What is the size of Mars compare to other planets in the Solar System?
Of the eight planets in our solar system (ignoring Pluto and other dwarf or minor planets), Mars is second smallest... only Mercury is smaller. Mars is about 53% of the diameter of Earth (about 15% of the volume), also about fifteen percent of its mass. Standing on its surface you'd feel a little under 2/5ths of Earth's surface gravity.
Which planet has the least gravitational attraction?
Mars, although Mercury is a very close second.Mercury is the smallest of the 8 major planets, and has the least mass. However, it is dense, and its smaller size means that it has slightly higher gravity *at its surface* than Mars does, even though Mars has about twice the mass of Mercury.Mars = 0.376 g (Earth gravity)Mercury = 0.38 g (Earth gravity)* Previously, Pluto had the smallest size and lowest surface gravity. But it is now classified with other dwarf planets and distant planetary bodies, which so far are all smaller than Mercury.
What are the sun and its eight planets called?
The Sun and it's eight major planets are part of the solar system. Our solar system also contains 5 dwarf planets (as of 2017) and more than 700,000 minor planets and other objects.
Why are the first four planets called the inner planets and the remaining planets called the outer planets?
Because we have eight planets.Four are closer which are called inner planets.Their names are mercury,venus,earth and mars.Four are too back.They are called outer planets.Their names are jupiter,saturn,uranus and neptune.
A group of planets revolving around a star is called?
A group of planets revolving around a star is called a solar system. Each planet orbits the star in the center of the system and together they form a celestial family held together by gravity. The most well-known solar system is our own, which consists of eight planets orbiting the Sun.

Which of the eight planets of our solar system has the lowest surface temperature?
Technically speaking, Neptune is the planet with the lowest surface temperature; however, Neptune does not have a solid surface.
Which planet gravitation pull equals that of the earth?
Of the eight planets in orbit about our sun, Venus has gravity almost as strong as ours.

How can planets in your solar system orbit the sun?
The gravity reaching out to the eight planets in our solar system from the sun is not enough to thrust all of them inside it, but enough not to let them scatter all over the region.

What is the system consisting of the earths sun and the eight planets orbiting it called?
The Solar System
Earth is one of the eight what that orbits the sun?
Earth is one of eight planets.Earth is one of eight planets.Earth is one of eight planets.Earth is one of eight planets.
Is the planet Saturns gravitational pull weak?
No, as gravity goes, it is strong, second only to Jupiter. It depends on what the question means exactly. The gravitational pull depends on Saturn's mass, but also on the distance from the center of mass. If the question is about Saturn's "surface gravity", then Saturn's gravity is fairly average, if you take into account the centrifugal effect of Saturn's fast rotation at its equator. The acceleration due to gravity at Saturn's equator is the fourth greatest out of the eight planets.
A group of planets revolving around a star is called?
A group of planets revolving around a star is called a solar system. Each planet orbits the star in the center of the system and together they form a celestial family held together by gravity. The most well-known solar system is our own, which consists of eight planets orbiting the Sun.
Are there any other planets other than the eight major planets of our solar system?
Over 900 planets have been discovered orbiting other stars. These are called exoplanets.
