The further away from the sun, the less light/heat/radiation reaches it, it also means that the orbit is longer. The outer planets are all gaseous (the gas giants) due to the pressure difference

What is the distance from the planets?

the distance from the planets is 6.5 million miles between each planet.


Why does each planet have different facts?

Each planet has different characteristics, such as size, distance from the sun, and composition, that result in unique facts about each planet. Factors like gravity, atmosphere, and temperature also play a role in determining the specific features and conditions found on each planet.


Do planets collide when the distance of the planets from the sun change?

The distance of the planets from the sun does not change because of the gravity surrounding each planet is pulling them into continuous orbit.


What effect does the order of the planets have on each planet?

The order of the planets in our solar system is primarily based on their distance from the Sun. This order influences factors such as their average temperature, composition, and orbital characteristics. Planets closer to the Sun are typically hotter and composed of rocky materials, while those farther away tend to be colder and composed of gas and ice.


Why should planets keep a distance from each other?

Planets don't really choose to keep a certain distance from eachother, its just how gravity pulls them. For example the Asteriod Belt is kept in its place because the Jupiter's and the sun's influence of their gravitational pull.

How does the distance between the inner planets differ from the distance between the outer planets?

The distance between the inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) is comparatively smaller than the distance between the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) in our solar system. The inner planets are closer to the Sun and each other, while the outer planets are much farther apart due to the gap between the terrestrial and gas giant planets.


What keeps the planets the same distance from each other?

The force of gravity between the planets and the sun keeps them in their respective orbits, maintaining their approximate distances from each other. This gravitational force acts as a centripetal force, balancing the planets' inertia and keeping them in stable orbits around the sun.


Which two planets are farthest apart from each other?

Neptune and Mercury are the two planets farthest apart from each other in terms of distance in our solar system.


Are the planets in your solar system about the same distance apart?

No because the distance between them are always changing. If you were trying to ask if the orbital paths of all the planets about the same distance apart then the answer is still no. The distance from each orbital path varies from each planet to the next. The orbital path of Neptune and Pluto cross one another so this also answers the question, no.


Which two neighboring planets have the greatest distance between them?

The two neighboring planets with the greatest distance between them is Neptune and Uranus. This happens when they are at the opposite sides of the Sun at approximately. They are 4500 million miles away from each other.


How does the order of planets affect the revolution around the sun?

The order of planets does not directly affect their revolution around the sun. Each planet follows its own unique orbit path based on its distance from the sun and its orbital speed, which are determined by its gravitational interactions with the sun. The order of planets is simply a result of their formation in the early solar system.


What is the distance between Venus and the other planets in the Solar System?

well they are millions of miles away from each other
