There are three main reasons for this phenomenon:

1). Those objects exist.

2). Technology has advanced to the level capable of identifying them.

3). Astronomers are looking for them.

Jupiter is the fifth planet in order from the sun. Jupiter is a gas giant, with 11 times the diameter of Earth, and two and a half times the mass of all the other planets and satellites combined!


what Scientists refer to half of the planets as inner planets because they are relatively close to the Sun. They refer to the other half as outer planets. Using the data in the table, classify the planets into one of the two groups.?

One-half of eight is four. So, there are four inner planets and four outer planets. According to the distances in the table, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are inner planets. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are outer planets.

Is Jupiter a planet?

YES. Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and the largest planet within the Solar System. It is two and a half times as massive as all of the other planets in our Solar System combined. Jupiter is classified as a gas giant, along with Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Together, these four planets are sometimes referred to as the Jovian planets. The planet was known by astronomers of ancient times and was associated with the mythology and religious beliefs of many cultures. The Romans named the planet after the Roman god Jupiter. When viewed from Earth, Jupiter can reach an apparent magnitude of −2.8, making it the third brightest object in the night sky after the Moon and Venus. (However, at certain points in its orbit, Mars can briefly exceed Jupiter's brightness.) Yes yes! Jupiter is a planet and it goes in this order: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, (those were the inner planets and now are the outer planets.)Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and if Pluto were a planet it would be last but you should remember that it is not. Also try to always know,understand, and learn your vocabularys.
