In most cases they just appear to cross the sky in one direction. But the outer planets can sometime appear to go forward, then backward, then forward again over a period of time. To visualizer this affect, look away from where you are standing and imagine you are the earth and you are looking at a planet out in front of you. Because it is an outer planet, it takes longer to go around the sun and not all the planets have the same orbital speed. Now, as you pass the outer planet it will appear to rise and move across your line of site. As you pull away and the outer planet is located on the other side of the sun, it will appear to move across your field of vision in the opposite direction. When it comes back around, it will slowly start to move forward again. There are days when I have a lot time on my hands.
If by gas you mean an atmosphere, there are no planets with an atmosphere anywhere similar to Earth.
Next after Earth is Mars, then the four "outer planets": Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
The Earth's diameter of 8000 miles compares with 33,000-88,000 miles for the four outer planets.
The earth orbits the sun between the planets Venus and Mars. The other five planets are farther out than Mars. The closest earth gets to Venus is 23.7 million miles. The closest earth gets to Mars is 36.4 million miles.
The Moon is a lot smaller then the Earth.
Other planets appear shiny from Earth for the same reason the moon does, we see the other planets' reflected sunlight.
All planets except Mercury can appear 50 degrees from the Sun.
Superior planets (those outside Earth's orbit) appear brightest when they are at opposition, which is when they are on the opposite side of Earth from the Sun. This is when they are closest to Earth and fully illuminated by the Sun.
The planets appear small from Earth because of their great distance from us. Even though they are large celestial bodies, their size pales in comparison to the vastness of space. Our perspective from Earth makes them appear small in the night sky.
The Moon, Sun and planets all appear in a strip of sky called the ecliptic. It is a plane defined by the plane of the Earth's orbit and the Sun is always on the ecliptic, while the Moon and planets stay close to it.
Because the Earth and all the planets move in orbits round the Sun, while the stars appear to be fixed if we disregard the Earth's daily rotation.
Planets appear to move across the sky's star patterns due to the Earth's orbit around the Sun. As we observe other planets from Earth, we are also moving in our orbit, causing the apparent motion of planets against the backdrop of fixed stars. This is known as planetary motion or retrograde motion, depending on the relative positions of Earth and the other planet.
no thunder does not appear in other planets
i guess they are earth, uranus and neptune coz their coloured blue
Mercury and Venus are the only planets that can transit the Sun, from where I am.
The five planets that can appear within 50 degrees of the Sun from Earth are Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Uranus and Neptune are typically too far from the Sun to appear within this range due to their positions in the outer solar system.
the planets orbit the Sun at varying speeds, causing them to appear to move against the fixed backdrop of stars as seen from Earth. This apparent motion is due to the Earth's own movement around the Sun, which creates the illusion of planets traversing the sky over time.
