Galaxies are made up of billions of?
stars and planets
Objects that orbit the sun?
Planets, exoplanets, asteroids. They're all sattelites of the sun.
What does water pressure not depend on?
Water pressure does not depend upon the astrological configuration of the stars and planets.
Why is it important to show the location of the planets accurately?
It is very important to show the location of the planets accurately. This is so scientists can determine the positioning of other bodies such as asteroids, stars, etc.
Is helium easy to find?
kind of you can find it on the stars and some gas planets and a little bit on earth
How does the distance of planets compare to the distance of stars?
Stars are all over Hollywood, planets are above us in the sky.
How does the distance between planets compare to the distance of stars?
The distance between stars is a couple of order of magnitudes higher than the distance between planets.To put this into perspective, the distance between earth and the sun is 8 light-minutes and the distance between other planets doesn't go further than a few light-hours. On the other hand, the distance between our sun and the nearest star (alpha centauri) is 4.4 light-years. This means that this distance is about 38544 larger than the distance between planets.Beyond that, the distance between stars can be extremely high: a star on the other side of our galaxy will be about 100000 light-years away from us. The distance will keep rising as we move on to different galaxies, then different galaxy clusters, the super clusters and then, finally, the width of the universe.
How does the distance of planets from Earth compare to the distance to the stars?
Planets are tremendously closer than the stars are. Even the closest star (other than the sun, which is also a star) is tens of thousands of times farther away than the most distant planet in our solar system.
How does distance between earth and sun compare to distance between earth and nearby stars and galaxies?
We measure distances between celestial objects (such as suns, planets, and galaxies) by a unit of measurement called "AU" which stands for, Astronomical Unit. One AU is the equivalent to 93 million miles, which is roughly the distance from earth to the sun. Let's compare that to the next closest star to us, Alpha Centauri, which is 4.4 light years away, or about 271,930 AUs! Distances are Immense.
Can planets generate nuclear fusion?
No. That's precisely the main difference between planets and stars - that stars can have nuclear fusion, planets not.
How does the distance between the planet earth and the sun compare with the distance between the planet earth and other stars?
The Sun is many thousands of times closer to Earth than any other star.
Are stars planets from different galaxies?
Through intense research it has indicated that stars are not only luminous balls of plasma held by gravity, but are also planets from different galaxies. From a distance, they may seem like stars, but are in fact planets. So yes, you are correct, planets are stars from different galaxies.
What is the difference between planets and stars in the night sky?
Stars give off light whereas planets reflect light.
Do stars orbit planets or planets orbit stars?
Planets orbit stars.
If the stars are like the sun then why don't the others planets stay warm?
The other planets in our are warmed by the sun, some more than others depending on their distance to the sun. The other stars are too far away to warm the planets.
What is hotter planets or stars?
stars, the planets have to get heat from stars
What is a cosmic distance?
A distance in space, between stars etc.
