What is the largest of the bodies that orbit the sun?
Jupiter is both the most massive and the largest of those objects.
What methods has led to the most discoveries of massive planets orbiting near their parent stars?
The radial velocity method and the transit method have been most successful in discovering massive planets orbiting near their parent stars. The radial velocity method detects planets by measuring the wobble of the star caused by the gravitational pull of the planet, while the transit method detects planets by observing the dip in brightness as the planet passes in front of its star.
All meteorites collected on Earth come from asteroids or comets?
Most meteorites come from asteroids, which are rocky bodies orbiting the sun. Some meteorites could also come from comets, which are icy bodies. Both asteroids and comets can collide with Earth, resulting in meteorites.
What are some moons that begin with the letter C?
Jupiter has a small moon called Cyllene, about 2 km accross. Saturn has one called Calypso. Uranus a small moon called Cordelia and another called Cupid. Perhaps the most well known moon begining with `C` is Charon, a moon of the dwarf planet Pluto.
Which planet has the most suns orbiting around it?
Planets do not have suns orbiting around them. Suns have planets orbiting around them. The planet in our solar system with the highest number of discovered moons orbiting around it is Jupiter, with over 100.
What are four different type of celestial bodies?
Stars, planets, moons, and asteroids are four types of celestial bodies found in space. Stars are massive luminous spheres of plasma, planets are large bodies orbiting around stars, moons are natural satellites orbiting planets, and asteroids are small rocky bodies that orbit the Sun.
What is definition for Pluto?
Pluto is the largest object in the Kuiper belt, and the tenth-most-massive body observed directly orbiting the Sun. It is the second-most-massive known dwarf planet, after Eris.
Which object in your solar system is more than 700 times more massive than the eight planets combined?
The most massive object in most solar systems is the sun, which is the central star. Since stars differ in mass, and each star has something different orbiting it, most stars will be larger or smaller than 700x the mass of the bodies orbiting them. In the solar system of which Earth is a part, there are 18 planets, which all orbit the star Sol.
19 what methods has led to the most discoveries of massive planets orbiting near their parent stars?
The inclusion of some alternative methods is required to allow an answer to be written.
What are the largest satellite bodies orbiting the central star?
The largest satellite bodies orbiting the central star in our solar system are the gas giants: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. These planets have numerous moons, with Jupiter having the most satellites, including the largest moon in the solar system, Ganymede.
What is the largest of the bodies that orbit the sun?
Jupiter is both the most massive and the largest of those objects.
How planets and stats are different?
Planets are large bodies of gas or rock orbiting around a star. Stats graph data, such as who liked what most at a restaurant.
What methods has led to the most discoveries of massive planets orbiting near their parent stars?
The radial velocity method and the transit method have been most successful in discovering massive planets orbiting near their parent stars. The radial velocity method detects planets by measuring the wobble of the star caused by the gravitational pull of the planet, while the transit method detects planets by observing the dip in brightness as the planet passes in front of its star.
What are most state legislative bodies called?
Most state legislative bodies are referred to as parliament. In some cases they may be called the legislature or house of representatives.
What is a secondary star?
Within a binary star system, the most massive star is called the primary star, whereas the least massive star is called the secondary star. See related question.
Which country has the most satellites orbiting earth?
The United States has the most satellites orbiting Earth.
What is the planet that has the most orbiting it?
Saturn does
