Massive planets around nearby stars.

Mercury; Venus; Earth; Mars; Jupiter; Saturn; Uranus; Neptune; Pluto when it was a planet. An easy way to remember it is "My Very Easy Method Just Set Up Nine Planets:. Of course, that isn't exactly correct, but it works very well.

What is the name of area between the Mars and Jupiter?

There is not a planet between Mars and Jupiter that I know! There should be a Dwarf planet if not no planet! ___________________________ An early astronomer and mathematician, Johann Elert Bode, observed a mathematical relationship between the orbital distances of the planets. The formula works creepily well for Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. "Bode's Law" indicates that there ought to be a planet between Mars and Jupiter, where there is none. Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus fall just where Bode's Law predicted, but Neptune and Pluto are way out of place. When the asteroid Ceres was discovered, it was almost precisely where Bode's Law predicted, and with the discovery of all the other asteroids some people figured that Ceres must be the largest fragment of a destroyed planet that USED to be there. A number of science fiction novels are set on that destroyed planet! Bode's Law turns out to have no real significance, being only a numerological trick.


How do you know that stars have planets orbiting them?

There are two tools that astronomers use to determine that a far-off star has planets. 1. Occultation: When a planet passes in between the Earth and another star, it is called an "occultation", from the Latin word "occult" or "hidden". The light measurement from the star will be slightly decreased when a planet passes in front of the star. Think of it as a very par away eclipse. This only works for very large planets. 2. Gravitational "wobble": A large planet attracts a star as much as the star attracts the planet, and they both orbit their joint center of gravity. Because the star is so much more massive than the planet, the star only wobbles very slightly, but over long periods it is possible to notice the differences.
