Why are the outer planets less dense?

They are made of less dense materials. While the inner planets are made primarily of rock, the outer planets are made mostly of hydrogen and helium.


Did Kepler discover that planets orbit around sun?

Yes, Johannes Kepler discovered that planets orbit around the sun in elliptical paths, rather than in perfect circles as previously believed. This discovery was based on his study of the motion of planets, particularly Mars, and his formulation of the laws of planetary motion known as Kepler's Laws.


What are the planets made of gas called?

There are four planets that are made out of gas: Jupiter, Saturn, Urans and Neptune. These planets are called the "gas giants" . The other four planets (Earth, Mercury, Venus and Mars) are mostly made out of rock.


What do terrestrial planets and jovian planets have in common?

Terrestrial planets and jovian planets are both types of planets found in our solar system. They are made up of different materials - terrestrial planets have solid surfaces predominantly made of rock and metal, while jovian planets are primarily composed of gas and liquids. Both types of planets orbit a star and have moons or natural satellites.


What scientist studied the planets and discovered something new about the planets in the renaissance?

During the Renaissance, Johannes Kepler made significant contributions to the study of planets. He formulated the three laws of planetary motion, which described how planets orbit the sun in elliptical paths rather than circular ones. This discovery challenged the long-held geocentric model and laid the groundwork for modern astronomy, influencing figures like Isaac Newton. Kepler's work marked a pivotal shift in our understanding of the solar system.

How was the discovery of the planets orbits shape made?

Johannes Kepler made the discovery of the planets' elliptical orbits in the early 17th century. He used observational data gathered by Tycho Brahe to formulate his three laws of planetary motion, which defined the precise shape and behavior of the orbits. This groundbreaking work laid the foundation for our modern understanding of planetary motion.


How many planets did ptolemy discover?

Ptolemy did not discover any planets. He lived in the 2nd century AD and his work primarily focused on developing mathematical models to explain the motion of the planets as observed from Earth. The discovery of the planets we now know was made by astronomers in different time periods.

What shape are orbits of the planets how was the discovery of this orbit shape made?

The orbits of planets are elliptical in shape, with the Sun located at one of the two foci of the ellipse. This discovery was made by Johannes Kepler in the early 17th century, after analyzing the precise astronomical data gathered by Tycho Brahe. Kepler formulated his First Law of Planetary Motion, which states that planets move in elliptical orbits, revolutionizing the understanding of celestial mechanics and replacing the earlier belief in circular orbits.


What discovery allowed for the translation of Egyptian hieroglyphics?

The hieroglyphics of Egypt are one of the oldest forms of the written word known to man. The discovery of the Rosetta stone made it possible to read the hieroglyphs.


What is the names of the planets on Jupiter?

Jupiter has no planets but it has a lot of moons. The big ones, discovered by Galileo are Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. Galileo wanted the credit for the discovery but did not want to reveal the discovery, so he announced it with a Latin anagram, so that when someone else made the discovery he could say, 'aha! I knew that first!'. That's the way they used to behave in those days (Galileo anyway).
