What else can I help you with?
Are there planets not yet discovered?
Of course! Where we are now in space science is only the tip of the iceberg. There are so many unknown things out there.AdditionallyAstronomers are just discovering new planets outside our solar system. Until recently the planets were too far away and too dim to be seen by our best telescopes.
Witch planets have rings?
Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune are the four planets in our solar system known to have rings. Saturn's rings are the most prominent and well-known, but the other planets have less visible ring systems.
Do any of the stars you can see have planets around them?
Yes. To date scientists have discovered well over a thousand planets orbiting other stars. It is believe that a large portion of the stars in the night sky have planets.
What country never discovered a planet?
Countries do not discover planets, people do. Of the planets that aren't visible with the naked eye, the discoverers lived in England (Uranus) and Germany (Neptune), and the USA if we count Pluto.
Will other planets be found?
It is likely that more exoplanets will be discovered in the future, as advancements in technology and techniques continue to improve our ability to detect them. The discovery of new planets will provide valuable insights into the diversity of planetary systems in our galaxy.
Can you name any newly discovered planets or solar systems other than Kepler-22b?
Go to Wikipedia and search the article "Extrasolar planets". It has links to several lists of planets and planetary systems.
Dose all the planets orbit the sun?
All the planets in our solar system orbit our sun. Recently other suns, far out in Space, have been discovered to have their own planets.
Are there any other solar systems in the Milky Way Galaxy?
Yes. As of December 12, 2013 nearly 800 systems have been discovered with planets, including more than 170 with multiple planets.
Could there be aliens familiar to dinosaurs on other planets?
Yes, there was recently discovered forms of ancient life on mars that looked like dinosaurs
How many planets can a solar system have according to the nebular theory?
There is no maximum number, and "nebular theory" has been knocked for a loop by the recent discoveries of 400+ "extra-solar planets" - planets orbiting other stars. Classical theories predicted that planetary systems would be rare; however, it seems that every nearby star we've looked at recently has been discovered to have planets - LOTS of planets.
Are they finding more planets in the solar system?
Not in our solar system. In fact the scientific community recently reduced the number of planets in our solar system by reclassifying Pluto as a Dwarf Planet. As for other solar systems, yes, there are still new planets being discovered; Often enough that the discoveries don't even usually rate any mention in mainstream news media.
Is Kepler smaller than Jupiter?
There is no planet named Kepler. Kepler is the name of a space telescope used to find planets in other solar systems. Planets discovered with this method are given designations such as Kepler 22-b. Some planets discovered have been larger than Jupiter.
Are the new planets Kepler-62f and Kepler-62e or Ceres and Eris?
Ceres and Eris are not planets; they are classified as dwarf planets. Eris was discovered in our solar system recently and not by the Kepler mission. Ceres is not "new" either; it was discovered the first day of the 19th. Century. I didn't check the specific "Kepler-" codes, but that looks like planets discovered by the Kepler mission to be orbiting around other stars.
Who discovered that other planets had moons?
Galileo
What are some purple planets from other solar systems?
We do not know. Although we have detected planets in other solar systems, we do not know what colors they are.
Why is it that our solar system has so many planets and dwarf planets while most of the discovered exosolar systems have a lesser number of planets?
Actually, we don't know for sure that other systems don't have as many dwarf planets. Even with the acceleration of advances in telescope technology, spotting other solar systems is not easy, and the pictures are seldom definitive. Aside from that, our system is an unusual one in many ways besides the apparently extraordinary number of planets. There are many theories about why that might be, ranging from age to chance. Perhaps the most satisfactory answer that can be given at this time is that our system is in a location that allows it to collect mass more rapidly than other systems.
What are the planets out of your solar system?
Planets outside our solar system are called exoplanets. Thousands of exoplanets have been discovered orbiting other stars in the Milky Way galaxy. They come in a variety of sizes and compositions, and many are quite different from the planets in our own solar system.
