Sheer distance. We are talking about millions and millions of miles alone between Earth and Mars. When you factor in the distance between other planets, like from Jupiter to Saturn, the expanse of space only grows. It takes time to travel that far.

Why does it take the pouter planets so long to orbit the sun?

The outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun, because they are farther away from the Sun. It make its gravitational pull weaker to the farther planets. That means that the outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun.


Why does it take so long for the outer planets to orbit?

The outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun due to their greater distance from it. According to Kepler's laws of planetary motion, the time it takes for a planet to complete an orbit increases with the radius of that orbit. As a result, the gravitational pull from the Sun weakens with distance, leading to slower orbital speeds for these distant planets. Consequently, planets like Neptune and Uranus take many Earth years to complete a single orbit.


Why no continents on other planets?

I assume there is life other than ours on other planets, but seeing as we can only go so far with technology, satellites and astronauts, we have not found a 'parallel universe' or 'aliens' yet. Life on other planet would not be so close to Earth, so we will keep looking and hopefully one day find life on other planets. To directly answer your question, there are no other continents or countries on other planets because we have not discovered any new planets recently or advanced life on a planet, solar system or galaxy other than ours. Other planets with civilization may be trillions and trillions and trillions of light years away.

When you return from space will earth be in the same place?

depends were you go because some planets are so far away it would take years to reach them (just the ones in our solar system) not to mention how long and if you come back depends were you go because some planets are so far away it would take years to reach them (just the ones in our solar system) not to mention how long and if you come back

Which planets are often called the rocky planets and why are they called so?

Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are the Rocky planets. They are called so simply because they are rocky, their outer layer is solid. All other planets in the solar system are gaseous.


Why don't astronauts visit other planets?

Currently our technology is not well enough developed to send someone to another planet and return them safely. A lot of work still needs to be done before this can happen. It would be very expensive to go to other planets. It would also take a long time to get there and to get back. So there are many problems to be dealt with before it will be possible to do it.
