Why do Americans send robots to other planets?

Americans send robots to other planets to gather information about the characteristics, geology, atmosphere, and potential for life on those planets. This enables scientists to study the planets remotely without risking human lives and to advance our understanding of the universe.


Does the sun travel around the planets or do the planets travel around the sun?

The planets travel around the sun in elliptical orbits due to the sun's gravitational pull. This movement is known as the heliocentric model, with the sun at the center of the solar system, contrary to the geocentric model where the Earth was believed to be at the center.


The sun and all of the planets and other bodies that travel around it?

The sun and its family of planets, dwarf planets, moons, asteroids, and comets make up the solar system. The sun is a star that holds about 99.8% of the solar system's mass and provides energy that sustains life on Earth. The planets orbit the sun in elliptical paths with the inner planets being rocky and the outer planets being gaseous. Each body in the solar system plays a unique role in the dynamics and balance of this celestial system.


Why do astronomers find it difficult to locate extrasolar planets with telescope?

light from the they orbit makes it difficult to locate extrasolar planets with telescope


What are reasons for space travel?

Why havent people gone to other planets other than the moon?

Exploring other planets is a complex and costly endeavor that requires significant technology advancements and resources. Space agencies like NASA have focused on sending missions to nearby planets like Mars and Venus, but challenges such as high radiation levels, extreme temperatures, and long travel times make it difficult for humans to travel to other planets beyond the moon at this time. Additionally, there are ongoing efforts to plan future manned missions to Mars and potentially other celestial bodies.

Can an object travel as fast as light?

No. If something could it would have to move about 700million mph. That's why it is hard to travel to other planets.


Why does the planets orbit the sun?

Because the Sun has a great gravitational pull on the planets. Without the Sun the planets would travel in straight lines (ignoring other gravitational forces in the Universe.)


Why does it take so long to get to other planets?

Sheer distance. We are talking about millions and millions of miles alone between Earth and Mars. When you factor in the distance between other planets, like from Jupiter to Saturn, the expanse of space only grows. It takes time to travel that far.
