What two planets are most alike in the solar system?

Answer 1

There are two known planet to be similar to planet earth. The planets are located in other galaxies and about 1200 light years away fro earth. The names of the planets are Kepler 62e and Kepler 62f. Both of the planets have oceans, their own star, and seem to have the qualities to support life like earth.

Answer 2

This is a tricky question, because there are so many criteria by which to judge "similiarity." For example, size wise, Earth and Venus are very similar. However, the surface temperature on Venus averages 460 degrees C. In addition, the Venusian day is actually 243 Earth days long, and it even rotates on its axis in the opposite direction.

The Earth and Mars have similar climatic seasons, but since Mars' core has "frozen solid" unlike Earth's molten core, Mars lacks a magnetic field. Mars has a very thin atmosphere, consisting of mostly Carbon Dioxide as opposed to Earth's Nitrogen. The day on Mars is just slightly shorter than Earth's, but the year is 780 days long.

Jupiter really is in a class by itself. It is by far the most massive of the planets. It has the most powerful magnetic field of all the planets, generates more heat than it receives from the Sun, and rotates at a staggering 14 hours per Jovian day.

Saturn, too, is quite unique in the solar system, for reasons beyond the icy rings. Saturn is mostly formed from Hydrogen and trace amounts of other elements and hydrocarbons. It has the lowest density of any planet in the Solar System. Its magnetic field is feeble compared to Jupiter, and is even lower than the Earth's.

Of all of the two planets, perhaps the most similar in size, composition, and weather would be Uranus and Neptune. These planets are commonly referred to as "Ice Giants" due to the relative abundance of frozen water and other hydrocarbons. The masses of these planets are only approximately three earth masses apart.

Answer 3

Mars and Venus are similar to Earth in mass and orbital radius. Mars is much colder, and has a very thin atmosphere. Venus has a very thick atmosphere, much denser than Earth's, but is also very hot. Neither are suitable for human habitation.

Answer 4

It's probably because im the smartest person in the world!!!!!!

Answer 5

Venus is a little bit smaller than Earth. Mars is considerably smaller than Earth. There aren't any other planets that are close to Earth in either size or mass.

Answer 6

Venus is nearly the same size as Earth. The next closest in size would be Mars, at 1/3 Earth's size. I would not call that "nearly", though.

Answer 7

Mars is the most similar as it has the closest climate, though it's still much colder.

Answer 8

Uranus and Venus
