I am not sure but I think the densties get larger scince you are getting farther away from the sun.
I do not know if his is right.(it may be the oppisite)

How do planets change orbital speed change?
Planets with elliptical orbits are affected by the difference in the strength of the Sun's gravity as they move closer to, or farther away from, the Sun. The only other major effect on planets are the gravity of other planets, notably Jupiter and Neptune. Except for Mars, Ceres, Pluto, and trans-Neptunian planets, the effect is extremely small -- it has resulted in stable orbital resonances between several small outer planets and the planet Neptune.
What is the name of the planet nearest to earth?
Venus, Mars or (rarely) Mercury. Venus can approach nearest to Earth, but the planets' distances change as they orbit the Sun.
What planets look like stars in night sky?
They look like points of light. On first sight, a planet might be confused with a star (a very bright star, in the case of Venus, Jupiter, and sometimes Mars). Planets shine brightly and do not flicker while stars do not shine as bright (usually) and they always flicker, or sparkle.
How does the speed of sound of change for mediums of different densities compressibilities and temperature?
The speed of sound of change for mediums of different densities compressibilities and temperature because different densities give different resistance to the sound. It blacks more of ht sound the denser the object is,, and give more when the object is less dense.
What planet rises as the sun sets?
There are no planets that have constant rise and set times; those times change daily as the Earth and other planets follow their own orbital paths through the solar system. There are two planets that NEVER "rise as the sun sets"; Mercury and Venus are closer to the Sun than Earth is.
Is mercury or neptune closer to the earth?
Those distances change constantly, but Mercury isalways closer to the Earth than Neptune everis.
In geocetric system what is the arrangement of planets?
The order would change depending on whether the planet was on the same side of the sun or the fr side.But, subject to that, Venus, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.
What are the 2 new planets in the solar system?
The Uranus was the newest planet of the Solar System. I think this was made in 90s but there are no newest planets in the Solar System. The Planets in the Solar System is: Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus (Newest) Neptune Pluto (Dwarf Planet/Planet) As you can see, there's no two "(Newest)" in the lists of planets but there is one but sorry, the list did not change.

How many planets in the solar system and name them all?
well right now there are eight planets in our solar system!(not including Pluto) 1.) Mercury 2.) Venus 3.) Earth 4.) Mars 5.) Jupiter 6.) Saturn 7.) Uranus 8.) Neptune But if you want to include Pluto, you can if you would like too! that would make Pluto the ninth planet! it's really easy to remember the way the planets go order, and theire names! IT'S My=MERCURY Very=VENUS Eager=EARTH Mother=MARS Just=JUPITER Served=SATURN Us=URANUS Nuggets=NEPTUNE and if you would like to add Pluto all you do is change NUGGETS to NINE! Nine=NEPTUNE Peices=PLUTO
What planet is the farthest from the earth?
Neptune is the furthest planet from the Earth.Previously the furthest planet was Pluto, however is it no longer officially classed as a planet.As far as those bodies officially considered planets today, Neptune is farthest from earth. Some of the dwarf planets - Pluto being best known - are farther away.The distance between planets is always changing. Pluto would be the furthest away from us normally, but it is not regarded as a planet now, and in fact it can occasionally be nearer to the sun than Neptune. So the answer is that Neptune is the planet furthest away from us, within our solar system. There are planets in other solar systems and new ones are still being discovered and they are much further from us than Neptune.As far as those bodies officially considered planets today, Neptune is farthest from earth. Some of the dwarf planets - Pluto being best known - are farther away.Pluto is no longer considered a planet so Neptune

What planets are capable of maintaining a gaseous atmosphere?
All the planets are capable of maintaining a gaseous atmosphere, but Mercury and Mars have only very thin atmospheres - to the point that Mercury is usually considered to not have an atmosphere and Mars is considered to barely have an atmosphere. Earth is still maintaining an atmosphere - for which we should all be grateful (despite gloom and doom predictions from global climate change enthusiasts this is unlikely to change any time soon) Venus has an extremely thick atmosphere. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are "gas giants" - which means the atmosphere of each planet occupies the majority of the volume - we think. At the very least they all definitely have considerable atmospheres.
What planets look like stars in night sky?

Are the 8 planets the only planets?
Technically speaking there are only eight planets in our Solar System, those planets being: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. There is however many extrasolar planets (3639) that have been discovered so far. Billions more likely exist in our galaxy alone.
How does the makeup of the planets change once you pass the asteroid belt?
Beyond the asteroid belt, the planets are massive gas giants. The reason for this is that they have retained most of their hydrogen and helium, which the inner planets did not. Had they formed closer to the Sun, they might have become rocky and terrestrial as well. The icy dwarf planets beyond Neptune would likely not survive if they were warmer : most of their mass is frozen gases.
