What else can I help you with?
Are they finding more planets in the solar system?
Not in our solar system. In fact the scientific community recently reduced the number of planets in our solar system by reclassifying Pluto as a Dwarf Planet. As for other solar systems, yes, there are still new planets being discovered; Often enough that the discoveries don't even usually rate any mention in mainstream news media.
How does Jupiter rate among the planets in terms of size?
Jupiter is the largest of the 8 major planets, and the largest body in the solar system except for the Sun itself.
How many planets are there today?
In our solar system, there are eight recognized planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus. The total number of planets outside of our solar system can only be hypothesized, but evidences of new planets are being discovered at an ever increasing rate.
How does the dwarf planet Pluto rate among planets in terms of size?
Pluto is smaller than the eight major planets. It is the second-largest "dwarf planet" in the solar system (only Eris appears to be larger).
Do all planets revolve around its axis?
No, not all planets revolve around their axes. Some planets like Venus have a very slow rotation, while others like Jupiter rotate more quickly. The rate at which a planet spins on its axis can vary depending on its size, composition, and distance from the sun.
What are some of Galileos greatest achievements?
Using inclines, Galileo discovered that all objects fall at the same rate. He was also the first to witness the moons around Venus, proof that the solar system does not revolve around the Earth.
What planet in your solar system has the fastest rotation rate?
Jupiter has the fastest rotation rate of any planet in our solar system, completing a full rotation on its axis in about 9.9 hours.
How does the planet Pluto rate in terms of the other planets in term of size?
Pluto is smaller in size compared to the other planets in our solar system. It is classified as a dwarf planet, with a diameter that is smaller than Earth's moon. Among the eight recognized planets, Pluto ranks the smallest.
What planet has a rate of rotation that is 24.5 hours?
Mars rotates in about 24 hours 37 minutes. That's about 24.5 hours.
What are the properties for the solar system's planets?
the inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) all have rocky solid surfaces. The outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) all have gaseous atmospheres and liquid surfaces. Pluto is very dense and has a rocky surface.
How does earth rate in terms of the other planets in term of size is it the biggest or the smallest?
Earth is a fairly small planet. It is neither the biggest nor the smallest, as there are literally billions of billions of planets.
Is there a minimum flow rate for a solar pool heater?
Yes, there is a minimum flow rate requirement for a solar pool heater to ensure proper operation and adequate heat transfer. This flow rate varies depending on the size of the solar panel system and manufacturer specifications. It's essential to follow the manufacturer's guidelines to optimize the system's performance and longevity.
