What else can I help you with?
Which of the following best illustrates the role that gravity played in the formation of your solar system?
Gravity compresses gases at the center of a solar nebula until temperatures are high enough for nuclear fusion to occur.
Which two forces of a result is the orbit of the planet?
The two forces that result in the orbit of a planet are gravitational force, which pulls the planet towards the center of the star it is orbiting, and the planet's tangential velocity, which keeps it moving in a curved path around the star. These two forces are perfectly balanced in a stable orbit.
Why do small planets have little atmosphere or no atmosphere?
The rocky or terrestrial planets have less atmosphere (but more breathable atmosphere) than the gas giants have, for two reasons. First, they are smaller, and therefore have weaker gravitational fields, which makes it easier for gas to leak away into space, and secondly, they are closer to the sun and therefore hotter, and the additional heat causes gas to expand, thus also contributing to its escape into space.
What is the full form of planet?
The word planet is in its full form.
Scientists theorize that the asteroid belt did not form a planet because?
the gravitational forces from Jupiter's powerful gravity disrupted the process of planet formation in the asteroid belt region. This prevented the mass of material in the asteroid belt from coalescing into a planet. Additionally, the gravitational interactions between Jupiter and the material in the asteroid belt prevented a single planet from forming.
How will you show that gases are dissolved in water?
we can show that gases are dissolved in water by showing the gas escaping in the form of bubbles.
WHAT GRAVITY KEEPS THE PLANET FROM COLLIDING?
Force of gravity is what keeps the planets form colliding.
If global warming is happening how is it warming the planet?
The sun's rays (ultraviolet radiation) come through the atmosphere and warm the surface of the earth. This warmth rises in the form of infrared radiation into the atmosphere, where it is trapped by greenhouse gases. These are gases like carbon dioxide, methane and water vapour. The warmed gases spread the heat around and prevent it escaping into space. This is how global warming is warming the planet.
Why don't asteroids have atmospheres?
Asteroids are too small to have enough gravity to prevent any atmosphere form escaping.
What is one good hypothesis why the asteroids did not form a planet?
jupeters gravity disrupted their formation
Scientist theorize that the asteroid belt did not form a planet because of what?
Scientists theorize that the asteroid belt did not form a planet due to the gravitational influence of Jupiter disrupting planet formation. Jupiter's strong gravity prevented the material in the asteroid belt from accreting into a planet.
The gases in the air attracted to earth by gravity form layers called the?
The gases in the air attracted to earth by gravity form layers called the atmosphere. The atmosphere is divided into five main layers: the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. Each layer has unique characteristics and plays a different role in regulating Earth's temperature and protecting life on the planet.
Can a planet collapse under its own gravity?
No, a planet does not collapse because gravity isn't strong enough to provide enough pressure to crush a planet. You might make a planet heavier and heavier as to increase its gravity but at some point the pressure in the planet's core will be high enough to support nuclear fusion and the planet will have changed into a star. At that point radiative pressure also begins to fight gravity.
Why isn't there a terrestrial planet form at the asteroid belt?
Jupiter's gravity kept planetesimals from accreting
What is the process in which heat is trapped in earth's atmosphere by water vapor carbon dioxide and other gases that form a blanket around earth?
This process is known as the greenhouse effect. It occurs when greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, preventing it from escaping into space. This leads to a warming of the Earth's surface and is essential for maintaining the planet's temperature suitable for life.
Is there really evidence that there was a planet on the asteroid belt?
There certainly is enough material in the asteroid belt to form another planet, however the immense gravity of Jupiter prevented a planet from forming.
Why scientists theorize that the asteroid belt did not form a planet?
scientists theorize that it was jupiters gravity that kept it from forming
