Planetary Science

Centripetal force wants to move something towards the centre. So in a satellites case that would be the Gravity of the Earth. If you had a rock tied to a string you were spinning around, the Centripetal Force would be the tension in the string acting towards the centre.

Neptune is often considered the bluest planet in our solar system due to its striking blue color. This hue is caused by the presence of methane gas in its atmosphere, which absorbs red light and reflects blue light.

earth and space science is the study of earth and its place in the universe.some earth scientist study the forces that have shaped earth throughout its long history.others study earth's oceans or its weather.space scientist study the planets and stars that exist beyond earth.

False the light year is not a unit of time it is a unit of distance true.

The first one was a pathfinder named Sojourner. The second and third were named phoenix and phoenix 2. The 4th was a rover called Opportunity which was followed by Spirit which landed in Gusev Crater that's believed to have been an ancient lake. The last one and

Yes, Pluto follows Kepler's second law, which states that a planet will sweep out equal areas in equal times as it orbits around the Sun. This means that when Pluto is closer to the Sun, it moves faster than when it is farther away.

That's the "ecliptic". It's an imaginary circular line in the sky that's inclined 23.5 degrees

to the Celestial Equator, and intersects the CE at the equinoxes. The constellations

along the line are the constellations of the Zodiac.

The years for all the planets except Mercury (88 Earth days) are all "over 200 days", the closest one to that number being Venus at 225 Earth days.

A 1.5-M star will fuse hydrogen in its core approximately 7 times longer than a 15-M star because less massive stars burn hydrogen at a slower rate due to their lower core temperatures and pressures. This means they have longer main-sequence lifetimes compared to more massive stars.

To be considered a planet, an object must orbit the sun, be spherical in shape due to its own gravity, and have cleared its orbit of other debris. This means it dominates its orbital path and is not a satellite of another celestial body.

A star of 25 solar masses is most likely going to die in a supernova explosion which will throw half or more of its mass into space, and the remaining mass will become a black hole or neutron star.

Please note that since your body is made of carbon and other heavier elements such as iron, the atoms that are YOU have already been through a supernova explosion and were expelled from a dying star long, long ago.

Capella is about 90 times larger in surface area than the sun.

Jupiter generates the most heat among the planets in our solar system. This heat is mostly due to the planet's large size and mass, which causes gravitational compression and frictional heating in its interior.

I am a digital assistant and do not belong to a physical planet.

If by "seem to move" you are referring to perspective then it is true, since the Earth rotates on an axis and revolves around the sun, if we do not know that it is the Earth that is moving, it would seem that stars move across the sky, except for the pole star Polaris, which is aligned with the north axis and remains "fixed" in its place.

Jupiter takes about 11.86 Earth years to make one complete orbit around the sun.

The two points where the moon crosses the plane of the earth's orbit are known as the 'nodes' of the moon's orbit. If the moon happens to be near one of the nodes at the time of New Moon or Full Moon, then that's exactly when either a solar or a lunar eclipse can occur (respectively).

Planets are not classified as satellites of the Sun. Satellites are objects that orbit planets, while planets orbit the Sun directly. Planets are considered celestial bodies that revolve around a star like the Sun.

Mars is often referred to as a "red desert planet" due to its barren, desolate landscape that resembles a desert on Earth. Its surface is mainly composed of reddish-brown soil, rocks, and canyons, giving it a desert-like appearance.

No, there is no vacuum between Earth and the Sun. The space between Earth and the Sun is filled with the solar wind, which consists of charged particles and electromagnetic radiation. This forms the interplanetary medium, which is not a complete vacuum but very low density compared to Earth's atmosphere.

Check out NASA's: "Planetary Fact Sheet" Web page. That's pretty good.

There are slight differences in the answers to this question, depending on the source of information that you use.

If gravity or inertia were to suddenly stop working, the Earth would no longer be held in its orbit around the Sun and would go off into space in a straight line. It would no longer have the centripetal force needed to keep it in its circular orbit. The lack of gravity would also cause everything on Earth to float away into space.

Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and (if you still consider it a planet) Pluto.

Life support is when the person body is in a really bad shape (like after a really bad car crash or overdose). They put a life support on the person life is supported by the machine- that why it is called a life support; supports life. Sometimes the person ends up relying completely on the machine and will never wake up. The doctor switch off the life support because the person life is dependant on it and they can never come off it- they will never wake up.
