Which characteristic of the gas giants decreases with increasing distance from the sun?

Characteristic details given: A.) equatorial diameter B.) period of rotation C.) number of moons D.) both A and C Answer : D.) both A and C


Is it true temperatures decrease tremendously from the outer to inner layers of gas giants?

No, temperatures generally do not decrease from the outer to inner layers of gas giants. Instead, as you move deeper into the atmosphere of gas giants like Jupiter or Saturn, temperatures typically increase due to the immense pressure and gravitational compression. This rising temperature is a result of the increasing density and pressure of the gases, leading to complex thermal dynamics within these planets.


Which characteristic of the planets in our solar system increases as the distance from the Sun increases?

As the distance from the Sun increases, the density of the planets generally decreases. Inner planets, like Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, are rocky and denser, while the outer planets, such as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, are gas giants or ice giants with lower overall density. Additionally, the sizes of the planets tend to increase with distance, with the outer planets being significantly larger than the inner ones.


What aspect of gas giants is most responsible for their low tremperatures?

Distance from the sun.


Why do inner planets have shorter revolution periods than the gas giants?

It doesn't matter that the gas giants are giant; what matters is their distance from the Sun. Inner planets have shorter revolution periods for two reasons: (1) they move faster; and (2) the total distance they have to travel is less.

Why are gas giants so cold?

Because of their distance from the sun

How does the distances of earth from Sun compare to the distance of the gas giants from the sun?

The closest gas giant, Jupiter, is about 5 AU from the Sun - that is, 5 times the distance from Sun to Earth. The other gas giants are farther away.
