Planets are celestial bodies that orbit around stars, have sufficient mass for their self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces, and have cleared their surrounding region of other debris by gravitational attraction. There are eight recognized planets in our solar system, including Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
Earth is the only planet known to have only 1 moon.
The Sun is a little larger than the average star, but is by no means "large". Our Sun might be in the top 20% of stars, but monster stars like Betelgeuse make the Sun look like a match compared to a bonfire.
There are 8 major planets, and 5 dwarf planets, in our solar system. There are also about a half dozen bodies that may be dwarf planets, though this status has not yet been confirmed. and more than a hundred more that may be considered in the future.Outside of our Solar System, there are billions. These are called exoplanets.In addition to the eight planets in our solar system, due to new equipment and new techniques, new planets are being found in other solar systems every week.
Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars
Yes...it protects the inner plannets from larger asteroids or commets that would have the chance to collide with one of the inner plannets. They interact with these possble colliding objects throught there mass and gravity to collide with the objects or divert their path.
the inner planets are closer to other thingsbut outter plannets are not
Earth is the only planet known to have only 1 moon.
We might find out soon But first wait until 4970. I'M GUESSING I don't know
All Planets do not lie inside the asteororid Belt . The answer is False
All the planets in the solar system can fit inside of Jupiter with room to spare. So, all the planets put together would almost be twice the size of Jupiter.
The word planet is from the Greek meaning wanderer. As the ancients looked up in the sky, they noticed that while some points of light moved in a circular motion (stars) others seemed to "wander" all over the place, sometime reversing direction. These "stars" as they didn't yet know about planets, were called wandering stars.
The planet between Earth and the Sun with a ring around it is called Venus. Although Venus does not have traditional rings like Saturn, it does have a thin ring of dust particles encircling the planet.
the main planets in order of closeness to the sun are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Pluto is now known as a dwarf planet as it is too small to class as a planet.
It takes a year to travle around the sun all plannets have a different year because a year is how long it takes to travel around the sun.http://http//www.answers.comsays "The period of time during which Earth completes a single revolution around the sun, consisting of 365 days, 5 hours, 49 minutes, and 12 seconds of mean solar time. In the Gregorian calendar the year begins on January 1 and ends on December 31 and is divided into 12 months, 52 weeks, and 365 or 366 days. Also called calendar year."
The toughest question in the world is understanding that the whole world is for each and everone irrespective of their nature and origin and we are fighting for cause even we know that it is for all. for e.g. The developments on earth and space are are not achievemnts but the path to destroy the cretures and plannets natural asset by vartue of self demolition process. new answer- 967799- the hardest question in the world is where did everything come from? some of you may say god created everything out of thin air but i believe otherwise i don't believe that but no one knows really where we came from........
