Which planet is smaller than Jupiter?
Jupiter is the largest planet, so all of the other planets are smaller.
How is the moon different from a planet?
the moons orbit the planet but the planets orbit the sunMoons revolve round planets. Planets revolve round suns.___________AlternateThe truth is that planets orbit round their moons, or more precisely a planet and its moon(s) orbit around their barycenter, the center of gravity of the planet-moon system. This is true for the earth, but this orbital motion of earth is less noticeable than the orbital motion of the smaller moon. I think the real difference between planets and their moons is relative size.
What planet do all the planets evolve around?
I am not familiar with planets evolving around any singular planet. If you are referring to orbit, the planets orbit the sun, a star, not a planet, in our solar system. Some planets have moons in their orbit.
Why are the outter planets bigger than the inner planets?
Because the outer planets are gas giants except for Pluto. Pluto is an outer planet because it is the object (planet) that kept interfering with Neptune's orbit. Pluto is one on hundreds of thousands of meteoroids that a around the size of our moon.
Why does the number of dwarf planets constantly change?
because scientists can't make up their mind about what makes a planet a planet.
Does smaller planet orbit bigger planet or does bigger planet orbit smaller planet?
Planets orbit stars, not other planets. A planet-like object that orbits a planet is a moon.
How is moon different than a planet?
The moon orbits the planet Earth rather than the sun, so it is considered a moon.
How is a moon different from a planet or a dwarf planet?
What makes a moon a moon is the fact that it is smaller than the object it is orbiting, and is orbiting the object (the planet) constantly.The definition of a moon is "a natural satellite revolving around a planet". Since a satellite is an object that orbits a bigger object, usually a planet, and is not a planet due to its small size, it is considered a moon and not another planet.
Which planet is smaller than Jupiter?
Jupiter is the largest planet, so all of the other planets are smaller.
Are dwarf planets smaller than inner planets?
Yes, all of the dwarf planets are smaller than the smallest inner planet (Mercury).
Is a dwarf planet bigger than a gas planet?
The gas planets are the largest planets in the solar system. The dwarf planets are smaller than even the smallest planets.
How is Pluto different from other planets?
It is a dwarf planet. It is smaller than the other planets.
What is smaller a planet or a solar system?
A planet. The solar system is made up of planets.
What is difference between Classical planet and a dwarf planet?
Pluto is a Dwarf Planet because it is too small to be a Classical Planet. Dwarf Planets are much smaller than Classical Planets. If you look at a diagram of the solar system with Pluto in it, you will see that it is much smaller compared to the other Classical Planets.

Are there any planets that are smaller than Saturn?
the planet uranus
Does Planet Earth have small planets around it?
No. There are no planets orbiting Earth.The Moon is not a planet.
