What do you notice about temperature of planet as they become more distant from the sun?

As planets become more distant from the Sun, their temperatures generally decrease. This is primarily due to the diminishing intensity of solar radiation received at greater distances. For example, outer planets like Neptune and Uranus are significantly colder than inner planets like Mercury and Venus, which receive more direct sunlight. Consequently, the thermal environment of a planet is closely linked to its distance from the Sun.


What planets are referred to as inner planets?

The solar system can be divided in two parts, by the asteroid belt. The planets that are closer to the sun than the asteroid belt are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. These are the inner planets. The planets more distant from the sun than the asteroid belt are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Those are the outer planets. And even farther out are the dwarf planets and comets.


Do the inner planets have closely spaced orbits?

Yes, the inner planets—Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars—have relatively closely spaced orbits compared to the outer planets. Their orbits are tighter and more compact, primarily due to their proximity to the Sun. This results in shorter orbital periods and smaller average distances between their orbits compared to the larger, more distant orbits of the outer planets.


Which planets are closest in orbital speed?

The orbital speeds are higher when closer to the sun, but slower and more similar as you move out. The two that are closest in speed are Uranus and Neptune. Uranus at 6.8352 km/sec and Neptune at 5.4778 km/sec.


Who calculated that more distant planets orbit the sun more slowly?

Johannes Kepler formulated this relationship, known as Kepler's third law of planetary motion, which states that the square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit. This implies that planets further away from the sun take longer to complete one orbit.

What are the distant planets?

They're all distant. The gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn) are more distant than the inner planets (Mars, Venus). Exoplanets (planets around other stars are even (far) more distant.

What is a here-and-now argument?

Why is it easier to see the motions of planets than to see the motions of stars?

Planets are a lot closer, so their apparent motion is a lot more noticeable. If you stand on a hill and look at a distant highway, the cars may seem to be barely moving; your friend walking nearby (at a much slower speed) will appear to be moving much faster.

The more distant the orbit, the longer the year.

Two planets in a distant solar systems have the radius but different masses on which world would you weigh more?

If they have the same radius but different masses, then you wouldweigh more on the planet with the larger mass.
