Are Mercury and Venus less of greater than 1 AU from the sun?
They are less than 1 AU from the sun.
In astronomical units how far from the sun is Venus?
less than 1 au
What is smaller an astronomical unit or the average size of Neptune's orbit?
An astronomical unit (AU) is smaller than the average size of Neptune's orbit. 1 AU is the average distance between the Earth and the Sun, which is about 93 million miles. Neptune's average distance from the Sun is about 30 astronomical units, making it significantly larger than the distance of 1 AU.
What planets that we know of have less than 15 satellites?
Planets with fewer than 15 known satellites are: Mercury (0), Venus (0), Earth (1), Mars (2), Neptune (14). Note that because of its great distance from us it is possible that Neptune has undiscovered satellites.
Do inner planets orbit the sun at higher speeds than outer planets?
They don't... An inner planet such as Mercury has an orbital speed of 107,00 MPH when compared to the outer most "planet" Pluto which rotates at 10,500 MPH. The gravitational restraints of the sun is greater on the inner planets than the outer allowing them to rotate faster without flying off into space. It's simple physics, the concepts of Centrifugal Force.
Are Mercury and Venus less of greater than 1 AU from the sun?
They are less than 1 AU from the sun.
Which planets are less than one AU from the Sun?
Mercury and Venus are the only planets in our solar system that are less than one astronomical unit (AU) away from the Sun. Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, with an average distance of about 0.39 AU, while Venus is next, with an average distance of about 0.72 AU.
Which planets orbit less than 1 AU and why?
An Au is defined as the average orbital radius between the Earth and the Sun. It's a shorthand unit used to make Keplar's Laws calculations easier. Since the distance between Earth and the Sun is equal to 1 AU, all the planets between Earth and the Sun orbit less than one AU away from earth. In addition it is possible that Mars also orbits 1 AU away from Earth, but I am not certain as to weither or not it actually does.
How many planets are located 1 AU or less from the sun, and how did you determine this information?
There are four planets located 1 AU or less from the sun: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. This information is determined by measuring the average distance of each planet from the sun in astronomical units (AU), with 1 AU being the average distance from Earth to the sun.
Is mars more or less than 1 AU from the sun?
Mars orbits beyond Earth, so it is more than 1 AU from the sun.
Is mercury less than 1 AU from the sun?
Yes, always.
In astronomical units how far from the sun is Venus?
less than 1 au
How much farther from the sun is the planets Saturn than earth?
Saturn is nearly 10 AU from the sun. (Earth is 1).
Which planets have a year shorter than the Earth's year?
Mercury and Venus both orbit the sun at less than 1 astronomical unit (AU). Mercury orbits the sun at an average distance of .387 AU (about 58 million km) and Venus orbits at an average distance of .723 AU (about 108 million km). Compare these distances to 1 AU which is about 150 million km, which happens to be the average sun to earth distance; which defines the astronomical unit.
Is Saturn more than one AU from the sun?
Yes, much more. The average distance of Earth from the Sun is the Astronomical Unit (AU).Five planets are more than 1 AU from the Sun:Mars average : 1.5 AUJupiter average: 5.2 AUSaturn average: 9.6 AUUranus average : 19.2 AUNeptune average: 30.1 AU
What is the distance of all planets form the sun?
All the planets in the Solar System have elliptical orbits so that their distance from the sun varies over the course of their orbit. In terms of Astronomical Units (AU), the average distance of the Earth from the Sun,the planetary distances are: Mercury: 0.4 AU Venus: 0.7 AU Earth: 1 AU Mars: 1.5 AU Jupiter: 5.2 AU Saturn: 9.5 AU Uranus: 19.2 AU Neptune: 30 AU. 1 AU = exactly 149,597,870,700 metres (or about 150 million km).
How far are the dwarf planets?
Of the current dwarf planets ("Current Members"). From the Sun Ceres = 2.77 AU Pluto = 39.48 AU Haumea = 43.34 AU Makemake = 45.79 AU Eris = 67.67 AU From Earth at the closest approach. Ceres = 1.77 AU Pluto = 38.48 AU Haumea = 42.34 AU Makemake = 44.79 AU Eris = 66.67 AU Where 1 AU = 150 million kilometres or 93 million miles (Approximately).
