How did hades come to be god of the greek underworld?
Hades became the god of the Greek underworld by drawing lots with his brothers Zeus and Poseidon after defeating the Titans in a war. Hades drew the realm of the underworld as his domain, while Zeus became the ruler of the sky and Poseidon ruled the seas.
What is a small spherical object that orbiting the sun?
A small spherical object orbiting the sun would be called a planet, asteroid, or comet, depending on its characteristics and orbit.
Which planet used to be a planet but is not now?
Pluto used to be classified as the ninth planet in our solar system, but it was reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006 by the International Astronomical Union due to its size and orbit characteristics.
What type of water makes up the majority of the hydrosphere?
Saltwater makes up the majority of the hydrosphere, accounting for about 97% of the Earth's water. This includes oceans and seas. Freshwater makes up the remaining 3%, found in sources like lakes, rivers, and glaciers.
The time it takes for a planet to orbit the sun is known as its orbital period. The order of planets from shortest to longest orbital period is: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Mercury has the shortest orbital period of about 88 Earth days, while Neptune has the longest orbital period of about 165 Earth years.
How did distance from the sun affect the size and composition of the plantes?
Planets closer to the sun tend to be smaller and have rockier compositions, while planets farther from the sun tend to be larger and have more gaseous compositions. This is due to the different conditions and materials available at varying distances from the sun during the formation of the solar system.
What is the diameter of Pluto to the sun?
The average distance between Pluto and the Sun is about 3.67 billion miles. Pluto's diameter is approximately 1,473 miles.
What would happen if planets didn't rotate?
Well this isn't a very hard question to answer. The Earth is spinning rapidly, now how fast? I'm highly unsure of, let's make a guess say, 16,000MPh-32,000MPh giver take. If the earth were to stop it's rotational orbit around the sun lots of different possibilities could happen.
If the Earth stopped slowly "in it's spinning rotation on it's axis for say" one side of the earth would become frozen to the cruel dark coldness of space, as the other side would become boiling balls hot. Which would make it unmanageable to live. Take one hand you'll boil or burn to death, or freeze it's a lose lose really.
Now if the Earth came to a screaching hault, and stopped on a dime it would have a semi truck effect with a trailer for say. Pretend the truck is the suns gravitational rotation pull which is draging us around. And a deer comes out in front of the truck as it's going 70MPh-90MPh and tryed to make an instent stop. The trailer, "Earth" would start violently moving left to right trying to keep up and everything in it will be violently throwen left to right, up and down, and other directions those boxes and items, "boxes being land, items being living creatures" would be deystroyed and the trailer would detach from the truck "the rotational pull" and go sliding else where.
Now hopefully ones of these options won't happen and it seems logical to me. But I hope this made sense and answered your question.
Is Lebanon bigger than New York City?
No, New York City is bigger than Lebanon in terms of population and area. New York City has a population of about 8.4 million people, while Lebanon has a population of around 6.8 million. New York City also covers a larger area than Lebanon.
Does the name 'Ellie' evolve or come from any of the Greek gods?
Where the name Ellie come from?
The name Ellie originates (comes from) the name Helen.
What is the length of one year compared to the earth in ganymede?
One year on Ganymede, which is a moon of Jupiter, is equivalent to about 7.15 Earth days. Ganymede's orbit around Jupiter is much shorter than Earth's orbit around the Sun, which takes approximately 365.25 days.
Which planets are terrestrial planets and which planets are gas giants?
Earth's solar system has four terrestrial planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. Only one terrestrial planet, Earth, is known to have an active hydrosphere.
During the formation of the solar system, there were probably many more (planetesimals), but they have all merged with or been destroyed by the four remaining worlds in the solar nebula.
Plutoids, objects like Pluto, are similar to terrestrial planets in the fact that they do have a solid surface, but are composed of more icy materials
A gas giant (sometimes also known as a Jovian planet after the planet Jupiter, or giant planet) is a large planet that is not primarily composed of rock or other solid matter. There are four gas giants in our Solar System: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Many extrasolar gas giants have been identified orbiting other stars.
