The Solar System

Uranus is the seventh major planet from the sun. If you count dwarf planets, Uranus is the eighth. If you count dwarf planets and protoplanets, Uranus is the tenth. It is the first of the two ice giants, cold gas giants, in our system, or the third gas giant, depending on how rigidly you classify the solar system.

first of all its in OUR solar system because its not owned my someone in particular. there is NO purpose for a comet... its just interesting and beautiful to us. it does not harm of do anything to us. its just... there!

System theory of administration is an approach that views organizations as complex systems with interrelated and interdependent parts. It focuses on how these parts interact and work together to achieve the organization's objectives. This theory emphasizes the importance of feedback, communication, and adaptation to effectively manage and improve the functioning of the organization.

It is the second planet from the sun.

Indigenous Australians had various beliefs about the solar system, which varied among different Aboriginal groups. Some believed that the stars and planets were ancestors or spirits guiding their lives and creation stories. They used the positions of stars and celestial bodies for navigation, storytelling, and cultural practices.

Most of the asteroids within our solar system can be found within the Asteroid Belt. Located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, the Asteroid Belt consists of millions of individual asteroids of varying sizes - from a speck of dust to hundreds of kilometers in diameter. The largest object within the belt is a dwarf planet - Ceres - which has a mass of 9.47x1020kg and a diameter of 476.2km.

Yes, there are other planets beyond our solar system. These planets are known as exoplanets and have been discovered orbiting other stars in our galaxy. Thousands of exoplanets have been identified so far using various methods like the transit method and radial velocity method.

Bus Hale-Bopp is a group of icy bodies located beyond the orbit of Neptune in the Kuiper Belt. Whipple is a crater on the dwarf planet Pluto. Both are important features in our solar system, contributing to our understanding of the outer regions and celestial bodies within it.

Ptolemy's model of the Solar system accounted for retrograde motion by using a system of epicycles and deferents. The epicycles were smaller circles within larger deferents that allowed for the planets to move backwards temporarily. This complex system of circular motions aligned with the observations but was eventually found to be inaccurate.

Not sure how to find a place where natural conditions are: below the critical temperature or above critical pressure:

