What are the differences between the eight planets and the sun?
The sun is a star that emits light and heat, while the eight planets are celestial bodies that orbit around it. The planets are primarily composed of rock or gas, while the sun is made up mostly of hydrogen and helium. The planets have various sizes, compositions, and atmospheres, while the sun is much larger and mainly consists of plasma.
Can the sun swallow all eight planets?
No, the sun cannot swallow all eight planets. The sun is much larger than the planets in our solar system, but it will not engulf them. However, the sun will eventually expand into a red giant and could engulf the innermost planets.
Why sun can not revolve around the planets?
The sun is much larger and more massive than the planets in our solar system, so it exerts a much stronger gravitational force. This gravitational force keeps the planets in orbit around the sun, rather than the other way around. Additionally, the sun is a star that generates its own energy through nuclear fusion, making it the central body around which the planets orbit.
How much would you weigh on each of the eight planets of our solar system?
It depends on how much you weigh on Earth. You can use this cool calculator to enter you weight and see:https://www.exploratorium.edu/ronh/weight/
What are the eight planets and what do they do in the solar system?
The 8 planets are: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Mars, Venus, Mercury, Neptune, and of course our planet, Earth. Their is another planet called Pluto but NASA claimed it as 'not to be a planet' because it is too small. All the planets are round and are spinning around. While spinning, they orbit around the Sun. Mercury takes 88 days to go around the Sun, making it the fastest out of all the planets in the Solar System. Pluto is the slowest and takes 428 earth years. The Sun gives Earth, and all the planet, light and heat energy. The planets near the Sun are much hotter than Earth. The planet farther from the Sun are much, much colder. You can find Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn in the night sky. They look like bright stars. However they do not make light like the stars. We can see them because they reflect the light of the Sun. To see Uranus, Neptune and Pluto you need a telescope because they are so far away.
What are satellies used for?
artificial satellites are used for scientists to study planets and take pictures and learn about space. natural satellites are just pretty much there, they rotate the planets just like our planets rotate the sun. the moon is one of earth's natural satellites.

How much planets do we now?
We know of eight (8) in our solar system, and we know of a few hundred other stars that have planets although we can't actually see the planets.
Do Saturn and earth rotate about an axis?
All planets rotate, although Venus does so very slowly. The spin of the planets represents the momentum remaining from their formation (accretion) when the solar system formed. Saturn rotates much more quickly than the Earth, which has been slowed by the gravitational effect of the Moon.
The planets where made before people?
The planets have been around much longer than people.
Can the sun swallow all eight planets?
No, the sun cannot swallow all eight planets. The sun is much larger than the planets in our solar system, but it will not engulf them. However, the sun will eventually expand into a red giant and could engulf the innermost planets.
How long do planets take to rotate once?
The time it takes for a planet to complete one rotation on its axis is known as its sidereal day. For example, Earth takes approximately 24 hours to complete one rotation. Other planets like Venus have longer rotation periods, for instance 243 Earth days for Venus to rotate once.
How much does earth rotate in six hours?
in average speed it has to be around 648000km
Why do the gas planets have many moons?
The gas planets are much more massive than the terrestrial planets and therefore have stronger gravity. It is believed that as they formed many of their moons formed around them much like the planets formed around the sun. Other moons are likely captured asteroids and comets.
Do all comets rotate on their axis counterclockwise?
Not necessarily. Comets can rotate in either direction on their axis, some rotate counterclockwise while others rotate clockwise. The direction of rotation is determined by various factors such as the direction the comet formed or collisions it may have experienced.
Which planets rotate counter clockwise?
Most planets spin counter-clockwise in our solar system, the same direction as they orbit (as seen looking down from above the Earth's north pole); the exceptions are Venus which spins clockwise (i.e., retrograde or "upside down"), and Uranus which rotates pretty much on its side (about 98 degrees to the plane of the ecliptic).
How is the Sun different from the four planets?
"The" four planets is wrong - there are eight known planets around the Sun.The Sun is much more massive than any of the planets. It has about 1000 times the mass of Jupiter, the most massive planet. As a result, it is also extremely hot.
