technically, yes and no. Gas giants are, by far, the largest of the planets with a large amount of mass, therefore they will have a greater gravitational pull, according to Newton's law that the gravitational pull of any object depends on the mass of both objects and the distance between them. Since gas giants are larger, then the gravitational pull may be stronger. However, one may also argue that non-gaseous planets are more dense and therefore have more mass. This may also be true, since the Big Bang theory revolves around a ball the size of this dot on this "i" to have exploded and the mass inside the object created the solar system and all the universe, which we believe is still expanding which shows how much mass was in that small dot. So the answer to this question is yes and no...unless you know the distance between the planets and their moons (planet "A" to moon "A" and planet "B" to moon "B") then you can figure out the problem! ^-^
What else can I help you with?
What planets are inside of Earth's orbit?
You cannot have planets orbiting planets. Planets orbit suns. Only satellites orbit planets. In the case of planet Earth, the moon is the only natural satellite.
Does the speed of planetary orbits increase the closer the planet is to the sun?
Yes, according to Kepler's laws of planetary motion, planets move faster in their orbits when they are closer to the sun. This is due to the gravitational force exerted by the sun, which causes the planet to accelerate as it gets closer.
Which planets are called terrestrial and why?
Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are called terrestrial planets because they have solid, rocky surfaces similar to Earth's. These planets are located closer to the Sun, have higher densities, and are composed primarily of silicate rocks and metals.
Why do the positions of the planets change in relation to the background of stars?
The positions of the planets change in relation to the background stars due to their orbits around the Sun. As the planets move along their orbit at different speeds, their position relative to the background stars appears to change from our perspective on Earth. This phenomenon is known as planetary motion and is a result of the planets' orbital dynamics.
Compared to the jovian planets terrestrial planets are?
The Jovian planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune) are composed of gases and pressurized liquids. Whereas, the four inner terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars) are composed of rock and iron.
What does this piece of data reveal about the comparison of these two planets?
that mecury is closer to the sun explaining the shorter orbiting time
What is the definition for Inner planets?
Those that are closer to the Sun. It may refer either to those that are closer to the Sun than Earth (i.e., Mercury and Venus), or to the FOUR innermost planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars), which share certain characteristics.
Why do the sun and planet appear to be moving through fixed stars?
The Sun and orbiting planets are MUCH closer to the Earth than other stars.
What planets are inside of Earth's orbit?
You cannot have planets orbiting planets. Planets orbit suns. Only satellites orbit planets. In the case of planet Earth, the moon is the only natural satellite.
What do you call the inner planets called?
The inner planets are also known as terrestrial planets. They are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. These planets are composed primarily of rock and metal and are located closer to the sun compared to the outer planets.
Does the speed of planetary orbits increase the closer the planet is to the sun?
Yes, according to Kepler's laws of planetary motion, planets move faster in their orbits when they are closer to the sun. This is due to the gravitational force exerted by the sun, which causes the planet to accelerate as it gets closer.
What are the inner plaents?
The inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. They are referred to as inner planets because they are closer to the Sun compared to the outer planets. These planets are primarily composed of rock and metal.
What are the inner planets mostly?
The inner planets are mostly composed of rock and metal, with solid surfaces. They include Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. These planets are closer to the sun and have higher temperatures compared to the outer planets.
What are the rings composed of and which planets can they be found around?
Composed of rocky debris. It's...very...asteroid-beltlike, except...the fragments are smaller and closer together to each other... They are most prominently found around Saturn, but all the gas giants (Uranus, Neptune, Jupiter included) possess "rings".
What so stars do in outer space?
Stars would appear much like our Sun when viewed at closer range and most would have planets and other objects orbiting them.
Which planets are called terrestrial and why?
