Why does it take the outer planets so long to orbit the Sun?
The outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun, because they are farther away from the Sun. It make its gravitational pull weaker to the farther planets. That means that the outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun.
Why does the brightness of Jupiter appear to change?
It depends on the distance between the Earth and Jupiter. Since Jupiter is much further away from the sun than the Earth, it takes longer for it to make a rotation around the sun. This difference in the speed at which the two planets orbit the sun leads to differences in their distance to one another over the span of months and years. Generally of course the closer the two planets are from one another, the greater brightness that Jupiter appears to us.
Why does the number of dwarf planets constantly change?
because scientists can't make up their mind about what makes a planet a planet.
What characteristics set the inner planets apart from the outer planet and name the outer planets?
The inner planets are all rocky planets, whereas the outer planets are gas giants. Pluto is the exception. The outer planets also make 99% of our planets and are outside the asteroid belt.
Mercury Venus earth and mars make up?
Inner planets orTerrestrial Planets Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are the "Inner" planets (as they are inside the asteroid belt), but are also called the terrestrial planets, as they are primarily composed of rock and metal.Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are all inner planets.

What inference can you make about the relationship between the general trend in island and size and increase in distance west of Kilauea?
the size increases
What are the planets that make up Earth's crust?
Planets do not make up the Earth's crust.
Are the planets that make up Earth's crust?
Planets do not make up the Earth's crust.
What determines the length of a planets year?
distance from a source of light and how long it takes to orbit that source
Why does the number of dwarf planets constantly change?
because scientists can't make up their mind about what makes a planet a planet.
Why are all the planets that are not planets?
This question doesn't make sense to me.
Jupitersaturnuranusneptuneand Pluto make up what planets?
The outer planets.
Why do the distant planets have a longer year than earth does?
For the same reason that it would take longer to run around your block than to run around your yard. The further planets have a further distance to travel to make one revolution around the sun.
What 2 things can make the pressure of gas rise?
1) Increase in heat 2)Decrease in volume
Why are planets situated at different distance from the sun?
Because they are spread out naturally and there is no natural mechanism to make them cluster together because the Sun's gravity holds them in their own orbits.
