Are the stars you see at night in your solar system?
No. All the stars at night that are actually stars are well beyond the solar system. Five "stars" that you sometimes see are actually planets in our solar system: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. The only actual star in our solar system is the sun.
What is the largest moon in our solar system?
The largest moon in Ganymede, which orbits Jupiter.
Is Jupiter is the biggest planet?
Jupiter is the largest planet because of it's position in the Solar System. It is located past what is known as the "frost line" [See related link] where it was possible for hydrogen to condense into solid ice grains. because - the then Jupiter - had the "Lions" share of free hydrogen, it grew to an immense size.
What stars are in our solar system?
There is only one star in our solar system, which is the sun. All other stars you see are in our galaxy, the Milky Way, but not our solar system. A solar system is normally one star, in our case that is the sun, with other things orbiting it. These include things like planets, asteroids, comets etc.
Where in the solar system do most shooting stars originate?
the asteroid belt between mars and Jupiter
Do mars have any stars around then?
The planet Mars is gravitationally bound to the Sun. The Sun is the primary celestial body in our solar system. All the planets in the solar system (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) revolve around the Sun.
How many stars are in your solar solar system?
It is actually 2. Jupiter and the Sun. Some say that Jupiter is a planet but it is a brown dwarf or a failed star.
How do you explore the solar system?
There are a lot of ways to explore the solar system. Some people, like NASA, see the solar system in stars by the Hubble Telescope satellite. But that satellite only checks the Earth. In order to explore the whole solar system, you must travel to Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune (Pluto is not considered as a planet in the solar system in this answer). If you want, you can also explore Venus and Mercury. But you cannot land on Mercury, especially on Venus (the hottest planet in the solar system). So now astronomers/astronauts only explore Mars - Neptune.
Which planet has the largest and smallest diameter?
Jupiter has the largest diameter of all the planets in our solar system, 142,985km at the equator (11.2 time that of earths). Some exoplanets seen in orbit around other stars (other solar systems) are considerably bigger.
What is the planet bigger than Jupiter?
Jupiter is the biggest planet in the solar system. However there have been 'super Jupiters' found orbiting other stars.
Is Jupiter the largest planet out there?
Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, but not the largest planet of all. Planets larger than Jupiter have been found orbiting other stars.
What planets are the giants?
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are the gas giants of our solar system.