Planets above 10 Earth masses are termed giant planets.[1] Below 10 Earth masses they are called super earths or, sometimes probably more accurately for the higher mass examples, "Gas Dwarfs" e.g. as suggested by MIT Professor Sara Seager[citation needed] for Gliese 581c using a model where that exoplanet was mostly composed of hydrogen and helium. The term "gas dwarf" was also used previously by others.[2][3]
Objects above 13 Jupiter masses are called brown dwarfs and these occupy the mass range between that of large gas giant planets and the lowest mass stars.
Both Neptune and Pluto were discovered in the early 20th century. Neptunium and Plutonium were later named after these planets by scientists involved in the discovery of these elements, reflecting the trend of naming newly discovered elements after celestial bodies around that time. The names also carry on the tradition of using Roman mythology in naming elements.
no. Answer: This question cannot be answered without a visit and examination of Pluto. Life adapted to conditions on Pluto may exist. Life from Earth could not exist there without special protective equipment. A possible exception to this statement is the Water Bear or Tardigrade, a very small crittter that can: * at 151 C * at -200 C for extended periods
* at -272 C for minutes (almost absolute zero) * in a vacuum * dehydrated for at least 120 years
When will planets bump into other planets?
Planets in our solar system are on stable orbits and are not expected to collide with each other. However, in the broader universe, planet collisions can occur when two planetary bodies are on a collision course or if a disruption in their orbits leads to a collision. The likelihood of such events depends on various factors, including the density of objects in space and their trajectories.
Why Pluto is put out of solar system?
Pluto is still in our solar system. However it is not considered a planet anymore due to the fact that over the last few decades, powerful new ground and space-based observatories have completely changed previous understanding of the outer Solar System. Instead of being the only planet in its region, like the rest of the Solar System, Pluto and its moons are now known to be just a large example of a collection of objects called the Kuiper Belt. This region extends from the orbit of Neptune out to 55 astronomical units (55 times the distance of the Earth to the Sun).
Astronomers estimate that there are at least 70,000 icy objects, with the same composition as Pluto, that measure 100 km across or more in the Kuiper Belt. And according to the new rules, Pluto is not a planet. It's just another Kuiper Belt object.
How many times does Pluto rotate a day?
Pluto takes more than a day to rotate. It takes about 6.39 Earth days.
How is Pluto's discovery similar to that of Neptune?
Both Pluto and Neptune were discovered by observing deviations in the movement of other planets from what they were calculated to be, and from that calculating where something else should be that was causing those deviations.
What is the small outer planet that has a rocky core?
Mercury is considered the smallest rocky planet in our solar system. It has a rocky core and is closest to the Sun.
What invention helped early scientists discover more planets?
The invention of the telescope by Galileo Galilei in the early 1600s helped early scientists discover more planets. By using telescopes to observe the night sky, astronomers were able to see celestial objects more clearly and detect planets that were previously invisible to the naked eye.
When you say that a planet has a highly eccentric orbit you means that?
The orbit of a planet is highly eccentric when it is more elongated rather than circular. This means the planet's distance from the sun varies significantly throughout its orbit, resulting in periods of being closer and then farther away from the sun.
Which planet takes almost 2 earth years to orbit the sun?
the planet takes almost 2 earth years to orbit the sun is Jupiter
What do you mean when you speak of a substance composition?
A substance's composition is what it is made out of. Koolaid's composition is water and koolaid powder.
Alternatively, it could mean what someone makes, although that is much less common. By that I mean, a song would be a musician's composition.
How does Jupiter take to orbit the sun?
It takes Jupiter just 3 earth days to orbit the sun. Even though Jupiter is many millions of kms farther away than earth from the sun, the suns gravitational pull on Jupiter is more massive as Jupiter is thousands of times larger than the earth.
Which planet revolves very slowly around thesun?
