Who proposed this law that the ratio of the squares of the periods of revolution to the cubes of their average distances from the sun is the same for every one of the planets?
It was Kepler. It's Kepler's 3rd Law of Planetary motion.
Does a planets distance from the sun relate of surface found on the planets?
because the sun is far away from Pluto the planets suface would be ice i hope that helped you.
What is its distance from the sun and planets?
there are different distances such as the closest planet mercury is 58 km away from the sun.
Why do planets revolve around d sun in a particular orbit?
The planets revolve attracted by the gravitational force of primarily the sun and to a lesser degree the gravitational attraction of other planets. The reason for the orbit is thought to relate to the rotation of the primeval gas could which gave berth to the sun and the planets.
Why might you say the solar system is mostly 'empty space'?
Everything is mostly space. The diameter of the sun is 865 thousand miles, which is a bit under a million. The radius of the earth's orbit is 93 million miles, almost 100 million. Sedna, which isn't even outside the solar system, orbits 900 times as far (currently).
What does the third law planetary motion state?
The cubes of the average distances of the planets from the sun is proportional to the squares of their periods.
What is the distances between the sun and the other planets in the solar system?
The difference is that the sun is a star, the other planets are just planets
What is the third planet closest to Earth?
The distances vary as the planets orbit the Sun. On average, the answer is Mercury.
How far apart are the planets?
It varies. The planets move in their orbits at different distances from the sun and at vaying speeds. The distances between them is constantly changing.
Are inner planets found at great distances from the sun?
yes, however as compared to the outer planets, no.

How does a planets period of rotation differ from its period of revolution?
they have different distances from the sun
Why do the planets have distances fro the sun?
because they we're made at different times
Do planets take turns orbiting?
No. The planets all orbit the sun at the same time. The planets occupy different orbits at different distances from the sun so they do not affect one another significantly.
What is the Bode Law?
The Bode's Law is a rule that estimates distances of planets from the Sun in our solar system based on a numerical sequence. It was proposed by Johann Daniel Titius and Johann Elert Bode in the 18th century, and while it accurately predicted the positions of several planets, it is widely considered a numerical coincidence rather than a physical law.
