Why are Jupiter and saturn not spherical?
They rotate fast and are big with gaseous surfaces. So they are "fatter" at the equator than a perfect sphere, because of the "centrifugal" effect.
Does the oort cloud go between mars and Jupiter?
No, the Oort Cloud is a spherical region of icy objects that lies far beyond the orbit of Neptune, extending out to about halfway to the nearest star. It is not located between Mars and Jupiter, which is where the asteroid belt is found.
Is asteroid feild spherical?
No, an asteroid field is not spherical; it typically consists of a collection of irregularly shaped asteroids scattered throughout a three-dimensional space. These fields can vary in density and distribution, often resembling a belt or cloud rather than a uniform sphere. The most well-known example is the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, which is more of a flattened disk than a spherical region.
Why are mars moons and the smaller moons of the outer planets an irregular shape while the larger moons discussed in the exploration are spherical?
Mars' moons are much smaller than, for example, Earth's Moon, or the larger moons of Jupiter. A large moon will have a larger gravity, which will tend to pull the moon together into a spherical shape.
What is the oblateness of Mercury?
Mercury has an oblateness, or flattening at the poles, of about 0.034 due to its rotation. This means it is more spherical than some other planets like Jupiter, which has a higher oblateness.
How many legs are there on Jupiter?
The planet Jupiter is roughly spherical in shape and has no legs.
Why does Eros have an irregular shape instead of a spherical shape?
Jupiter's gravity It is not massive enough to pull itself into a spherical shape like something the size of the moon or Earth.
Is there a shape starting with the letter J?
The planet Jupiter is a spherical shape
Why is Amalthea not spherical like Jupiter's other moons?
this is rayauna and i dont know "http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Why_is_Amalthea_not_spherical_like_Jupiter%27s_other_moons"
Why is Jupiter a planet?
Jupiter is a planet because it orbits the Sun, is spherical in shape, and has cleared its orbit of other debris by its gravitational influence. It meets all the criteria set by the International Astronomical Union to be classified as a planet.
Why are Jupiter and saturn not spherical?
They rotate fast and are big with gaseous surfaces. So they are "fatter" at the equator than a perfect sphere, because of the "centrifugal" effect.
What object is least likely to have a spherical shape?
Mercury has about the most perfectly spherical shape, but Saturn has the leastspherical shape (next least spherical is Jupiter).
How is jupter like a star?
Jupiter and stars are both spherical (ball-shaped) and they both orbit a larger body of some sort. Jupiter orbits our Sun, and stars orbit the center of their galaxy, and sometimes stars orbit another close star.
How many times does Jupiter go into the Sun?
Uranus is 63 times the volume of Earth, 1321 times the volume of Earth. Based on this and ignoring the spherical characteristics of both planets, Jupiter is approximately 20 times the volume of Uranus.
How many of Earth's moon can fit inside Jupiter?
Jupiter has a planetary volume of 1321 times that of the Earth. The Moon has a volume 0.020 times that of the earth. so the volume of Jupiter is 66,050 times the volume of the earth's Moon.If you ignore the spaces left vacant by the spherical shape of the moon, you would fit 66,050 Earth moons inside Jupiter; considerably fewer if you are really packing spheres the size of Earth's moon within a sphere of Jupiter's volume.
Is Jupiter round because of gravity rotating?
No. It is round because of gravity, not because of rotation. For most purposes gravity does not rotate. Jupiter's rotation actually causes it to deviate from a perfect spherical shape, making it a bit wider across the equator than it is from pole to pole.
Does the oort cloud go between mars and Jupiter?
No, the Oort Cloud is a spherical region of icy objects that lies far beyond the orbit of Neptune, extending out to about halfway to the nearest star. It is not located between Mars and Jupiter, which is where the asteroid belt is found.
