What is the relationship between the size of planet and their distances from the sun?

The size of a planet does not have any relevance with its distance from the sun.
They are all dependent on the evolution after big bang which is a reference of their origin
>
mass / distance between / orbital velocity / gravity / centripetal force
The (equal) force due to gravity on the planet and the sun is calculated from:
f = (G * m1 * m2) / d2
key:
f = force (newtons)
G = newtons gravity constant
m1 = sun mass (kg)
m2 = planet mass (kg)
d = distance between centres of gravity (metres)
The force due to centripetal action must equal the force of gravity, and only the one orbital velocity will provide this.
orbital velocity (metres per second) = square root ( ( G * m2 ) / d )
Its a fairly remote occurrence where all the (coincident) criteria are met, accounting for the large amount of space and the rarity of planets.

∙ 12y agobecause it is the important thing that's why we are so far to the sun..so it will not bring us more heat. to our planets..

∙ 7y agoThe sizes of the planets are generally larger farther from the Sun, especially since thick gaseous atmospheres are retained at a lower level of solar heating. The mechanism by which large planets predominate at a greater distance, and are much farther apart, is not well understood and may exist in few solar systems rather than being the rule. It is generally assumed that the planets coalesced from a protoplanetary disk of material of varying thickness.

∙ 7y agoThe four inner planets are small rocky worlds whereas the outer four are gas giants. But, the largest of the gas giants is the innermost of the four. Also, all this is only after the outermost and smallest, Pluto, was judged not to be a proper planet but a dwarf planet. There are other dwarf planets further away from the sun. So clearly, there is no simple relationship.

∙ 11y agoThe speed at which a planet orbit decreases with distance from the sun, and this is due to the decreased effect of gravity from the sun with distance.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoNo. It just so happens that the outer planets (farther from the sun) are gas planets which are usually bigger.
Wiki User
∙ 7y agoNo. The gravity on a planet depends on its size and mass.

∙ 8y agoThe distance from the Sun IS the radius of the orbit - your question, as phrased is meaningless.

Is there a relationship between the distance a planet is from the sun and its surface gravity?
No. The strength of surface gravity on a planet depends on its size and mass.
Is there a relationship between planet size and weight?
Yes, but the planet's density also plays a role.Yes, but the planet's density also plays a role.Yes, but the planet's density also plays a role.Yes, but the planet's density also plays a role.
The size of a planet's orbit is determined by?
The mass of the planet, the mass of the sun and the distance between the two.
Which mathematical statement shows the relationship between gravity and mass?
There is a mathematical relationship between gravity and weight not mass. Mass is some thing that you always have, it doesn't change. But weight is determined by the size of the planet that they are on, bigger planets like Saturn and Jupiter get more gravity therefore making a person's weight differ
Which planet is the typical size planet?
There isn't a typical size planet
Is there a relationship between the distance a planet is from the sun and its surface gravity?
No. The strength of surface gravity on a planet depends on its size and mass.
The relationship between the size of an area on a map and its actual size on the earth's surface is called the?
scale of the map. The scale of a map can be represented as a ratio, such as 1:10,000, indicating how much the distances on the map are reduced from the actual distances on the earth's surface.
Why might you say the solar system is mostly 'empty space'?
Everything is mostly space. The diameter of the sun is 865 thousand miles, which is a bit under a million. The radius of the earth's orbit is 93 million miles, almost 100 million. Sedna, which isn't even outside the solar system, orbits 900 times as far (currently).

What is the relationship between grain size and strength in metal?
the relationship between grain size and strength can be determined by the Hall- Patch relationship of Strength of materials.

Find the relationship between internal efficiency and school size?
What is the relationship between the size and weight of an object and the amount of friction that is present?
Because the size is a kintec force on it
Is there a relationship between shoe size and under pant size?
No, they are unrelated.
What is the relationship between size and temperature?
Temperature influences glacier size.
Why does mercury has an average density thst is close to earth. even though mercury is a much a smaller planet?
Why shouldn't it? There isn't a direct relationship between density and size in general.
What is a scale bar in social studies?
A scale bar in social studies is used to represent the relationship between distances on a map and the actual physical distances on the Earth's surface. It allows map readers to accurately determine the size and distances between locations depicted on the map. It helps in understanding the spatial context of geographical features and locations.
Which cartographic device when deployed on a map will tell you its scale?
A scale bar is a cartographic device that is typically included on a map to show the relationship between distances on the map and actual distances on the Earth's surface. This allows users to determine the size and dimensions of features represented on the map.
