What keeps the planets in the solar system apart from each other?
gravitational pull between planets The gravitational relationship that each planet has with the sun is much stronger than the gravitational effect that planets have on each other. There are some effects that the planets have on one another called perturbations. These are minor and would never cause the planets to come dangerously close together. The planets originally formed in very much the same orbits that they occupy today. Any large chunks of material or large clouds of gas that were between the known orbits long ago got taken up by one of the adjacent planets. This is the process of 'clearing the neighborhood' that is part of the definition of planet, and it is the main reason why planets are far enough apart not to have an overly strong effect on neighboring planets.
What would happen if planets did not move in a fixed orbit?
the planets would have dashed each other
Why are the orbit of the planets different?
So they don't run into each other.
How are all outer planets similar to each other?
They are all gaseous.
What would happen if the planets did not move in their fixed path?
If the planets did not move in their fixed orbits they may dash each other.
Are planets far away from each other?
Not as far apart as stars are from each other, but yes, they are a long way apart.
Where are lines of longitude farthest apart?
Lines of longitude are farthest apart where they intersect the line of the equator.
Why is Copernicus a courageous scientist?
Because he discovered the planets in the solar system and how far apart they are from each other
How far is Venus's to earth?
Both Venus and Earth are in orbit around the sun, with different periods. Venus' distance from the sun is 72.8% of Earth's average distance. The nearest that the two planets can approach each other is when both are on the same line from the sun and on the same side. Then they're 0.272 AU or about 25.3 million miles apart. The farthest apart that the two planets can be is when they're exactly opposite each other with the sun in the middle. Then they're 1.728 AU or about 160.7 million miles apart. The distance between Earth and Venus is always somewhere between these extremes.
Which neighbor planets are the farthest from each other?
Neptune and Jupiter are both really far from Pluto Pluto is sometimes in the other galaxy because that's where its rotation goes to! :D
How do you throw an accurate fastball?
The most accurate pitch in baseball is the 4-seam fastball. You can throw a 4-seam fastball by: Placing your index finger and middle finger comfortably apart from each other across the seams where the seams are farthest apart from each other. Then, throw it as if you were playing catch.
How apart are each planet from each other?
It's better to ask how far are the planets from the sun since they all move around it at a realively constant distance, but their distances to each other are constantly changing and can vary widely.
What are the 2 countries that are farthest away from each other?
If we assume that earth is spherical, then every couple of antipodes, for example North and South pole, are the farthest two places on earth, meaning that the shortest line to connect these two places is the longest of all the other two places.
What happen to atoms particles during the 3 changing states?
in a solid they are closly packed that they only vibrate. in a liquid they are far apart to slide past each other. and in a gas they are the farthest apart and plazma is the same as gas i think
Which two australian capital cities are the furthest distance apart?
Perth, the capital of Western Australia and Brisbane, the capital of Queensland are the farthest apart.
Why are the planets in spaced out?
because of the gravitational pull of the other planets that are in line with each other
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
