How do planets change orbital speed change?
Planets with elliptical orbits are affected by the difference in the strength of the Sun's gravity as they move closer to, or farther away from, the Sun. The only other major effect on planets are the gravity of other planets, notably Jupiter and Neptune. Except for Mars, Ceres, Pluto, and trans-Neptunian planets, the effect is extremely small -- it has resulted in stable orbital resonances between several small outer planets and the planet Neptune.
What planet rises as the sun sets?
There are no planets that have constant rise and set times; those times change daily as the Earth and other planets follow their own orbital paths through the solar system. There are two planets that NEVER "rise as the sun sets"; Mercury and Venus are closer to the Sun than Earth is.
What is the name of the planet nearest to earth?
Venus, Mars or (rarely) Mercury. Venus can approach nearest to Earth, but the planets' distances change as they orbit the Sun.
What planet has the greatest change in radius distance as it revolves around its primary body which is the sun?
Pluto :) Another viewpoint: Pluto is only a "dwarf planet". So, I think the answer is Mercury. Mercury has the most elliptical orbit of the planets. However, Mercury also has the smallest orbit. So, its distance from the Sun varies most in percentage terms, but not necessarily in actual kilometers. In fact, in kilometers, the answer is Uranus.
Is it true that the orbits of Pluto and Neptune overlap each other at times?
Despite the fact that Pluto and Neptune temporarily change places in their distance from the Sun, they will never collide. This is due to two reasons: First, Pluto's orbit is inclined to the ecliptic by 17 degrees. So even though we say their orbits "cross," Pluto is actually quite a distance "above" Neptune. Secondly, Pluto orbits the Sun twice for every three orbits of Neptune. The two planets are said to be in a "resonance orbit." For such orbits, the two bodies never get close to each other. In fact, the closest the two planets come to each other is 2 billion kilometers.
Is mercury or neptune closer to the earth?
Those distances change constantly, but Mercury isalways closer to the Earth than Neptune everis.
In geocetric system what is the arrangement of planets?
The order would change depending on whether the planet was on the same side of the sun or the fr side.But, subject to that, Venus, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.
What are the 2 new planets in the solar system?
The Uranus was the newest planet of the Solar System. I think this was made in 90s but there are no newest planets in the Solar System. The Planets in the Solar System is: Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus (Newest) Neptune Pluto (Dwarf Planet/Planet) As you can see, there's no two "(Newest)" in the lists of planets but there is one but sorry, the list did not change.

How many planets in the solar system and name them all?
well right now there are eight planets in our solar system!(not including Pluto) 1.) Mercury 2.) Venus 3.) Earth 4.) Mars 5.) Jupiter 6.) Saturn 7.) Uranus 8.) Neptune But if you want to include Pluto, you can if you would like too! that would make Pluto the ninth planet! it's really easy to remember the way the planets go order, and theire names! IT'S My=MERCURY Very=VENUS Eager=EARTH Mother=MARS Just=JUPITER Served=SATURN Us=URANUS Nuggets=NEPTUNE and if you would like to add Pluto all you do is change NUGGETS to NINE! Nine=NEPTUNE Peices=PLUTO
How many planets make up the solar system?
There are currently eighteen known planets and two protoplanets in our solar system. We are always discovering more, so this may change. This is also widely debated, because different scientists think differently about how "planet" should be classified. It is common for scientists to only acknowledge eight planets in our system, and it is true that there are eight main planets. However, there are also ten dwarf planets, which are a form of small rocky planet. For a list of objects that make up the solar system, see the related links.
What planet is the farthest from the earth?
Neptune is the furthest planet from the Earth.Previously the furthest planet was Pluto, however is it no longer officially classed as a planet.As far as those bodies officially considered planets today, Neptune is farthest from earth. Some of the dwarf planets - Pluto being best known - are farther away.The distance between planets is always changing. Pluto would be the furthest away from us normally, but it is not regarded as a planet now, and in fact it can occasionally be nearer to the sun than Neptune. So the answer is that Neptune is the planet furthest away from us, within our solar system. There are planets in other solar systems and new ones are still being discovered and they are much further from us than Neptune.As far as those bodies officially considered planets today, Neptune is farthest from earth. Some of the dwarf planets - Pluto being best known - are farther away.Pluto is no longer considered a planet so Neptune

What planets are capable of maintaining a gaseous atmosphere?
All the planets are capable of maintaining a gaseous atmosphere, but Mercury and Mars have only very thin atmospheres - to the point that Mercury is usually considered to not have an atmosphere and Mars is considered to barely have an atmosphere. Earth is still maintaining an atmosphere - for which we should all be grateful (despite gloom and doom predictions from global climate change enthusiasts this is unlikely to change any time soon) Venus has an extremely thick atmosphere. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are "gas giants" - which means the atmosphere of each planet occupies the majority of the volume - we think. At the very least they all definitely have considerable atmospheres.
Characteristics of outer planets?
The four outer planets; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are all much larger than the inner planets. These outer planets have no real surface, they are composed mainly of Hydrogen and helium gas, which gets thicker and thicker until the extreme pressures closer to the core of the planets change the state of the gases. The outer planets are much colder than the inner planets due to their distance from the sun, they take much longer to orbit the sun due to this distance. The outer planets are a lot larger than the inner planets.
