How are the planets of the solar system often grouped?
The planets are often grouped as the "inner planets" and the "outer planets" or as the "rocky planets" and the "gas giants." The inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. The outer planets are Saturn, Jupiter, and Uranus. (Pluto was an "outer planets" until it was redefined as a planetoid. Now that Pluto is not considered to be a planet, the outer planets are the same as the gas giants, and the inner planets are the same as the rocky planets. (Pluto was thought to be a rocky planet, or, at least, not a gas giant.
Why is the solar day not equal in time to the period of exactly one rotation of the earth about its axis?
Its to do with the planets progression around the sun in that time. A planets rotation is often expressed in terms of how long it takes to revolve once on its axis relative to the fixed background stars (sidreal rotation period). But during this time, the earth (or other planet) has moved around the sun a little. This progression means that the angles have changed, the earth has to rotate just that little bit more for the sun to appear in the same place as it did the day before. So for Earth and most other planets, a solar or apparent day is slightly longer than its sidereal rotation period.
What is the revolutin around the sun for Saturn?
It takes about 29.5 Earth years for Saturn to revolve around the Sun.More, about the Sun's rotation:At the equator the solar rotation period is 24.47 days. This is called the sidereal rotation period, and should not be confused with the synodic rotation period of 26.24 days, which is the time for a fixed feature on the Sun to rotate to the same apparent position as viewed from Earth. The synodic period is longer because the Sun must rotate for a sidereal period plus an extra amount due to the orbital motion of the Earth around the Sun. Note that astrophysical literature does not typically use the equatorial rotation period, but instead often uses the definition of a Carrington rotation: a synodic rotation period of 27.2753 days (or a sidereal period of 25.38 days). This chosen period roughly corresponds to rotation at a latitude of 26 deg, which is consistent with the typical latitude of sunspots and corresponding periodic solar activity. When the Sun is viewed from the "north" (above the Earth's northern pole) solar rotation is counterclockwise. Sunspots viewed from Earth (its Northern hemisphere) appear to move from left to right across the face of the Sun.It takes about 29.5 Earth years for Saturn to revolve around the Sun.
How often does it take the earth rotate?
In one revolution around our Sun, the Earth rotates just over 365 times. In 4 revolutions around the Sun, the Earth rotates about 1461 times. The average year for the Earth is about 365.25 days.
If you were standing on Pluto how often would you see the satellite Charon rise above the horizon each day?
Never. Pluto is tidally locked to Charon so that Charon never rises or sets but stays in the same place in the sky. For the half of Pluto facing away Charon is never visible.
How often does the moon rotate around the earth each day?
Zero times. It takes the Moon about 27.3 days to revolve just once around the Earth.
What does revolution mean with the solar system?
A revolution in the solar system is the movement of one object around another. For example, all the planets REVOLVE around the sun or the moon REVOLVES around earth. It takes 365.26 days for the earth to have one revolution around the sun, technically a year.
How often does Pluto travel around the sun?
arond the world
What is difference between revolve and rotate?
Teachers often have the idea that teaching the vocabulary is the same as teaching science. It isn't. Vocabulary is just teaching English. (Also doing inch to metric conversions is just math, not science). Revolve usually means "orbit around another body". The Moon revolves around the Earth. The Earth revolves around the Sun. Rotate usually means "to spin on its axis". The Earth rotates every 24 hours. No scientist give a rat's patootie about this stuff.
Does Pluto the planet orbit around a star?
Pluto, which is a planetesimal, not a planet, orbits the star called Sol. Sol gives its name to our Sol-ar system, and is often called, "The Sun."
How often does the the moon revolve?
It revolves every minute! If you mean howlong it takes to revolve completely, it's 28 days.
What does Pluto control?
Well, Pluto is the Roman counterpart of Hades, who was the Greek God of the underworld, but as Pluto he was often seen as the god of wealth.
How often does the moon obit around the earth?
around every 30 days.
Why is computer necessary in a modern office?
Because office jobs often revolve around the computer. Good programs keep the businesses running efficiently and securely.
How often does the earth go around the sun?
It takes a day.
What is another name for Pluto the god?
The Roman god Pluto is often considered the same as the greek god Hades.
How often does the sun travel around the earth?
once every year