Critical temperature (Tc) = 33.145 K = -340 oC

Critical pressure (Pc) = 12.794 atm

There is a nice article at wikipedia.org (link), and you can alsogo to JPL or NASA website. They have taken the best images of these objects. But here is some info: Orbiting the Sun there are nine known (but there may be more) major planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are relatively small and rocky, followed by Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune which are much larger and gaseous. Tagged onto the end is the tiny frozen semi-planetary world Pluto. They're all quite a varied bunch as we shall see. There are lots of ways to remember them, but the saying I always hear is, My Very Easy Method Just Speeds Up Naming Planets, where the first letters of each word are are the first letters of each planet. However I've also heard, 'My Very Elderly Mother Just Sips Unrefined Nettle Pulp'! Charming. Use whatever work for you. MERCURY - is the closest planet to the Sun and so is also the fastest moving (that gravity!), orbiting our star four times faster than the Earth. Because it is so close to the Sun the intense heat doesn't allow any atmosphere to exist, so the daytime temperatures can reach 400°C whilst at night the thermometer plunges to -170°C. Diameter: 4,878 kilometres Distance from the Sun: 57.9 million kilometres Orbits the Sun in (one Mercurian year): 88 days Rotates in (one day): 58 days 15 hours 30 minutes Rank: 2nd smallest planet - 8th in size Looks: Like the Moon - lots of craters OBSERVING MERCURY: Mercury is quite a small planet and the word 'elusive' is often used in terms of trying to find it. This is because it stays close to the Sun and so it never appears far above the horizon. Even some astronomers have not seen Mercury!, but if you know where and exactly when to look, Mercury can be fairly easily found. A small telescope will show the phases, but not any details on Mercury's scorching surface. Due to it's tilted orbit the best times to see Mercury are the evening skies of spring or the morning skies during autumn. VENUS - orbits the Sun in a shorter time than it rotates, meaning one Venusian day is longer than it's year! It also comes closer to the Earth than any other planet at 40¼ million kilometres, or just 100 times further than our Moon. Diameter: 12,104 kilometres Distance from the Sun: 108.2 million kilometres Orbits the Sun in (one Venusian year): 224.7 days Rotates in (one day): 243 days 0 hours 30 minutes Rank: 6th in size Looks: It's a Cloudy Day (everyday) OBSERVING VENUS: Venus is the brightest object in the sky after the Sun and Moon. Sometimes this means it can even be seen in full daylight while at night it can cast shadows. The surface is permanently covered in cloud so there's very little for your telescope to have a look at, although you can see the phases (just like the Moon) and maybe the odd wispy markings of the changing atmosphere. EARTH - Our planet orbits at a distance from the Sun that would take you 2,123 years to walk or 193 years if you were driving at 55 mph. We have one natural satellite, the Moon, which is very slowly spiralling away from us at a rate of 1½ kilometres (approx. 1 mile) every 28,000 years. This means that it will appear smaller in the future to the point where total solar eclipses will no longer occur as the Moon will not be large enough to cover the Sun's disk. A sad day indeed. 78 per cent of our atmosphere is the gas nitrogen, with oxygen making up 21 per cent. Diameter: 12,756 kilometres Distance from the Sun: 149.6 million kilometres Orbits the Sun in (one Earth year): 365.25 days Rotates in (one day): 23 hours 56 minutes 4 seconds Rank: 5th in size Looks: like rain again! Seventy per cent covered in water OBSERVING EARTH: Look up, look down, look all around, and wonder. MARS - has been an endless source of fascination due to its striking red colour, astronomers drawings of canals on the surface, HG Wells' War of the Worlds, and more recently the search for the 'lost' oceans of Mars. Some years ago there was a the much reported meteorite find in Antarctica which came from Mars carrying fossilised bacteria. Many reports since then, however, have cast doubt on so called 'evidence' of Martian life. All in all we're not having much luck with either water or life on the Red Planet - time will possible reveal the true Martian story. Mars has a thin atmosphere with winds that pick up the red rusty Martian dust carrying it like sand storms across the planet. On January 4th 2004 NASA's Mars Rover 'Spirit' continued an Earth invasion of the red planet that successfully started with the Viking landers back in 1976. 'Spirit' and its twin 'Opportunity' (landing at the end of January 2004) are looking for evidence of water and collecting data for future manned missions. We will be going to Mars. Diameter: 6,787 kilometres Distance from the Sun: 227.9 million kilometres Orbits the Sun in (one Earth year): 686.9 days Rotates in (one day): 24 hours 37 minutes 23 seconds Rank: 7th in size Looks: Red OBSERVING MARS: Mars can approach the Earth as close as 56 million km or as far away as 400 million km. When closest it is a fine sight in a small telescope, you may see one of the polar caps and dark markings across the planet. During these closer times Mars can also become the second brightest planet in the sky (after Venus). Telescopes gazed at Mars during the summer of 2003 because the planet had not been so close to us for almost 60,000 years! The ASTEROIDS - Between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter are a collection of rocks known collectively as the Minor Planets or the Main Asteroid Belt. One theory about their origins is that a planet was unable to form in the area because of the huge gravitational influence of nearby Jupiter. This left the orbit strewn with these lumps of rock. Ceres is the largest, measuring 940 km (584 miles) in diameter, and was also the first to be discovered in 1801. Then came Pallas, Juno and the brightest asteroid, Vesta. Several of these minor planets have quite down to Earth names including Hilda, Albert and Thora. Some are even named after rock stars, such as Enya, (Eric) Clapton and (Frank) Zappa. OBSERVING ASTEROIDS: A few of these tiny worlds are quite easy to see with binoculars as tiny points of light. Over a few nights their movements are obvious against the background of fixed stars. There's even one that you can see with the unaided eye, that bright rock Vesta, mentioned above. JUPITER - is the largest planet in the solar system and the best to observe; you can see the cloud belts which are blown by huge winds caused by the very fast 10 hour rotation of the planet. Jupiter also has the famous Great Red Spot, a storm that has raged for over 300 years. It is so big you could fit two Earths inside it. Diameter: 142,800 kilometres Distance from the Sun: 778.3 million kilometres Orbits the Sun in (one Earth year): 11.86 years Rotates in (one day): 9 hours 50 minutes 30 seconds Rank: The Big One! Looks: Gassy OBSERVING JUPITER: You'll need a telescope to see details in the atmosphere including the Great Red Spot, but simple binoculars will show up to 4 tiny dots that are the main Jovian moons. These were seen by Galileo in 1610, and so are known as the Galilean satellites. In order of distance, starting with the closest, they are Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. As these moons orbit Jupiter quite fast you can watch them change position over the course of just a few hours. SATURN - is the second largest planet and famed for its rings. It happens to be extremely light due to its gaseous make-up and if you could find a large enough bath, and a good supply of water, you would find that Saturn would float! The rings themselves are made up of particles of icy rock from as small as a grain of sand up to the size of a house, each individually orbiting like tiny moons. Diameter: 120,000 kilometres Distance from the Sun: 1,427 million kilometres Orbits the Sun in (one Earth year): 29.46 years Rotates in (one day): 10 hours 14 minutes Rank: Numero Dos Looks: Probably the best of the bunch OBSERVING SATURN: A small telescope will reveal the rings, binoculars are just not powerful enough to get that great view. In fact, many astronomers believe Saturn to be the best thing to see through a telescope. You have been told. URANUS - was the first planet to be discovered by using a telescope (though loads of people saw it beforehand, nobody realised what it was). Therefore the honour goes to William Herschel on 13th March 1781. He originally named this new world 'Georgium Sidus' in honour of King George III, but Uranus was eventually adopted due it being more classical. The most unusual aspect of this planet is that its axis is tilted so much that Uranus appears to spin on its side, similar to the way a ball rolls along the ground. Diameter: 51,118 kilometres Distance from the Sun: 2,871 million kilometres Orbits the Sun in (one Earth year): 84.01 years Rotates in (one day): 17 hours 55 minutes Rank: Third Looks: Like a greenish uzzy wuzzy fuzzy blob OBSERVING URANUS: is just visible to the unaided eye in dark clear skies. Good binoculars, however, or a small telescope will show it as a small greenish-blue disk. NEPTUNE - is the last and smallest of the four gas-ball giants. Nevertheless, it's still 54 times bigger than the Earth. It's vast distance from the Sun means Neptune is quite faint. So it shouldn't comke as any surprise to learn that this cold and dark world was not identified until 1846, although Galileo may have seen it in 1612. At times it can be the furthest main planet due to the unusual orbit of the dark and cold world, Pluto. Diameter: 49,528 kilometres Distance from the Sun: 4,497 million kilometres Orbits the Sun in (one Earth year): 164.79 years Rotates in (one day): 19 hours 10 minutes Rank: Four Looks: Sad and Blue OBSERVING NEPTUNE: Due to the large distance from the Sun this is quite a faint planet only visible with a telescope. PLUTO - was named after the god of the underworld because of its tremendous distance from the Sun. This is the smallest of all the planets, smaller than our Moon in fact, and together with its remoteness was why it wasn't discovered until 1930. Pluto takes 248½ years to go round the Sun in a highly eccentric orbit which brings it inside the orbit of Neptune for 20 years of its circuit (the most recent was 1979 to 1999). Diameter: 2,320 kilometres Distance from the Sun: 5,914 million kilometres Orbits the Sun in (one Earth year): 248.54 years Rotates in (one day): 6.387 days Rank: Tiniest Looks: like a dog OBSERVING PLUTO: Pluto is so faint that only larger telescopes will be able to find it. PLANET X - In October 1999 it was announced a large object may well have been located (not visually) in the depths of the solar system due its gravitation effects on comets. Calculations show the planet, if that is what it is, must be larger than Jupiter, sitting in the frozen depths around 35,000 times further away from the Sun than the Earth. At this distance a year on Planet X would last nearly 6 million years; this being the length of time it takes to orbit the Sun once.

