Why does gravity differ on didderent planets?

Gravity differs on different planets because it is determined by the mass of the planet. The larger the mass, the stronger the gravitational pull. Each planet has a unique mass and size, resulting in different levels of gravity on each planet.


Do inner planets have greenhouse effect?

Only Venus and Earth have a greenhouse effect because they have a substantial atmosphere. Venus actually has a runaway greenhouse effect causing its surface temperatures to rise to 450 Celsius.


What keeps the planets in the solar system apart from each other?

gravitational pull between planets The gravitational relationship that each planet has with the sun is much stronger than the gravitational effect that planets have on each other. There are some effects that the planets have on one another called perturbations. These are minor and would never cause the planets to come dangerously close together. The planets originally formed in very much the same orbits that they occupy today. Any large chunks of material or large clouds of gas that were between the known orbits long ago got taken up by one of the adjacent planets. This is the process of 'clearing the neighborhood' that is part of the definition of planet, and it is the main reason why planets are far enough apart not to have an overly strong effect on neighboring planets.


Are there newly discovered planets in space and what are their names?

Yes, new exoplanets are discovered regularly by scientists. Some recent discoveries include TOI-178b, GJ 367b, and LTT 9779b. Each of these planets have unique characteristics and are located in different parts of the galaxy.


What is the force of gravity at the surface of the eight planets called?

The force of gravity at the surface of the eight planets is called surface gravity. It is the gravitational pull experienced by objects on the surface of a planet due to its mass.

What planet do you go on first at poptropica?

It doesn't matter what order you go to the planets in, but you have to beat the enemy on each planet to get the knights to follow you.


What planet has the most planets?

Planets don't have planets. The Sun has planets, and planets have moons.Dwarf planets might orbit around each other, but this answer uses the correct definition of the term planet, which does not include Pluto or Charon.


What is the distance from the planets?

the distance from the planets is 6.5 million miles between each planet.


Does the number of moons effect the mass of a planet?

Yes, the number of moons can affect the mass of a planet to some extent, as the gravitational pull between the planet and its moons can influence each other. However, the effect is usually minimal compared to the mass of the planet itself.

What two neighboring planets are farthest apart?

Neptune and Uranus are the two neighboring planets in our solar system that are farthest apart. Despite being adjacent to each other in order, Neptune is the farthest planet from the Sun while Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun.


Why does each planet have different facts?

Each planet has different characteristics, such as size, distance from the sun, and composition, that result in unique facts about each planet. Factors like gravity, atmosphere, and temperature also play a role in determining the specific features and conditions found on each planet.


How do we know how long it takes for each planet to orbit the sun?

We can observe the planets as they move through their orbits around the sun. We also know how to correct for the effect of the earth's own movement.


What is the order of the planets rotation from fastest to slowest?

The order of the planets' rotation speeds from fastest to slowest is Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Earth, Venus, Uranus, Neptune, and Mercury. This ranking is based on the time it takes for each planet to complete one rotation on its axis.


Do inner planets have greenhouse effect?

Only Venus and Earth have a greenhouse effect because they have a substantial atmosphere. Venus actually has a runaway greenhouse effect causing its surface temperatures to rise to 450 Celsius.


What is a double planet?

Two planets orbiting each other. The barycenter of the planets must not lie within either planet but must be in free space between them. (The planets orbit a central point as opposed to a planet-sattelite configuration where one body orbits another)


Do planets collide when the distance of the planets from the sun change?

The distance of the planets from the sun does not change because of the gravity surrounding each planet is pulling them into continuous orbit.
