Who calculated that more distant planets orbit the sun more slowly?
Johannes Kepler
What planets are referred to as inner planets?
The solar system can be divided in two parts, by the asteroid belt. The planets that are closer to the sun than the asteroid belt are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. These are the inner planets. The planets more distant from the sun than the asteroid belt are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Those are the outer planets. And even farther out are the dwarf planets and comets.
Why are gas giants more oblate than terrestrial planets?
Gas planets are just that - gaseous. This means they are less dense, and more susceptible to centripetal forces. Gas planets also have a tendency to have a faster rotation speed due in part to their large mass. The result is slightly oblate spheroids.
What are the closest to the farthest planets from the sun in order?
Starting closest to the sun, we have Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and the dwarf planet Pluto which you may or may not wish to include (there are also other, more distant dwarf planets including Eris and Sedna).
Do smaller planets have more moons?
No. Larger planets have more moons.
What are the distant planets?
They're all distant. The gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn) are more distant than the inner planets (Mars, Venus). Exoplanets (planets around other stars are even (far) more distant.
Who calculated that more distant planets orbit the sun more slowly?
Johannes Kepler
What happens to sound waves as they move away from the source of the sound?
They get distant and more quieter
Why is it easier to see the motions of planets than to see the motions of stars?
Planets are a lot closer, so their apparent motion is a lot more noticeable. If you stand on a hill and look at a distant highway, the cars may seem to be barely moving; your friend walking nearby (at a much slower speed) will appear to be moving much faster.
What is a here-and-now argument?
What happens now or in the near future is more important to most people than what happens in the distant future.
What happens to the length of planet year as you move away from the sun?
The more distant the orbit, the longer the year.

Why do the jovian planet interiors differ?
Accretion took longer further from the Sun, so the more distant planets formed their cores later and captured less gas from the solar nebula than the closer jovian planets.
Two planets in a distant solar systems have the radius but different masses on which world would you weigh more?
If they have the same radius but different masses, then you wouldweigh more on the planet with the larger mass.
Who issues alien visa cards?
the people from mars, venus, Jupiter or more distant planets like ZargonB, Krypton, klingon or the planet where the chupacabras comes from

How are other planets different?
The other planets are different from the earth in various ways. This includes distances from the sun, size, rotational speed, element composition and so much more.
