What is the structure of the solar system?

Answer 1

the radiation zone- A+ test , your welcome

Answer 2

The solar system has a large dense center, the sun. An atom has a dense center known as the nucleus. Most of an atom and the solar system consist of empty space. Oxygen has eight electrons, the sun has eight planets.

There the similarities tend to end. The electrons do not actually orbit, but occupy shells of probability, and jump from one shell to another by absorbing or emitting photons. Planets do not behave so indiscriminately. Electrons are indistinguishable from one another, whereas planets clearly are distinguishable--each having its own unique properties and characteristics.

Answer 3

The solar system consists of the sun, eight planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune), dwarf planets, moons, asteroids, and comets. The sun is at the center, with the planets orbiting around it in ellipses. The planets are divided into inner rocky planets and outer gas giants.

Answer 4

The sun has an interior and an atmosphere. The interior includes the core, the radiation zone, and the convection zone. The sun's atmosphere includes the photosphere, the chromosphere, and the corona.

Answer 5

It can't. End of story. Anyone who attempts to do so either doesn't know much about atoms or doesn't know much about the solar system.

About the ONLY thing they actually have in common is that nearly all the mass is concentrated at the center (99.85% of the mass of the Solar System is in the Sun; the ratio of nuclear to electronic mass of atoms is even higher). Beyond that, zilch.

Anyone who says electrons "orbit" the nucleus the way planets orbit the Sun is ... let's be kind and say "severely misinformed". This was briefly thought to be true over a century ago, but it's been known to be false for longer than anyone you know has been alive.

Answer 6

The planets are arranged by:

Mercury

Venus

Earth

Mars

Jupiter

Saturn

Uranus

Neptune.

you can remember it by this:

my very easy method just stay under night.

Answer 7

Sun in the center, metal-rich small rocky bodies orbiting relatively nearby,

gas giants further out, small ice-rock worlds and smaller objects at much

greater distance, all in elliptical gravitational orbits around the sun.

A small companion star extremely far away, which visits every 26 million years

or so, appearing in folklore and urban legend, but no scientific evidence.

Answer 8

You might compare it to a city: The Sun, which is 99% of everything is the Downtown, or one enormous skyscraper. The four rocky planets are the Business District, the asteroids are the Slums, and the gas and ice giants are the urban residential district. Pluto and the Kuiper Belt (home of short-period comets) are the Suburbs and the Oort Cloud is the Exurbs, almost blending with the exurbs of the neighboring star-system, Alpha Centauri.

Answer 9

Electrons revolve around the nucleus (made up of protons and neutrons). The planets in our solar system revolve around the sun. The planets act as the electrons, and the sun acts as the nucleus. Evidently, everything in the solar system (and the entire universe) are made up of atoms, which have electrons, neutrons, and protons.

Answer 10

In a very primitive way, you might think of the nucleus of the atom as the Sun, with the electrons moving around the nucleus perhaps vaguely the way that the planets orbit the Sun. This model of the atom was called the "Rutherford model", developed by Ernest Rutherford in 1911.

But it turns out that this is NOT AT ALL the way an atom behaves. Planets travel in fixed orbits; if you can determine exactly where a planet is three times, you can calculate its orbit for thousands of years into the future. Electrons don't have orbits, and they don't move in fixed paths; they have "orbitals", which are complex probability zones. The electron is "probably" somewhere in this zone, but it might NOT be - and electrons can "jump" from one zone to another by absorbing or emitting a photon, which is a "particle of light"; a discrete packet or "quanta" of energy.

Electrons do not "move" from one place in the probability zone; they simply ARE someplace else in the zone, and there is no way to determine where the electron WILL BE later on. This more complex picture of the atom is known as "quantum mechanics".
