Is mercury a tiny cratered planet?
Mercury has a great many craters and is the smallest planet in the solar system, its diameter being about 38 percent of the diameter of Earth but more than double the diameter of the dwarf planet Pluto.
What planets do scientists not consider a major planet?
Pluto. It is considered a dwarf planet but very small compared to others in our solar system
Are all the dwarf planets part of the solar system?
Yes, the dwarf planets are part of the solar system.
What are dwarf planets and are there any in the solar system?
Our solar system has Ceres, Pluto, Eris, Haumea, and Makemake as dwarf planets. A dwarf planet is smaller than a planet had has an orbit that is not clear.
What is difference between Classical planet and a dwarf planet?
Pluto is a Dwarf Planet because it is too small to be a Classical Planet. Dwarf Planets are much smaller than Classical Planets. If you look at a diagram of the solar system with Pluto in it, you will see that it is much smaller compared to the other Classical Planets.
What is the radius of a white dwarf with a mass of 1.5 solar units?
Such a white dwarf could not exist. Above 1.4 solar masses a white dwarf will collapse to form a neutron star.
Which of these objects has the largest radius 1. a 1.2 solar mass white dwarf 2. a 1.5 solar mass neutron star 3. a 3 solar mass blackhole?
Answer is 1
How dos your solar system campare to the size of the milky way galaxy?
When compared to the diameter of the Milky Way galaxy,the diameter of our solar system is very nearly zero.
What planet in our solar system is closest in diameter to Callisto?
Mercury has a diameter of 4879 km compared to Calisto's 4821 km.
Is Jupiter diameter smaller or larger than earth's diameter?
Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system and its diameter is 142,984 kilometres compared to Earth's which is 12,756 kilometres.

Mercury has a great many craters and is the smallest planet in the solar system, its diameter being about 38 percent of the diameter of Earth but more than double the diameter of the dwarf planet Pluto.
What planets do scientists not consider a major planet?
Pluto. It is considered a dwarf planet but very small compared to others in our solar system
What is the smallest type of star?
Saturn has the lowest density of all the planets in our Solar System. It has a density less than water, so it would actually float if you could find a big enough bath. There is a possibility, that there are planets less dense than Saturn outside of our Solar System, but we have yet to find any.
What happens if the mass of a white dwarf reaches the 1.4 solar mass limit?
The white dwarf (which is made mostly of carbon) suddenly detonates carbon fusion and this creates a white dwarf supernova explosion.
How large is Pluto compared to other planets?
The volume of Pluto is 7.5 x 109 km3 or 0.0066 Earths... it would take 151.5 Pluto's to make up the volume of the Earth. Also, the diameter of the earth is 12,756 km and pluto's diameter is 2,296 km, meaning that it would take 5.55 plutos to equal the diameter of the earth.
Are the dwarf planets part of the Solar System?
Yes, the dwarf planets are part of the solar system.
What is the biggest super moon?
The record for the largest moon in the solar system goes to Ganymede at 5268 km in diameter. The Earth's moon by comparison is the 5th largest moon in the solar system at 3474 km in diameter. It is larger that the dwarf planet formerly known as Pluto which has a diameter of 2322 km, but it is smaller than the smallest planet Mercury at 4880 km in diameter.
