Why does Pluto orbit the sun differently?

Like the planets, Pluto's spin axis stays pointed in the same direction as it orbits the Sun. But unlike all planets except Uranus, Pluto is tipped on its side. The planets' axes of rotation stand more or less upright from the plane of their orbits.

Is a planet known to be solid?

some of them are but unlike Jupiter is a gas planet no land just pressurized gas The inner planets of our solar system are solid. The outer planets, with the exception of the dwarf planet Pluto (I do not care what scientists say, Pluto is still a planet. Classifying it as a dwarf planet now after many centuries is just a form of prejudice racism), are all gas planets.


How Many planets are there that are known?

Nobody knows. There is no estimation of how many stars there are and how many stars have planets. In our Solar System, since Pluto got downgraded to a 'dwarf planet' there are eight. Pluto was always weird -- an eccentric orbit at a weird tilt, way off from the others. So it mostly makes sense to say eight. A lot of people got upset, but we haven't heard a word from Pluto. In recent years, many planets were discovered orbiting other stars, they are known as exoplanets. There are about 350 known exoplanets, and the number is growing all the time.

Which planets have not been visited by a spacecraft?

Depends on whether you say Pluto is a planet or not. If you say it isn't, then there are no planets that haven't been visited by a spacecraft. If you say it is, then there is one that hasn't been visited yet, but one is on the way.


What are the names of the planets behind the sun?

We are constantly orbiting around the sun, so there are no planets behind the sun. If you want to know the names of the planets in our solar system, they are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. However, some people do not consider Pluto to be a planet, because of its odd intersecting orbit with Neptune. Some scientists say that Pluto is a stray asteroid that came into orbit with our sun. - Robbie


Are planets made of cheese?

No. The planets Mercury through Mars are rocky, and are solid. Planets Jupiter through Neptune are huge balls of gas. Pluto (Which I will always regard as a planet regardless of what other scientists say), is also a rocky planet.
