What other than the sun moves around the solar system?
Because of the immense mass of the Sun it doesn't really do much movement and couldn't be said to move around the solar system. The planets, however, do orbit around it (or more correctly, around a common center of mass with the Sun) as do most asteroids, minor planets, comets, etc.
Who was more accurate Ptolemy or Copernicus?
Copernicus was correct in believing in the heliocentric model of the Solar System, which said the planets rotated round the sun. Ptolemy accepted the traditional geocentric view which had the Earth at the centre of the Solar System.
When will the twelfth planet enter the solar system?
if i said tomorrow, ten years later or 300million years after would it really matter :D have fun, n dont worry abt other planets :)
Which scientist said that the sun is the centre of the solar system?
Nicolaus Copernicus!
What kind of planet would you expct to have the thickest lithosphere?
Earth and Venus because they have the most internal heat
Is there more planets in the solar system?
This is an ongoing study, but it has been said that there has been sightings of another planet in the solar system.
How are all of the planets in the solar system held?
My teacher Mrs. Black said before that it was gravity that holds the planets together in space.
Are the inner planets small or big?
Small, considering the rest of the planets. But in actuality they are large. As said before, in accordance with the rest of the planets in our Solar system, yes they are small.
What are the differences between planets and comets?
Comets are small solar system bodies that orbit around the Sun. They are not planets because NASA said so.
Is there life on any planets in your solar system?
Actually, there is said to be life on Mars. And, obviously, there's this planet, Earth.
What is the main difference between geocentric and helicentric models of the solar system?
Geocentric model that was prevalent in the middle ages said that the Earth was in the center of the solar system (in fact of the universe) and all other planets revolved around it. Modern science says that in the solar system the Sun is at the center and all its planets revolve around it.
What solar system is pluto in?
"Sol" is a really old name for our sun. Therefore, our sun and all the planets, asteroids, comets, and planetoids are said to be in the SOL-ar system. The Solar system that we live in is the only one with that name.
Should you include Pluto in your solar system diagram?

Nicolaus Copernicus established the first full theory of a heliocentric model of the solar system.
Are there any gas planets in our solar system?
Yes, there are four gas planets:JupiterSaturnUranusNeptuneThe other four planets are known as terrestrial planets. The gas giants in our Solar System are also called the outer planets because they are the four planets in the Solar System furthest from the Sun. Gas planets are a category of planets without any solid metals or rock. Gas planets are also referred to as gas giants, giant planets, and Jovian planets. Since gas planets do not have a solid surface, you would not be able to walk on them. Gas planets are said to have a rocky center; however, that term is somewhat misleading. Scientists believe that due to the high temperatures and extreme pressures in the center of gas planets their rocky centers are actually liquid metal or rock. Thus, the density of the gas planets simply increases as you go deeper to the center.
What types of bodies make up the solar system?
Our solar system has a sun in the middle, planets circling the sun, moons circling the planets, and asteroids circling the sun. There are also comets circling the sun in a much larger orbit than the planets.
