What is the middle planet of the eight planets?

If you only count the 8 major planets, then the two middle planets are Mars and Jupiter.If you count all 13 major and dwarf planets, the middle one is Saturn.


What is the general statement that compares the sizes of the terrestrial planets to those of the jovain planets?

The terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) are smaller, denser, and composed primarily of rock and metal. In contrast, the Jovian planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) are much larger, less dense, and predominantly made up of gases such as hydrogen and helium.


Why are larger planets farther from the sun?

they are not. smaller planet can be farther..Initially the sun was surrounded by a disk of gas, it was probably denser towards the middle. The planets formed from this gas. A small fraction of the gas could condense to form rock and metal, which then sank to the centre of the gas planets. The inner planets have had their gas blown away by the solar wind, leaving only the rocky core, perhaps with a thin atmosphere. The Middle planets (Jupiter and Saturn) have kept all their gas and so are much larger. The Outer planets (Uranus, Neptune) formed from part of the original disk that was thinner and so they are somewhat smaller than Jupiter.Beyond Neptune their are only icy remenants, In that region was beyond the main disk that formed the solar system there are only very small (dwarf) planets there.Read more:Why_planets_nearer_to_sun_is_smaller_and_farther_to_sun_is_larger


How is the sun in the middle?

The sun is in the middle of our solar system because it is a large, luminous sphere of hot plasma that exerts gravitational force on all the other objects around it. Its mass and gravitational pull hold the planets, moons, and other objects in orbit around it.


Why do you compare outer planets to inner planets?

Outer planets and inner planets are compared because they have distinct differences in size, composition, and characteristics. Inner planets are smaller, rocky, and denser, while outer planets are larger, gaseous, and have thick atmospheres. Studying these differences helps scientists understand how planets form and evolve in our solar system.

Are the planets that are closer to the sun denser?

Roughly speaking, yes: the four inner planets are quite a lot denser than the four outer planets, which are gas giants. However, note that the densest planet is Earth, which is planet #3.


Do denser planets have larger orbits in the solar system?

no, then inner solid planets are more dense than the outer gas planets

What planet is denser than water?

Mercury is denser than water, with a density of about 5.43 grams per cubic centimeter compared to water's density of 1 gram per cubic centimeter. This makes Mercury one of the densest planets in our solar system.


What planets does not have rings around it?

The planets with rings are typically the gas planets, which are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The rings are usually just substances such as ice, rock, and dust. With that said, the planets without rings are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. Pluto also does not have rings, but it is not an official planet anymore. These planets are all made of more solid rocks and minerals, and they are all smaller than the gas planets, since they are denser.
