What element is named after the third most distant planet?
The third most distant planet from the sun is Earth. It orders from Mercury, Venus and then Earth. The answer would then be Tellurium.The planets that orbit the sun are constantly moving in orbit and therefore getting closer and further apart from each other. Therefore, the third most distant planet from the Earth is changing as the years pass.For a complete list of elements named after planets, seehttp://wiki.answers.com/What_elements_are_named_after_a_planet
The sun and all of the planets and other bodies that travel around it?
The sun and all of the planets and other bodies that travel around it?
Why do all the planets orbit the sun?
Not all the planets orbit the sun - other stars have planets too. But all the planets in our solar system, which is the system of our sun, revolve around the sun; otherwise they would be in other solar systems. All the planets we can see with our naked eye orbit the sun, since the planets orbiting the sun are the only ones close enough to earth to see without a telescope.
Why will the sun not shine forever?
Our sun is a star and ALL stars have life spans - just like us. When stars die, the elements get blasted out into space and end up forming other planets and stars.
What are other elements named after heavenly bodies?
Multiple elements as listed by the Periodic Table of the Elements are named after bodies in the Cosmos. Helium (He) regards Greek Helios; the Sun. Mercury (Hg), Uranium (Ur), Neptunium (Np), and Plutonium (Pu) as in the planets, are others.
Elements named after planets and heavenly bodies?
Mercury the element is not really named after mercury the heavenly body: both are named after the Roman messenger god, Mercury. Similarly it is unclear whether uranium is named after uranus the planet or Uranus the mythical Roman god. Neptunium and plutonium definitely are named after the planets, and there is also selenium, named after the moon, and helium, named after the sun.
Why do the inner planets have more of the lighter elements like hydrogen and helium gas like the outer planets do?
The Sun and its planets formed form a huge cloud (disk) of dust which contained both light and heavy elements, but there were more light elements (hydrogen) than heavy. As the disk coalesced into the sun and planets the areas close to the young sun were too hot (heated by the sun) for the light elements to condense and settle onto the young inner planets which are therefore rocky, while the outer planets being further from the sun did accumulate the lighter and more volatile elements. However in the centers of the giant planets there are rocky (heavy) cores.
What planets are named after elements on the periodic table?
Mercury from both the planet and the Roman god; Uranium is named after the planet Uranus and Plutonium after the (former) planet Pluto; Neptunium, after the planet Neptune. Tellurium, element 52, gets its name from the Latin "tellus" meaning Earth. Not planets, but element 2, Helium is named from the Greek helios, Sun, and Selenium from the Greek selene, Moon.
What is the distances between the sun and the other planets in the solar system?
The difference is that the sun is a star, the other planets are just planets
What Roman god was named after the fourth planet to the sun?

Why is the sun bigger than the other planets?
the sun is bigger than any other planets because millions of years ago meteorites smashed together to make the sun and to any other planets that did not happen
Does the other planets go around the sun?
Our nine planets orbit around the Sun. Other planets that are light-years away orbit around their suns (A sun is just a large star with planets). Hope this helped!
