What is the name of the sixteenth century monk that was burned at the stake for believing there is life on other planets?
Most likely a witch, hence the reason it was burned!
The reason that small planets tend to lose interior heat faster than larger planets is essentially the same as the reason that?
small objects cool faster than large objects: their smaller size-to-surface area ratio means they have less capacity to retain heat. The larger surface area of small planets relative to their volume leads to more efficient heat loss. This results in faster cooling of their interiors compared to larger planets.
What is the reason that planets stay in orbit?
The gravitational pull from the sun. God put them there.
Why are Jupiter and Saturn and Uranus and Neptune are call gaseous planets?
The reason they call it that is because they're bascially gigantic balls compared to our earth and the ther 3 rocky inner planets and they also have outer layer of gases making them all gaseous planets.
What is the reason for the direction of revolution of the planets?
it's just random _____________________ It is not likely to be random. First, that would mean that only one [on average] in every 256 solar systems similar to ours and with 8 planets would all planets revolve (orbit) in the same direction [2 to the power 8]. More important, according to current understanding, all the planets formed from a huge 'accretion disk' of materials orbiting around the sun. It would be hard to explain that some regions of such a disk could be orbiting one way, and other sections orbiting in another. It is much more likely that the planets are continuing the original pattern of the materials in the accretion disk.

What is the main reason you could not land on outer planets er planets?
The outer planets are gas planets
The sun is a source of what?
Heat for all the planets and the main reason for the orbits of the planets.
What are the planets for?
there isn't actually a reason for "what are planets for" but they might be for life forms. planets are not for anything really, they just got made by gravity.
How does the makeup of the planets change once you pass the asteroid belt?
Beyond the asteroid belt, the planets are massive gas giants. The reason for this is that they have retained most of their hydrogen and helium, which the inner planets did not. Had they formed closer to the Sun, they might have become rocky and terrestrial as well. The icy dwarf planets beyond Neptune would likely not survive if they were warmer : most of their mass is frozen gases.
Why do the planets appear shiny from space?
Other planets appear shiny from Earth for the same reason the moon does, we see the other planets' reflected sunlight.
What are the two main reason why Jovian planets have much thicker atmoshperes than the Terrestrial planets?
While terrestrial planets are made of rock and have gases in the atmosphere, jovian planets are made almost entirly of gases. If an atmosphere is made of gases in a planet, then the atmosphere of the planets with more gases will be thicker.
Why are the 4 planets called terrestrial planets?
They are called the terrestrial planets because they are similar to Earth (in fact one of them is Earth.
Gravity is the reason that the planets stay in orbit around the sun?
It is half the reason, at least. Gravity is the force pulling the planets towards the sun, but they also have a velocity working perpendicular to it. With the velocity alone, the planets would fly off into space. With gravity alone, the planets would be pulled into the sun.
The reason that small planets tend to lose interior heat faster than larger planets is essentially the same as the reason that?
small objects cool faster than large objects: their smaller size-to-surface area ratio means they have less capacity to retain heat. The larger surface area of small planets relative to their volume leads to more efficient heat loss. This results in faster cooling of their interiors compared to larger planets.
Who proposed the reason that planets orbit the sun?
i think ptolemy
What is the reason why the planets orbit the sun?
It is due to the conservation of momentum.
