What is the main difference between moons and planets?
moons are usually lumps of rocks caught in a planets gravitational pull planets can be made of gas and have to be a certain(Pluto is no longer a planet because it is too small)
Are the rocks orbiting the sun or the planets too small to be classified as planet or moons?
Yes.
What is plutos description?
Because it is too small.
What planet rotates in the opposite direction from other planets and moons?
Venus is the obviousexample, butUranus does this too. (Also some moons rotate in unusual directions.)
What two planets do not have moons?
Mercury and Venus have no moons, therefore cannot have eclipses.
How many moons do all of the planets have in all?
These are the number of confirmed moons of each planet.Some may have more yet to be discovered.Mercury: 0Venus: 0Earth: 1Mars: 2Jupiter: 63Saturn: 61Uranus: 27Neptune: 13Ceres: 0Pluto: 3Eris: 1Makemake: 0Haumea: 2
Why do some planets have more moons than other planets?
All matter has a gravitational pull. Even you have a gravitational pull too. It is just that since your mass isn't quite as big as the Earth, your you can't see things moving towards you. When you jump, the Earth pulls you down. THat is cause the Earth is considerably bigger than you and you are attracted to the Earth. Some planets have more moons because of their mass. Since they are bigger and more massive, they pull much more stuff around them to orbit.
Why don't scientists have a clear image of plutos surface?
cuz its too far okay
Tiny planets that orbit Mars and Jupiter?
Objects that orbit a planet are called moons or satellites, they are not planets. Both Mars and Jupiter have moons; Jupiter has a lot more than Mars does, and some of them are quite large, too. The two moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos, are relatively small, perhaps even tiny.
Jupiters moon Ananke where did its name come from?
Like many planets and moons, Ananke too comes from Greek mythology, as the primeval goddess of of inevitability, compulsion and necessity.
Why atmosphere is not used to classify objects as moons or planets?
The planet Mercury lacks and atmosphere while Titan, the largest moon of Saturn, has an a denser atmosphere than Earth does. Rather, planets and moons are classified by what they orbit: planets orbit the sun while moons orbit planets.
Is there water on every planet?
No, water is not found on every planet in our solar system. Some planets are too hot or too cold to have liquid water on their surface. However, water is considered a key ingredient for the possibility of life, so scientists continue to search for water on other planets and moons.
