What make up the surface of the outer planets?
Very little is known about the make up of the surface of the outer planets. The outer planets are generally referred to as gas giants. While most of them are made up of mostly gasses, it is is believed that their cores are made up of liquified heavy metals.
Why can you not live on most planets?
Becuase they are eather too hot, cold, have poisonus gasses, or don't have an atmosphere we can breathe.
What planet is larger than mercury?
Jupiter and most of the planets.
When the solar system was formed the spheres that lost most of their gasses became what?
The inner planets
What are Jupiter Saturn Uranus and Neptune said to be?
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are often referred to as gas giants. They are composed mostly of hydrogen and helium, with no solid surface. These planets are also much larger in size compared to the terrestrial planets like Earth and Mars.
Why are the inner planets smaller when the outer planets are larger?
By mass, the majority of the matter orbiting the sun is hydrogen and helium. When the solar system was just starting to form heat from the sun and the strong solar wind drove most of the hydrogen, helium, and other gasses out of the inner solar system, leaving behind mostly rock and metal, which were much less abundant. The sunlight and solar wind in the outer solar system were much less intense, so these gasses remained in place long enough to become part of the giant planets.
The most obvious difference between the terrestrial and the jovian planets is?
The most obvious difference between terrestrial and jovian planets is their composition. Terrestrial planets are rocky and dense, while jovian planets are mostly composed of gases and lack a solid surface. Additionally, jovian planets are typically larger in size and have extensive ring systems.
Why is the moon made of rocks?
Most of the gasses were swept out of the inner solar system by the solar wind, leaving rock as the most abundant material to form planets and moons.
Which planet do most known extrasolar do most planets resemble?
Jupiter NeptuneThe planet that most extrasolar planets resembles Jupiter.Jupiter(apex)Most of the confirmed Exoplanets are larger gaseous planets with large masses. These are easier to detect and confirm due to their size. They most resemble Jupiter, although many are thought to be much larger than our largest planet.
What are the two most common gasses that make up the atmosphere?
Nitrogen and oxygen.
Do the 4 outer planets have the most gravity?
Yes, the four outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) have the most gravity in our solar system due to their larger size and mass compared to the inner planets. For example, Jupiter, the largest of the planets, has the strongest gravitational force.
What do most planets have revolving around them?
Most planets have at least one moon (or natural satellite), with the exception of Mercury and Venus, which have no moons. The larger outer planets have many moons, Jupiter alone has over 60 named moons.
