yeah im pretty sure it is sence the sun its gigantor compare to earth, but then again jupiters pretty big too but im still going with yes as the answer.
***********************The answer is yes. The sun is far more massive than all the planets, asteroids, and comets of the solar system put together. This is not guesswork; the masses have been accurately estimated by astronomers for decades now.
What else can I help you with?
How much mass does Jupiter have compared to all the other planets?
Jupiter contains about 70% of the total mass of all the planets in our solar system. It is by far the most massive planet, with a mass that is more than twice the combined mass of all the other planets.
The Jovian planets are more massive but less dense than the terrestrial planets?
Yes, that is correct. The Jovian planets are composed mainly of gases like hydrogen and helium, making them less dense overall compared to the terrestrial planets which have solid surfaces. Additionally, the Jovian planets have much larger volumes due to their gaseous compositions, leading to their greater mass.
Are jovian planets thought to contain much less rocky material than the terrestrial planets?
Yes, Jovian planets are thought to contain much less rocky material compared to terrestrial planets. Jovian planets are primarily composed of gases like hydrogen and helium, with a small rocky core at their centers. Terrestrial planets, on the other hand, are predominantly made of silicate rocks and metals.
Why is it more difficult for gases to escape from Jovian planets than terrestrial planets?
It is more difficult for gases to escape from Jovian planets because they have much stronger gravitational forces due to their larger mass, which means gases are held more tightly to the planet. Terrestrial planets have lower mass and weaker gravity, making it easier for gases to escape into space.
How are planets sizes related to their surface gravity?
Usually, large size= large mass. The more mass you have the greater the gravity, but it also depends on how much mass is in a certain amount of space. For example if a large amount of mass spread over a large area the gravity will be less than if all that mass was condensed into a single point.
How much mass does Jupiter have compared to all the other planets?
Jupiter contains about 70% of the total mass of all the planets in our solar system. It is by far the most massive planet, with a mass that is more than twice the combined mass of all the other planets.
Are the jovian planets similar in mass to the terrestrial planets?
No. The Jovian planets are much more massive than the terrestrial planets.
What is mass is it somthing to do with gravity?
Think of your 'mass' as the total amount of 'stuff' that makes up your body. The mass of a rock is all the 'stuff' the rock is made of. How many pounds you weigh depends on two things: How much gravity there is in the place where you're standing, and how much 'stuff' you're made of. The gravity may change on different planets, so your weight may change. But the mass that you're made of doesn't change ... it's the same wherever you go. Whatever planet you're on, the things with more mass in them will weigh more, and the things with less mass will weigh less.
The Jovian planets are more massive but less dense than the terrestrial planets?
Yes, that is correct. The Jovian planets are composed mainly of gases like hydrogen and helium, making them less dense overall compared to the terrestrial planets which have solid surfaces. Additionally, the Jovian planets have much larger volumes due to their gaseous compositions, leading to their greater mass.
Are outer planets denser than smaller planets?
No. The outer planets are gas planets, which are much less dense than the inner terrestrial planets.
Why is the surface gravity of Pluto the weaker than that of the planets in our solar system?
Pluto has a weaker surface gravity than a planet because it has much less mass than a planet has.
How much mass do Planets have?
It depends on the planet. Some planets, like Jupiter, are made from gas. While others, like Earth, are rocky planets.
What is the difference between terrestrial planet and gas giant?
Each of the four inner planets have a clearly defined terrain. They are different to the gas planets, which don't have a clear solid surface. The inner planets are also much smaller and less massive, yet have a higher density than the outer planets. The inner planets have fewr moons due to their smaller mass and size. As they are closer to the sun, they orbit the sun in less time and are also warmer.
Are distances between the outer planets less than the distance between the inner planets?
No. They are much greater.
Why does an object with a lot of mass take the shape of a sphere?
Objects such as astriods or small moons are iregulary shaped because they have much less mass than the planets. Therefore thier gravitational force is not strong enough to form a sphere.
Are jovian planets thought to contain much less rocky material than the terrestrial planets?
Yes, Jovian planets are thought to contain much less rocky material compared to terrestrial planets. Jovian planets are primarily composed of gases like hydrogen and helium, with a small rocky core at their centers. Terrestrial planets, on the other hand, are predominantly made of silicate rocks and metals.
Is planet Mars the densest planet?
Not at all. Mars is the least dense of the rocky planets. Earth is the densest planet in the Solar System because of its large iron core. Mercury and Venus are only slightly less dense.All of the Gas giants are much less dense than the rocky planets. The least dense, Saturn, is actually less dense than water. (All of the gas giants have a much greater mass than the rocky planets but density is mass divided by volume)
