A very small percentage. The total mass of the four inner planets is around 0.00059% of the total mass of the solar system. This is around 6 millionths.

The sun makes up around 99.85% of the total solar system mass, while the gas giant planets make up most of the remaining mass.

Are all moons in our solar system tidally locked?

No, not all moons in our solar system are tidally locked. Tidally locked means that the same side of the moon always faces its planet. Some moons, like Earth's moon, are tidally locked, but others, like Jupiter's moon Europa, are not.

How do tidally locked planets rotate in relation to their orbit around their host star?

Tidally locked planets rotate in a way that one side always faces their host star, while the other side remains in constant darkness. This means that the rotation of the planet is synchronized with its orbit around the star.


What law describes the relationship between the average distance of a planet from the sun and the planets orbital period?

Centrifugal force and gravity keep the planets locked in orbit. The mass of the Sun naturally desires to pull other masses toward it. This causes the planets to move. The First Law of Motion states that objects in motion will continue unless acted on. Thus, we know that the planets would naturally have a tendency to continue in a straight line. However, the mass of the Sun (likewise with individual planets and their moons) causes the planets to have an altered, oval-shaped orbit.


Who discovered the planetary alignment?

From CClassical Times, Sumerians, Egyptians, Greek, Romans, observed the sky. However, teh yall thought the Earth was the centre of the Universe. They saw the planets (and stars ; Sun and Moon included) moving in a regular order. However the polish astronomer Coperincus, calculated that the system helio-centric ( The Sun at the centre) in 1543.A.D. This was confirmed by Galileo, who made astronomic observations. At the time it caused great consternation in the Church . Galileo was 'locked-up' for heresy. They all agreed on the given planetary alignment of the then known planets, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Uranus was discoveredd in 1781, by Sir William Herschel, and 'outside' the other planets Neptune was discoveredd in 1840, by Johann Galle, Urbain le Verrier John Couch Adams, and 'outside' the other planets Pluto was discoveredd in 1930 , by Clyde W Tombaugh and 'outside' the all other planets Nomenclature; from Classical Greek mythology. Uranus, The God of the Sky, Neptune ; The God of the Sea Pluto ; The God of the Underworld.
