Planets whose orbits lie closer to the sun than the asteroids?
The planets whose orbits lie closer to the sun than the asteroids are Mercury and Venus. These two planets are part of the inner planets, also known as terrestrial planets, and are situated closer to the sun compared to the asteroid belt, which is located between Mars and Jupiter.
The four outer planets lie beyond what?
The outer planets lie beyond the asteroid belt.
Why are mercuryvenusearthand Mars inner planets?
the four inner planets (mercury, venus, earth and mars) are called the inner planets because they are quite close to the sun. where as the four outer planets ( jupiter, saturn, uranus and neptue) are a lot further away from the sun.
What lies in between mars and Jupiter?
Mars and Jupiter have 343 million mi (552 million km) of space between them, so there are lots of things in between the two planets. However, the main thing between Mars and Jupiter is the asteroid belt.
Is there an asteroid belt between mars and Jupiter?
The order of the planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. However, Pluto the largest known dwarf planet next to Eris, is no longer considered a planet at all. It is now known as the largest member of a distinct region called the Kuniper Belt. Therefor there are officially only 8 planets in our Solar System. There is a region of the solar system located roughly between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter called the asteroid belt . It is occupied with numerous irregular shaped bodies called asteroids or minor planets. Not to be confused with actual planets. Ceres is the only object in the belt large enough for its gravity to force it into a roughly round shape, and so, according to the IAU's 2006 resolution on the definition of a planet, it is now considered a dwarf planet.
Planets whose orbits lie closer to the sun than the asteroids?
The planets whose orbits lie closer to the sun than the asteroids are Mercury and Venus. These two planets are part of the inner planets, also known as terrestrial planets, and are situated closer to the sun compared to the asteroid belt, which is located between Mars and Jupiter.
What planets are between the asteroid belt and the sun?
The planets between the asteroid belt and the Sun are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. These four inner planets are also known as the terrestrial planets because they are primarily composed of rock and metal.
Smallest planets are near to the sun is this true?
Yes - and no. Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are all small planets and are nearer the sun than the huge gas giants Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. However, there are other minor planets ('planetoids') that are much smaller and lie between Mars and Jupiter and beyond Neptune, Pluto being the nearest of this further group of minor planets. So, if you define a planet to iinclude the planetoids, then the answer is 'no; if the planets do not include planetoids, the answer is 'yes'.
What are the relative positions of the inner planets?
The Terran planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth (Terra) and Mars are relatively close to each other and the Sun. On the other side of the asteroid belt are the Lovian planets (Jove is another name for Jupiter) which are giants, compared to Terran planets, and are far, far apart, and consist of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune
How many number of inner planets?
There are 4, all of which lie between the sun and the asteroid belt. These planets are (from lowest distance from the sun to the highest): Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.
What planets lie between Mars in Pluto?
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Because of the eccentricity of Plutos orbit it is sometime inside the orbit of Neptune.
The four outer planets lie beyond what?
The outer planets lie beyond the asteroid belt.
Why are mercuryvenusearthand Mars inner planets?
the four inner planets (mercury, venus, earth and mars) are called the inner planets because they are quite close to the sun. where as the four outer planets ( jupiter, saturn, uranus and neptue) are a lot further away from the sun.
Is Saturn an outside planet or inside planet?
Saturn is an outer planet. It is an outer planet, the 4 inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars) are known as the inner planets because they are close to the sun. the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune) are known as the outer planets because they are a lot farther away.
Does venus lie between earth and the sun?
it does, being the second planet. The earth is the third planet, while mercury is the first. But often it's not between the Earth and the Sun. It depends where the planets are in their orbits.
Why Jupiter Saturn Uranus and Neptune outer planets?
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are considered the outer planets because they are located beyond the asteroid belt in our solar system. They are also known as gas giants due to their primarily gaseous composition. These planets are much larger and have lower densities compared to the inner rocky planets like Earth and Mars.
What is in asteroid?
Asteroids are minor planets. They also called planetoids. They are large piece of rocks. They revolve around the sun. In a vast ring between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter most of the asteroids lie.
