What are the diameters of the planets in your solar system?
The planet diameters in the Solar system are: Mercury 4,878 kilometers (km) Venus 12,100 km Earth 12, 742 km Mars 6,792 km Jupiter 142,981 km around its equator, and 133,708 km around the north & south poles. Jupiter is made of gas, so its tremendously fast revolution time makes it bulge out around its equator. Saturn 120,536 km at equator and 108,728 km around poles Uranus 51,118 km Neptune 49,500 km There is a little bulge in Uranus and Neptune, but not really enough to report.
Why does the length of day vary from one planet to another?
Because different planets have different diameters and spin at different rates.
Earth's diameter is measured by it distance?
Earths diameters is a straight line through the middle of the Earth. That is how the size of planets is measured.
Can anyone explain why planets go in eliptical orbit why dont they get collided?
Because the diameters of the orbits are different. Some are closer to the sun, others are further out.
How are Inner planets of the solar system different from outer planets?
Inner planets (up until Mars): - are mostly composed of dense rocky material with high melting points; - have small diameters; - have high tempeatures; - take few time to make a complete turn around the sun; - have few or no moons; - all have impact cracters; Outer planets: - are mostly composed of gases; - have very large diameters (compared to the inner planets); - have low temperatures; - take a long time to make a complete turn around the sun; - generally have several moons; - no impact craters known (so far since no one as made it to the rocky core of these planets).
How many diameters are around Pluto?
Spheres only have one diameter. Planets are a little different than spheres in that they tend to bulge at the equator, so the size of their diameter depends on where you measure it. Planets are usually measured along the equator, but you could measure them in an infinite number of places.
Which planets have very small diameters?
The four inner, rocky planets are also known as the terrestrial planets. These are; Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. These have much smaller diameters than the outer gas giant planets. The smallest is Mercury, with a diameter of 4879km or 3032 miles.
Inner planets have large diameters like those of the gas giants?
Not in our solar system. The inner planets are smaller.
What is a measurement that astronomers would make in kilometers?
Diameters of planets, planetoids, or moons are often expressed in kilometers.Diameters of planets, planetoids, or moons are often expressed in kilometers.Diameters of planets, planetoids, or moons are often expressed in kilometers.Diameters of planets, planetoids, or moons are often expressed in kilometers.
How bigs Uranus?
Based on classification by size, Uranus is one of the giant planets or gas giants. The other three giants planets are Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune. These gas giants all have diameters greater than 48000 kilometers. The other planets four planets are called the small planets. The small planets all have diameters less than 13000 kilometers.
What are the diameters of all the planets?
if you want to find out please go to the space and use the ruler
What terrestrial planets have diameters nearly close in size?
Earth and Venus are close in diameter.
If you add the diameters of all the planets in space together what does it equal?
Nothing - no really nothing at all.
How do you plot a bar-chart of the diameters of the planets?
Open Excel.Put the diameters of the planets in a column (see related questions).Highlight the list of planet diameters.Run the chart wizard or select chart from the insert ribbon.Select Bar Chart.Place your chart on the page where you like.Modify the chart as you like.Enjoy.

How long is Uranus?
The planet Uranus is about 51,160 km wide at its equator.. pretty close to 8 earth diameters across.
Why does the length of day vary from one planet to another?
Because different planets have different diameters and spin at different rates.
