Which type of planets are the larger planets?
the planets jupiter, saturn, uranus and neptune are the larger planets. They are also called jovian/giant planets.
Are the jovian planets thought to have cores larger than earth?
Yes, the jovian planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) are thought to have cores that are larger than Earth. These cores are composed of heavy elements like rock, metal, and possibly icy materials. However, the exact size and composition of these cores are still not fully understood and are the subject of ongoing research.
Is it true that av nodal cells are poorly interconnected to contractile cells but they have bigger diameters?
They are poorly interconnected, but they do not have larger diameters.
Are outer planets or inner planets larger?
The outer planets are larger.
Are outer planets larger and rockier than inner planets?
they are larger but not rockier then the inner planets the outer planets are made of gas.
Jovian planets are large?
The 4 Jovian planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. They are all larger than any of the other planets.
The most obvious difference between the terrestrial and the jovian planets is?
The size. The gaseous Jovian planets are far larger than the inner terrestrial planets.
Which type of planets are the larger planets?
the planets jupiter, saturn, uranus and neptune are the larger planets. They are also called jovian/giant planets.
Why is it more difficult for gases to escape from Jovian planets than terrestrial planets?
Jovian planets have a much stronger gravitational force due to their larger mass.
Compared to the size of the earth the Jovian planets are?
The Jovian planets are all much larger than Earth. See related link for a size comparison
Why are the Jovian planets so much larger than the terrestrial planets?
No, they are less dense as the majority of their volume is composed of very light hydrogen gas. A jovian planet may have a core that is denser than that of a terrestrial planet but, as this is dense, it is not all that large. The hydrogen atmosphere is very large and therefore anti-dense (if you know what I mean). The lightness therefore dominates.
Define Gas Giant Jovian planets?
they are larger than earth and have low densities.
Which planet is bigger uranuus or earth?
Uranus is a Jovian planet, which are much larger the terrestrial planets, like Earth.
The difference between a jovian planet and a Terran planet?
Jovian Planets: Gas GiantsThe gas giants, popularly referred to as the Jovian planets, are the planets which are not composed of any solid matter. Technically speaking, the planets which have 10 times more mass than the Earth are classified as the Jovian planets. The examples of Jovian planets in our solar system, include the planet Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. These planets are referred to as the Jovian planets owing to their stark resemblance to the planet Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system. Other than these four planets in our solar system, several other gas giants have been discovered in outer space.Terrestrial Planets: Inner PlanetsTerrestrial planets, also known as the rocky planets or the telluric planets, are those planets which are predominantly composed of silicate rocks. The examples of terrestrial planets in the solar system are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. These planets resemble the planet Earth to a significant extent, and hence they are referred to as 'Earth-like' or 'terrestrial' (derived from the Latin word the Earth - terra). Other than the Earth, and three other terrestrial planets in our solar system, the scientists have identified a number of planets with terrestrial traits in outer space.Jovian Planets Vs Terrestrial PlanetsThat brings us back to the terrestrial planets vs Jovian planets comparison. The most basic difference between Jovian and terrestrial planets is their size. While the Jovian planets are gigantic, the terrestrial planets are considerably small. In fact, the smallest Jovian planet is 10 times larger than the planet Earth, which is the largest terrestrial planet. Even in terms of the mass, Jovian planets score over their terrestrial counterparts. The smallest Jovian planet has 15 times more mass than the Earth. The surface of the Jovian planets is made up of gases, while the surface of the terrestrial planets is made up of solid rock. Similarly, the atmosphere of the terrestrial planets is predominantly made up of nitrogen and carbon dioxide, while the atmosphere of the Jovian planets is made up of hydrogen and helium. As far as the distance from the Sun is concerned, the terrestrial planets are closer to the Sun, and hence are referred to as inner planets, while the Jovian planets are farther, and hence are referred to as the outer planets. Surprisingly, however, the speed at which the Jovian planets rotate is much faster than the terrestrial planets. The density of the terrestrial planets is five times that of water, while the density of the Jovian planets is as much as that of water. Yet another point of difference between the Jovian planets and the terrestrial planets is the number of natural satellites. While the terrestrial planets either have none or a very few (Mercury-0, Venus-0, Earth-1 and Mars-2), the Jovian planets have a large number of them.
Do the terrestrial planets have much smaller masses than the Jovian planets?
The cores of jovian planets are very similar to terrestrial ones. Jovian planets are simply a more evolved form of terrestrial planet contrary to popular perception. Jovian planets often have a lot of hydrogen, helium, methane, and/or volatile ices to make up its atmosphere to the point where oceans of these components cover the terrestrial core and billow the atmosphere to large proportions. Terrestrial planets absorbed less of these components from the leftover solar nebula leaving only the rocky surface and maybe some gas of an atmosphere.
what are the characteristics of a Jovian planet?
They have no solid surfaces. They are much larger than the terrestrial planets. They orbit far from the sun. They are composed of gases.
Are the jovian planets thought to have cores larger than earth?
Yes, the jovian planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) are thought to have cores that are larger than Earth. These cores are composed of heavy elements like rock, metal, and possibly icy materials. However, the exact size and composition of these cores are still not fully understood and are the subject of ongoing research.
