun, leading to surface temperatures that can reach up to 900 degrees Fahrenheit (475 degrees Celsius).
Yes, there are planets outside our solar system known as exoplanets. These planets orbit stars other than the Sun. Thousands of exoplanets have been discovered so far using various techniques like the transit method and radial velocity method.
Well, our solar system, stars, planets, dust , asteroids, and a lot of other things. There are like 300000000000000 other things in the solar system that we don't know yet!!
As of yet, there is still no proof of sentient life on other planets.
yes there could be another one out there some where because if you think about it where does our solar system end? We already know that there are other solar systems; we have observed planets around distant stars. We have not yet observed any planet that appears to be enough like earth to sustain life. We do know that there are other solar systems, though I seriously doubt that they have ever had life on them, regardless of whether they have or had water on it, which isn't a fail safe way of proving that any other planet or even universe has or ever had life in the first place. The only other real life out there, besides that on earth, is the spiritual ones, like God and his angels, fallen and the original ones.
Yes, other galaxies have solar systems similar to our own Milky Way galaxy. These systems consist of stars like our Sun, planets, and other celestial bodies. Studying these systems helps scientists understand the diversity of planetary systems in the universe.
Not in our own solar system. The orbits of all the planets in the solar system have stabilized, and there isn't enough mass in the remaining asteroids to form a new planet. Else where, however, there are solar systems that are still forming, with new planets that are yet to form.
