What is the name of the cluster that planet earth is in?
Planet earth is not in any of the approximately 150 globular clusters which are known to exist in our galaxy, the Milky Way. Our solar system is on one of the spiral arms of the Milky Way.
What is the global address of the Earth?
MIlky Way galaxie, third planet from the sun
Which planet orbits nearest to earth?
It's hard to answer this question because it changes, depending on the positions of the planets in their orbits.Venus can get closer to Earth than any other planet, but that doesn't mean it's always the closest. The orbit of Venus averages about 41 million kilometers (25.5 million miles) closer to the Sun than Earth. The orbit of Mars averages about 79 million kilometers (49 million miles) farther out than Earth.At any given time, Venus or Mars (or very, very rarely, Mercury) might be the closest planet to Earth.
Why does the Earth have an atmosphere while other planets do not?
AnswerThe truth is, the other planets DO have atmospheres.Planets other than Earth have gases surrounding the planet just like we do here. However, the types and/or quantities of gases in the atmospheres of other planets are simply not capable of supporting life like Earth is for one reason or another.Venus, for example, has an atmosphere extremely rich in greenhouse gases such as Carbon Dioxide. Because of this, Venus is a VERY hot planet from all the solar radiation that is constantly beaming onto the planet with no way to escape.Venus is not hot though find out more on wikipedia
Is the planet Earth in Milky Way galaxy?
Yes. It is not like the Earth owns the Milky Way but some of us Earthlings call the galaxy in which the solar system resides (with the Earth) for The Milky Way [Swedes call it "Vintergatan" (the Winter Road)]
Is the earth a galaxy?
...only as a metaphor. The Earth is a planet that is in the Milky Way galaxy. The Earth is not a galaxy. No, the Earth is a planet which orbits the Sun (which is a star) along with several other plants, this is called the solar system. Our Sun and its planets along with millions of other stars form a galaxy called The Milky Way.
Does mars tilt and which way does it orbit?
Well it orbits just the way any other planet does
How does the orbits effect the way planets move?
Orbits help a planet move because of gravitational pull which makes the planet orbit round and round. The planets orbit around the son and the moon orbits around earth. Hope this helps!
Why is the moon called a satellite of earth?
A satellite is an object that orbits around a planet or body in space. There are artificial satellites and natural satellites. An artificial satellite is an object, like a space station, that has been set into orbit around a planet by humans. A natural satellite naturally finds its way into close orbit around a planet, like the moon naturally orbits the Earth.
What are the different way the earth move?
The earth turns on its axis; it orbits around the earth-moon barycenter; it orbits around the sun.
How do planets stay in orbit around the moon?
the moon orbits around the planet, not the other way around; gravity keeps it orbiting
Which of the earth sun and moon orbits which?
The Sun as it's the only body in the Solar System that is undergoing nuclear fusion.
How does a satellite orbit earth?
Same way Luna (the moon) orbits Earth; gravity.
What planet would you pass on the way to Uranus?
The orbits of Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are between Earth and Uranus. However, it depends on where in their orbits they actually are at the time as to whether you would pass them. If Uranus was on the same side of the sun as us, and the others were on the other side, although we would cross their orbits, we might not actually pass them. It is also possible, depending on where Uranus is at the time, that we might even have to pass through the orbits of Venus and Mercury if we were doing a direct route to Uranus and it was on the other side of the sun.
What does the earth orbit around?
The Earth orbits the Sun The Sun orbits around the galactic center. The Milky Way galaxy moves with a group of other galaxies (called the Local Group) towards an unknown mass called The Great Attractor
Earth is the what planet in the universe?
Earth is the third planet from out sun, but there is no way of ordering Earth with planets in the entire universe as there are other solar systems. Scientists can only make an educated guess as to how many.
How far the planet to the Milky Way?
the planet earth is in our Galaxy The milky way
