One fact that makes Neptune special from the other planets?
its the last of the eight planets. and the farthest with the coldest moon in the solar system
What makes the moon and a planet alike?
Both moons and planets are objects in space that orbit a larger body.
What cause planets to orbit the sun?
i know only one and it's a good one, the sun's gravity pulls the planets from flying some where else EDIT: Gravity pulls objects together and angular momentum makes sure planets orbit
What makes stars and planets?
The Solar System Makes the planets and the Stars.
What two things cause planets to orbit the sun?
i know only one and it's a good one, the sun's gravity pulls the planets from flying some where else EDIT: Gravity pulls objects together and angular momentum makes sure planets orbit
Is the perimeter of a planet's orbit determined by how big or small it is or how hot the sun makes the planets?
NO, the orbit of any planet or moon is determined by the size of the two objects involved (example: the Earth and the Sun) and the distance between those two objects: the closer the objects are to each other and the bigger one of the objects is, the stronger the gravitational pull ( large objects have stronger forces on other smaller objects). The orbit of a planet has nothing to do with the Sun's heat.
Why planets not speed away as they revolve around the sun?
The planets maintain their orbit around the sun because of the gravitational attraction between the sun and the planet. All massive objects have an attraction to each other (the force is proportional to the product of the two masses divided by the square of the distance between them). Planets in orbit are in balance between the law of momentum which makes them tend to go in straight line and the gravitational law which makes then tend to accelerate into the sun.
How many planets have been found?
There are 464 extrasolar planets, and 8 planets within our Solar System. This makes a total of 470 known planets.
What makes planets living?
what makes a plante living is if it has living organisms on it
What effect do sunspots have on planets?
It makes them hotter.
What makes a planet be classified as a dwarf planet instead of a moon?
Moons orbit planets. Planets (and dwarf planets) orbit stars.
What makes your solar system?
the planets, ateroids, smaller bodies, that dont qualify as planets. thats sad. and our sun. that is what makes up our solar system.
