What is the difference between dwarf planets and regular planets?
Dwarf planets are smaller than regular planets. Dwarf planets are smaller than the 8 major planets of our solar system. They are not quite planets as they have not cleared their orbit of sufficient matter. They are roughly spherical in shape and orbit the sun directly, so fulfil these two criteria, but have not achieved the third (sufficiently clearing their orbits).
How many planets have two moons?
Only Mars has two moons. The other planets have either one moon, no moons, or many moons.
Do many people think that moons are smaller than planets?
Generally speaking moons are smaller than planets. The only exceptions are the two largest moons in this solar system, Ganymede and Titan, which are larger than Mercury, the smallest planet in the solar system.
Is Triton a moon of Neptune and Saturn?
No. A moon cannot belong to two different planets. Triton is the largest moon of Neptune. It is sometimes confused with Titan, the largest moon of Saturn.
How many planets are smaller than Saturn?
6 Saturn is the second largest planet after Jupiter
What two planets are almost the same size?
Mercury and Mars are the two planets that are almost the same size in our solar system. Both planets have a similar diameter, with Mercury being just slightly smaller than Mars.
How does venus rank in the largest plants in the solar system?
Venus is the sixth-largest planet in our solar system, preceded by Earth, and proceeded by Mars. There are twelve smaller planets (ten dwarf planets, two terrestrial planets) than Venus in the system, and five larger planets (two gas giants, two ice giants, one terrestrial planet) than Venus.
What two planets can never be more than 47 degree from the Sun?
47 degrees is the max for Venus, Mercury has a limit that is smaller.
What was Triton's symbol?
He has two. One is a trident (like a pitchfork), and one is a twisted conch shell.
Are the inner planets smaller then the outer planets?
Yes, inner planets are generally smaller in size compared to outer planets. Inner planets, also known as terrestrial planets, are made mainly of rock and metal, while outer planets, also known as gas giants, are predominantly composed of gases like hydrogen and helium. This difference in composition contributes to the varying sizes between the two groups.
What are the closest two objects to Neptune?
Neptune's closest objects are its largest moon Triton and the dwarf planet Eris. Triton is a significant moon with a retrograde orbit, while Eris is one of the largest known dwarf planets in our solar system.
Is Earth bigger than Triton?
Triton is the sixteenth largest object in our solar system. It is not larger than any planet, however it is larger than all of the dwarf planets. There are two moons that are bigger than mercury (Diameter wise but not mass wise) and they are Ganymede and Titan. See related link for more information
