What else can I help you with?
Are the stars rocks?
Stars are not rocks. Stars are massive balls of gas (mostly hydrogen and helium) that produce energy through nuclear fusion in their cores. Rocks, on the other hand, are solid materials made up of minerals and are found on planets and moons.
What are two characteristics of inner planets?
Made of rock and have few or no moons.
Which planet has more than 7 moons and rings of dust sized particles?
Each of the four outer gas giant planets has several moons and each of them also has a ring system which is made up of dust particles and rocks. These four outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
What planets have rings what are they made of?
The rings are mainly made of from dust, ice or rubble from that planet.Most moons are asteroids or bits of the planet that have broken off of the planet caught in the gravitational pull from the planet.
What 3 ways do inner planets differ from outer planets?
Inner planets are smaller and made of rock and metal, while outer planets are larger and predominantly made of gas and ice. Inner planets have few or no moons, while outer planets have numerous moons. Inner planets have solid surfaces, while outer planets do not have solid surfaces, instead having thick atmospheres.
What it the solar system?
the solar system is made up with space rocks, stars, moons, and planets.
What is the main difference between moons and planets?
moons are usually lumps of rocks caught in a planets gravitational pull planets can be made of gas and have to be a certain(Pluto is no longer a planet because it is too small)
What are asteroid belts made of?
Pieces of rocks made of minerals similar to those that are formed the rocky planets and moons.
How are moons and planets alike?
Most but not all larger MOONS (bodies that orbit planets, moons, or asteroids) accreted in the same way that PLANETS did, assuming a variable density and a nearly spherical shape. Very large moons such as Titan have many of the characteristics of planets: vulcanism, atmospheres, and weather. Generally speaking, moons orbit planets in the same way that planets orbit stars.
Asteroids are rocks left over from when the solar system was formed as the planets and moons do they?
yes they are. when the planets were first made, they crashed together and the astroids broke off the planets
What planets are made out of the same things as moons?
"Moons" can be made of rocks, water, ice, methane ice, ethane ice, dust, sulfur, volcanoes, and so forth. The planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are made of many of the same things, with the possible exception of the methane and ethane ices.
Why is the moon made of rocks?
Most of the gasses were swept out of the inner solar system by the solar wind, leaving rock as the most abundant material to form planets and moons.
Why do moons and planets shine?
Because god made them that way
Are the stars rocks?
Stars are not rocks. Stars are massive balls of gas (mostly hydrogen and helium) that produce energy through nuclear fusion in their cores. Rocks, on the other hand, are solid materials made up of minerals and are found on planets and moons.
What are two characteristics of inner planets?

What planets is made of rocks?
The planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are made of rock.
Which planets are made of rocks and gases?
it is venus
