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.
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.
Do rock planets or gas planets have more moons?
The gas planets have more moons. Of all the gas planets non has fewer than 14 moons. Of the rocky planets, none has more than two. Mercury and Venus have none at all.
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 closest to the farthest planets from the sun in order?
Starting closest to the sun, we have Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and the dwarf planet Pluto which you may or may not wish to include (there are also other, more distant dwarf planets including Eris and Sedna).
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 happens to sound waves as they move away from the source of the sound?
They get distant and more quieter
What is a here-and-now argument?
What happens now or in the near future is more important to most people than what happens in the distant future.
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.
What happens to the length of planet year as you move away from the sun?
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.
Who issues alien visa cards?
the people from mars, venus, Jupiter or more distant planets like ZargonB, Krypton, klingon or the planet where the chupacabras comes from

How are other planets different?
The other planets are different from the earth in various ways. This includes distances from the sun, size, rotational speed, element composition and so much more.
What tool made possible the discovery of additional planets?
The discovery of additional planets was made possible by advancements in telescope technology, particularly the development of large ground-based telescopes and space telescopes like the Hubble Space Telescope. These telescopes allowed astronomers to observe distant planets more effectively and detect previously unknown planets orbiting other stars.
When was celestial body discovered?
Celestial body is only a general name for an object in the sky, particlarly applied to the night sky (but including the Sun). The moon, stars, planets, etc., are considered celestial bodies. Most of them were identified by the ancients; in modern times the more distant planets from Earth were discovered by use of more powerful telescopes.
