When were meteor impacts most frequent?
Probably when the Earth and the solar system were very young, and the solar system was still full of stray junk. In the 4 billion years since, the majority of the stuff in the inner solar system has already crashed into the Sun, Jupiter, or the Earth, or the Moon, or been thrown out of the solar system.
What substances existed as solid flakes within the inner 0.3 of the solar system before planets?
None.
Why are the four planets closet to the sun amongst the smallest?
If you look at the four outer planets, they are composed largely of easily vaporized substances substances: hydrogen, helium, water, ammonia, and methane. These light, volatile substances, which accounted for most of the mass of the proto solar system, were driven out of the inner solar system by the strong solar wind of the young sun, leaving the inner planets with material that was mostly rock and metal.
Why is the sun considered the center of the solar system?
The sun has the majority of the mass in the solar system. Gravitational attraction varies directly as the magnitude of the mass. The sun therefore has the greatest gravitational effect in the solar system.
What substances existed as solid flakes within the inner 0.3 AU of the solar system before planets began to form?
none
What does the sun and the eight planets compose?
The solar system
The sun and the planets that orbit it compose which of the following?
The solar system :)
What planet contains the majority of the mass in the solar system?
The majority of the mass in the solar system is contained in the sun, which is a star, not a planet. The Majority of the mass in the solar system outside of the sun is contained in the planet Jupiter.
Where is the majority mass in the solar system?
99% of all the mass in the Solar System is the Sun.
What is a geocentric solar system?
In the geocentric system, the Earth is considered to be the center of the solar system. The Moon, the planets, the Sun, and the stars all rotate around the Earth (which stays still), with uniform circular motion. They compose the heavens, which are considered to be ethereal and unchanging.
What accounts for the sun's tremendous gravitational pull on all of the other object in the solar system and makes it the center of the solar system?
The sun has the majority of the mass in the solar system. Gravitational attraction varies directly as the magnitude of the mass. The sun therefore has the greatest gravitational effect in the solar system.
What is the climate in your solar system?
There is no such "climate" in our solar system, but one thing is true. It is that, as we move far from the Sun, the temperature starts decreasing. That is why, at the edge of our solar system, comets(made up basically of ice) are in majority as compared to asteroids.
Where in your solar system is the asteroid belt located?
The majority of the known asteroids spend the majority of their orbital periods at distances from the sun that are between the distances of Mars and Jupiter, so that's where you'll see the "asteroid belt" located on a sketch of the solar system.
When were meteor impacts most frequent?
Probably when the Earth and the solar system were very young, and the solar system was still full of stray junk. In the 4 billion years since, the majority of the stuff in the inner solar system has already crashed into the Sun, Jupiter, or the Earth, or the Moon, or been thrown out of the solar system.
Where are the astroid found?
Asteroids are found in the sky. The majority of asteroids are found in the inner Solar System.
Is the sun matter?
Yes. In fact the sun contains the vast majority of the matter in the solar system.
What substances existed as solid flakes within the inner 0.3 of the solar system before planets?
None.
