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.


What two properties of stars do scientists plot on a hertz sprung-Russell diagram?

Scientists plot the luminosity and surface temperature of stars on a Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. The horizontal axis represents the surface temperature, which decreases from left to right, while the vertical axis represents the luminosity, increasing upwards. This diagram helps illustrate the relationship between these properties and classifies stars into different categories, such as main sequence, giants, and white dwarfs.
