What gives heat and light to all the planets?

The Sun is the primary source of heat and light for all the planets in our solar system. It emits energy through nuclear fusion reactions in its core, which produces heat and light that reach all the planets, including Earth.


Do all the planets have a core?

Yes Pluto has a core. It is believed that it's rocky material would have settled into a dense core surrounded by a mantle of ice. The diameter of the core should be around 1,700 km, 70% of Pluto's diameter.


Are the inner planets made of rocks?

All the inner planets are rocky or terrestrial planets.


What type of core does Jupiter have?

Jupiter has a rock and metal core the same size as Earth's core. However, due to the intense pressures of Jupiter's, it's core is about 10 times heavier than Earth's core. It's position in the early Solar System, which was further from the Sun than the small inner planets like Earth, Mars and Venus allowed it to accrete more matter because it was beyond the frost line. The frost line was a point at which hydrogen compounds could condense. These condensed materials were then available to become part of the outer planets. It also explains why these planets are more gaseous and less dense than the inner planets, where only rocks and heavier metals could condense in the intense heat of the sun. That is why there are rocky planets nearer the Sun and gas giants further out.


What is the most metal rich terrestrial planet?

Mercury is considered the most metal-rich terrestrial planet in our solar system, with a core composed mainly of iron and nickel. Its high metal content is believed to be due to intense bombardment during the early stages of planetary formation.

Do all planets have liquid metal in the core?

no, because liquid metal is usually created through electromagnetic fields or friction.


Do all planets have a molten core that has liquid metal?

Only the Earth is known to have a core that includes liquid metal.However, Jupiter and Saturn do have regions composed of metallic liquid hydrogen. Also, there is some evidence that Mercury and Venus may have liquid metal in their cores. Mars may have some liquid metallic sulfide in its core.


What do all planets have?

All planets have a core.


Are all planets made of metal?

No, but they all seem to have metal cores. Minor planets are not so consistent.


Do all planets have a hot core?

yes


Does Jupiter have a rock or solid core?

Yes, Jupiter is believed to have a dense core of rock and metal about the size of Earth. This core is thought to be surrounded by a thick layer of metallic hydrogen, followed by a gaseous outer layer.

How they are alike inner planets and outer planets?

They are alike because they are both called planets, both terrestrial planets and gas giants are spheres, all have a somewhat dense core and lastly all orbit around the sun.


Do all the planets have a core?

What evidence led the conclusion that earth core is made of solid iron?

The effect that Earth's gravity has on other planets and the sun can be calculated. This degree of gravity that is demonstrated points to a heavy core that is metal. Fragments of nickel-iron meteorites that are remnants of planetary collisions also indicate that other planets have a nickel-iron core.


What planets are rock planets that the just the planets core made from rock?

there are 9 planets


What are the similarities of Venus, Earth, and Mars?

Very little, 4 completely different Planets, about the only similarity is that they are made of rock and have an inner core of metal.
