What lies in between mars and Jupiter?
Mars and Jupiter have 343 million mi (552 million km) of space between them, so there are lots of things in between the two planets. However, the main thing between Mars and Jupiter is the asteroid belt.
Which 2 planets lie between venus and Jupiter?
Earth and Mars.
Where on your solar system does Pluto lie?
Pluto lies at the back of all the planets but now its not considered as a planet
Smallest planets are near to the sun is this true?
Yes - and no. Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are all small planets and are nearer the sun than the huge gas giants Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. However, there are other minor planets ('planetoids') that are much smaller and lie between Mars and Jupiter and beyond Neptune, Pluto being the nearest of this further group of minor planets. So, if you define a planet to iinclude the planetoids, then the answer is 'no; if the planets do not include planetoids, the answer is 'yes'.
Planets whose orbits lie closer to the sun than the asteroids?
The asteroid belt is located between Mars and Jupiter. The planets closer to the Sun than the asteroid belt are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.
How many number of inner planets?
There are 4, all of which lie between the sun and the asteroid belt. These planets are (from lowest distance from the sun to the highest): Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.
What planets whose orbital planes lie more than 3 degrees from the plane of the sun's equator?
Mercury and Pluto.
What is an object that is smaller than a planet that orbits a star?
The smallest planet in the solar system is Mercury.
What planets are between the asteroid belt and the sun?
The planets that lie between the sun and the asteroid belt are, in order from the innermost to outermost: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, [asteroid belt], Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.
What is in asteroid?
Asteroids are minor planets. They also called planetoids. They are large piece of rocks. They revolve around the sun. In a vast ring between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter most of the asteroids lie.
Is there an asteroid belt between mars and Jupiter?
The order of the planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. However, Pluto the largest known dwarf planet next to Eris, is no longer considered a planet at all. It is now known as the largest member of a distinct region called the Kuniper Belt. Therefor there are officially only 8 planets in our Solar System. There is a region of the solar system located roughly between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter called the asteroid belt . It is occupied with numerous irregular shaped bodies called asteroids or minor planets. Not to be confused with actual planets. Ceres is the only object in the belt large enough for its gravity to force it into a roughly round shape, and so, according to the IAU's 2006 resolution on the definition of a planet, it is now considered a dwarf planet.
Why is Pluto considered a binary system?
Pluto is sometimes referred to as a binary system, because the barycentre of Pluto and it's moon Charon, do not lie within either body. They revolve around a point in space determined by the mass of the planets. See related link for a pictorial