No satellite has left our solar system. The farthest human-made object from Earth is the Voyager 1 spacecraft, which has entered interstellar space but is still within the boundary of our solar system.

The planet Uranus is known to change color. Its cyan color is due to the presence of methane gas in its atmosphere. As the planet orbits the sun, different concentrations of methane cause it to appear to change color from greenish-blue to a more turquoise hue.

The light in our solar system primarily comes from the Sun, which emits energy through nuclear fusion in its core. Other sources of light in the solar system include reflection from planetary surfaces and moons, as well as atmospheric phenomena like auroras.

No object. You would have to be in between the Sun and Mercury in order to see it at midnight, and no such object exists.

Nicolaus Copernicus is the Polish astronomer who proposed the heliocentric model of the solar system, in which the Sun, rather than the Earth, is at the center. His work revolutionized our understanding of the cosmos and laid the foundation for modern astronomy.

Yes, Nicolaus Copernicus proposed the heliocentric model of the solar system, which placed the Sun at the center with the planets orbiting around it. This model challenged the geocentric view of the universe and laid the foundation for our modern understanding of the solar system.

Olympus Mons on Mars is the Solar System's highest volcano, reaching a height of about 13.6 miles (22 kilometers). It is nearly three times taller than Mount Everest, making it the tallest volcano and the second tallest planetary mountain in the Solar System.

Classroom solar system models are often incorrect because they typically depict the planets and their distances to scale. Given the vast size of our solar system, creating a model that accurately shows both the sizes of the planets and their distances from the Sun is not feasible on a manageable scale. As a result, these models sacrifice accuracy for practicality in order to fit within the confines of a classroom.
