How many planets does Earth's moon have?
Earth's Moon has no planets, unless you consider Earth to be the Moon's planet. A planet is defined as an object revolving around the Sun that is large enough to form itself into a sphere from the force of gravity, and yet not be so large as to create fusion like the Sun. It also must clear its orbit of other dust and debris. A moon, on the other hand, is an object that revolves around a planet.
Is Pluto a dwarf planet because it doesn't have gravity?
No. Pluto has gravity. It is considered a dwarf planet because it is unable to clear its orbital path of debris.
What is the the opposite of transition metals?
Not clear: 'opposite' in respect to WHAT? NON-transition metals is not a defined group of elements.
How do gravity and inertia work together in the solar system?
The Earth's gravity is trying to pull the Moon towards the Earth. However, the Moon has inertia. It is trying to move in a straight line. If the Moon had no "sideways" velocity it would fall onto the Earth. In fact the Earth's gravity is needed just to bend the direction of the Moon's path and make the Moon orbit the Earth instead of flying off into space. This becomes clear if you do the mathematics, but that's the basic idea.
Why are mercury venus earth and mars all called terrestrial planets?
It's because they have a terrain. They have a clear and well defined rocky landscape for their surface. The outer gas planets don't have a well defined surface, just gas that gets thicker and denser.
What is a body in orbit around the sun that has a defined sufficient mass gravity and clear orbit?
A planet.
What is a body body in orbit around the sun that has defined sufficient mass gravity and a clear orbit?
A planet.
As of 2006 what is a body in orbit around the sun that has a defined sufficient mass gravity and a clear orbit?
In 2006, a planet became defined as a body orbiting the Sun that has a mass of self gravity sufficient enough to make it nearly round, and has a clear orbit. A+ planet
Why aren't the planets in different shapes?
The planets mass creates gravity which pulls it into a spherical shape. This is the difference between planets and other heavenly bodies such as moons and asteroids. To be defined as a planet, a body must have enough gravity to pull itself into a spherical shape and it's gravity must be sufficient to clear its area of other debris.
What property of a planet determines if the planet can have an atmosphere?
The mass of the planet. It's not clear cut, since there has to be gas around in the area to provide the atmosphere, but the planet (or moon) need to be massive enough to provide sufficient gravity for the gas molecules not to escape into space.
If I have sufficient water what color will my urine be?

What is clear in c plus plus?
clear() is an inbuilt function defined in c++ defined in conio.h. It is used for clearing the console. The systax is:clear();
What visions are defined as a early warning vision clear investigative peripheral or cone?
clear
Can you use pressure to clear out a heater core?
Water pressure from a garden hose is sufficient.
What is a sentence for the word gravity?
Gravity doesn't let humans fly because our bones are too heavy. The gravity of the disaster was made clear by the number of homeless victims.
How do you do 49 in math?
It is not clear what you mean by "do". 49 can be defined as the successor to 48.
