Why are extrasolar planets more massive than earth?
Most of the known extrasolar planets are more massive than Earth because massive planets are easier to detect. We have detected planets smaller than Earth.
Why do the the positions of the moons stars and planets in the night sky?
The positions of moons, stars, and planets in the night sky are determined by their orbits and the relative motion of celestial bodies. As Earth rotates on its axis and orbits the Sun, we observe different celestial configurations throughout the night and across seasons. Additionally, the gravitational interactions between these bodies influence their paths, leading to phenomena such as retrograde motion in planets. Overall, the night sky is a dynamic display shaped by the complex movements of celestial objects.
Is it easier to observe the stars from earth or moon?
it depends on what time of year it is and which stars you want to view seeing as it is hard to get a strong telescope to the moon... i would say Earth
Why do planets appear to move across the sky's star patterns?
Planets appear to move across the sky's star patterns due to the Earth's orbit around the Sun. As we observe other planets from Earth, we are also moving in our orbit, causing the apparent motion of planets against the backdrop of fixed stars. This is known as planetary motion or retrograde motion, depending on the relative positions of Earth and the other planet.
Most known extrasolar planets are more massive than Jupiter because?
Most known extrasolar planets are more massive than Jupiter because they are easier to detect with current technology. More massive planets exert a stronger gravitational pull on their parent stars, causing a more noticeable wobble or dimming of light that can be detected. Smaller planets like Earth are harder to observe due to their smaller size and weaker gravitational influence.
How many planets in the Earth?
The earth is a planet, it has no known planets within.
What planets are there around the Earth?
There are no planets orbiting Earth.
How many planets does Earth have?
Earth has no planets of its own. It is one and has one moon.
Why have an lunar eclipse?
It happens when the earth blocks the sunlight from reaching the moon and the sun's shadow shows on the moon. The moon is an orangey color and it is much easier to observe.
Why you can see other planets and the moon?
You can see the other planets and the moon (at night), because like the Earth, they all reflect light from the Sun.
How fast do the planets orbit the earth?
The planets do not orbit the Earth, they orbit the sun.
Which planets are the inner planets?
The four inner, rocky planets (also known as the terrestrial planets) are; Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars
