Is the space around the planets near the sun heated?
no because the atmosphere is what stores the heat
What is the role of the sun to the different planets?
Within the Sun, nuclear fusion between hydrogen and helium takes place, giving off enormous amounts of energy. This energy is released in the form of radiation, which travels through the vacuum of space and reaches planets.
What is the sun spot cycle?
This cycle is when the sun heats up the spots on the planets and certin spots get heated on the different planets and the planet has random temperature changes. the sun repedietly goes through this cycle while hiting the same spots on earth as the earth spins around.
What is sun-heated?
It means something that is heated by the sun or left out in the sun to dry.
Does the sun orbit the planets or do the planets orbit the sun?
The planets orbit the Sun. The Sun is at the center of our solar system and does not move.
Why do the inner planets have more of the lighter elements like hydrogen and helium gas like the outer planets do?
The Sun and its planets formed form a huge cloud (disk) of dust which contained both light and heavy elements, but there were more light elements (hydrogen) than heavy. As the disk coalesced into the sun and planets the areas close to the young sun were too hot (heated by the sun) for the light elements to condense and settle onto the young inner planets which are therefore rocky, while the outer planets being further from the sun did accumulate the lighter and more volatile elements. However in the centers of the giant planets there are rocky (heavy) cores.
Does the sun travel around the planets or do the planets travel around the sun?
The planets travel around the sun.
How many moons do the suns have?
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.
Does the sun orbit the planets?
No. The planets orbit the Sun and the Sun orbits itself.
Are the planets like moons to the sun?
The planets are satellites of the sun. The moons are satellites of the planets. The moons revolve around the planets captured by their gravity, while the planets revolve around the sun captured by its gravity and the sun.
How does gravity between the sun and planets control the path the planets make around the sun?
The sizes of the Sun and planets determine the strength of gravitational pull of the planets on each other and the Sun. The Sun's mass is so great that the planets can't escape from the Sun's pull and so as the planets are moving by the Sun pulls them back into orbit.
What pulls the planets to the sun?
The sun's gravity pulls the planets.
