Planets and Dwarf Planets are both round, unlike asteroids, which are potato shaped.
A short explanation:
Small planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, their surface are rocky and they are closer to the Sun.
Large planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, are also called Gas Giants because their surface are gas.
Additional Info:
All seven planets are named after a Roman God (even Pluto).
Our home planet, Earth is not named after a Roman God.
They are all spheres' and almost all of them have craters
Planets and Dwarf Planets are both round, unlike asteroids, which are potato shaped.
They all orbit the sun & they all rotate on their axis, they all have day and night, they all have seasons.
All the planets in the solar system have a metallic (usually iron) core.
They are all gas giants they are made up of gas and dust particles. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are all gas giants.
All planets have rocks in common.
No, but some telescopes have detected larger planets orbiting other suns. There are larger planets than Jupiter for they are called Super Jupiters
Mass does not change with gravity. Weight increases on BIGGER planets and decreases on smaller planets.
terrestrial planets are denser and smaller while thejovial planets are gaseous and much larger.
Jovian planets are: -gaseous -farthest planets from the sun -largest planets
The size. The gaseous Jovian planets are far larger than the inner terrestrial planets.
Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus are all gas planets.
The outer planets are larger.
they are all larger than earth
the planets jupiter, saturn, uranus and neptune are the larger planets. They are also called jovian/giant planets.
No. The outer planets are larger and are mainly gaseous.
they are larger but not rockier then the inner planets the outer planets are made of gas.
are asteroids smaller or larger than planets
Actually all the current planets are larger than our moon.
Hydrogen, and helium. These are currently the most common elements in the Universe.
Planets are larger, generally much larger.
The moon appears much larger than the planets because it is closer.
All of the planets larger than Earth have several moons.Mercury and Venus are the only planets for which no satelliteshave been discovered.
