What else can I help you with?
How many planets are nearer to the sun than the earth is?
There are 2 planets closer to the Sun from the Earth
Can you see the phases of any planets from Earth?
Yes, some planets in our solar system, like Venus and Mars, exhibit phases when observed from Earth. These phases are caused by the changing relative positions of the planets and the Sun as viewed from Earth. Mercury and Venus can display crescent phases, while Mars can show gibbous phases.
Does Mercury have any phases?
Yes, all of the planets in from the earth display phases when viewed form earth.
What 2 planets have a faster orbital velocity than earth?
Any planets that are nearer to the sun than the earth is. The two known ones are Mercury and Venus.
What other planets are nearer the sun than planet earth?
Mercury and Venus are closer to the Sun than Earth.
Why does a satellite travel at a greater speed when it is closest to earth?
The gravity is greater the nearer to Earth you go. The same is true for all planets.
What are the 5 most visible planets and which ones can appear in phases similar to lunar phases and which ones can not?
-- The six planets visible to the unaided eye are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. -- The Earth displays no phases at all. -- All of the remaining five can display gibbous and nearly 'quarter' phases. -- Only Mercury and Venus can display crescent phases.
What is the difference of the formation of the inner and outer planets?
The main difference is that the inner planets are smaller and are nearer the sun te outer planets are after the earth starting with Mars and ending with Pluto.
What Kind Of Phases Does Neptune go Through?
I am not aware of any. It does not go through "crescent" and "half" phases like our moon, because it is beyond earth's orbit, so it cannot have (from our view) "phases". And in and of itself, Neptune is one of the most featureless and uninteresting planets to view, much like Uranus.
What did the phases of venus suggest about the motion of all planets?
The phases of Venus, observed by Galileo, provided crucial evidence for the heliocentric model of the solar system, which posits that planets orbit the Sun. These phases, resembling the phases of the Moon, indicated that Venus orbits the Sun and not the Earth, as they would not occur if Venus were to revolve around the Earth. This observation supported the idea that all planets, including Earth, move in relation to the Sun, fundamentally changing our understanding of the cosmos. Ultimately, it reinforced the notion that the Sun is at the center of our solar system, with planets, including Earth, orbiting around it.
What planets are seen in phases like the moon?
Both Mercury and Venus, being closer to the sun than us, will show phases. When Venus is at is brightest it is generally just a bit over half full. If you were on Mars, you would note phases on earth.
How many phases of the moon?
There are 8 phases of the moon that are visiable to Earth on different planets example Saturn they have 30+. On Earth there are only 8 that have be discovered and posibly yet more to come.......
