Do other planets have an atmosphere like earths?
Not in our solar system. Nor have any been found elsewhere to date.
Does the earths path around the sun ever deviate?
Yes. Gravitational attraction from other objects - mainly the other planets - will gradually change this path.
Is Jupiter bigger than all the other planets together?
Yes. It is larger by both volume and by mass.Jupiter is only about 30% larger in diameter than Saturn, but its volume is half again that of all other planets combined, more than 1320 times the volume of Earth.But Jupiter is also around 2.5 times more massive than all of the other planets in our solar system put together (this also includes the Plutonian worlds). Jupiter's mass is equal to just under 318 Earths.If we took the next 4 planets in terms of size we would haveSaturn (95 Earths),Uranus (14.5 Earths),Neptune (17 Earths) - (Neptune is smaller but denser than Uranus)Earth (1 Earth),we see that the mass combined of these four is only 127.5 Earths, The remaining planets Venus (0.8 Earth) , Mars (0.1 Earth) and Mercury (0.055 Earth) add very little to the total mass of planets excluding Jupiter.(for mass comparisons, see the related link below)
What is the size of Mars compare to other planets in the Solar System?
Of the eight planets in our solar system (ignoring Pluto and other dwarf or minor planets), Mars is second smallest... only Mercury is smaller. Mars is about 53% of the diameter of Earth (about 15% of the volume), also about fifteen percent of its mass. Standing on its surface you'd feel a little under 2/5ths of Earth's surface gravity.
Which planet has the least gravitational attraction?
Mars, although Mercury is a very close second.Mercury is the smallest of the 8 major planets, and has the least mass. However, it is dense, and its smaller size means that it has slightly higher gravity *at its surface* than Mars does, even though Mars has about twice the mass of Mercury.Mars = 0.376 g (Earth gravity)Mercury = 0.38 g (Earth gravity)* Previously, Pluto had the smallest size and lowest surface gravity. But it is now classified with other dwarf planets and distant planetary bodies, which so far are all smaller than Mercury.
What can people do to decrease erosion of the earths surface?
The inner planets are different from the other planets mainly because
Why is earth's surface warmer than the the surface of other planets?
In some cases, its because it's simply closer to the sun than other planets. In other cases, its because the Earth has an atmosphere that traps the heat in like the Greenhouse Effect purports.
What does earths field not affect?
Other planets
Earths magnetic field does not affect what?
Other planets
How big is earths moons compared to other planets?
Small
What creates earths motion?
the suns gravity pull creates the earths movement as well as the other planets
Why is the surface temperature of Venus higher than the other surface temperatures of the inner planets?
The surface temperature of Venus is higher than the surface temperatures of the other inner planets because of its thick atmosphere.
Planets that circle stars other than earths sun are called?
exoplanets
Why are carbon dioxide water vapor and other greenhouse gases important to life on Earths surface?
They absorb radiant energy emitted by Earths surface
Does the earth rotate like the other planets?
Yes the Earth does rotate like the other planets (except for the distance of the rotation(assuming your talking about the rotation around the Sun); the wobble of the Earths axis compared to other planets; and the time it takes to rotate)
How is the earth surface different from the other inner planets?
In a word : "water".
What is the meaning of earths name?
the answer to the question what is earths name is PATRONUS
