The Solar System

No, It doesn't. The way we see it can change though. As light passes through the atmosphere, it can be bent by the water molecules in the air and make the light from the moon appear yellow, red, orange or blue.

Astronomers say they have discovered what appears to be an entirely new kind of planet, an extra-large gas giant unlike any known world in our solar system or beyond. "This questions our understanding of how giant planets are formed and evolve," said Robert Noyes, a senior physicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA). The planet, dubbed HAT-P-1, is located some 450 light-years from Earth in the constellation Lacerta. It is the largest planet ever discovered and boasts a radius nearly 1.4 times larger than Jupiter's. HAT-P-1 is also the least dense of all known planets. "This planet is about one quarter the density of water," said Gaspar Bakos, a Hubble fellow at CfA. "In other words, it's lighter than a giant ball of cork. Just like Saturn, it would float in a bathtub if you could find a tub big enough to hold it, but it would float almost three times higher." Unlike more familiar gas giants, including those in our solar system, HAT-P-1 does not appear to have a solid core. The planet's large size and low density can't be explained by current theories of giant planet formation. Scientists suggest that additional heat in its interior could account for its "puffed-up" size, but as yet they can't explain how such heat could be generated.

Solar eclipse

If the Earths core stopped rotating, we will either freeze to death if we're away from the sun, or we'll boil to death if we're towards the sun.There will be no night or no day.

Saturn's diameter at its equator is about 74,900 miles(120,540 kilometers).

The earth's axis is not exactly parallel with the axis of it's solar orbit. The earth tilts slightly. And that tilt is not constant, it varies between 22.1 and 24.5 degrees. For part of the year, the northern hemisphere tilts toward the sun, making the days longer in the north. This equates to the summer season in the northern hemisphere. At that same time, the southern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun. This is the winter season for the southern hemisphere. When the northern axis tilts away from the sun, the nights are significantly longer than the days. The day in which the tilt is closest to the sun is called the summer solstice for that hemisphere. The same day will be winter solstice for the other hemisphere. Midway between the two annual solstices are the equinoxes. An equinox is when the tilt is not pointed towards or away from the sun.

its the only planet that has an atmosphere strong enough to hold air

Yes, water ice has been detected in the atmosphere of Saturn.

I think I know what you are driving at, but your question needs some clearing up. When one thing "affects" something else, it usually means that the two things are independent, or if they are not completely independent, they are not completely overlapping.

For example, temperature affects the number of mosquitos and other insects that will hatch out in the spring. If we have a very very warm winter, the normal process that would kill off some of the eggs doesn't happen. As a result, more insects. Temperature and the number of mosquitos are pretty much independent realities, but one affects the other. Poor nutrition among children will affect the number of illnesses that the children will contract. Same idea.

The moon phases don't really have any kind of causal affect on eclipses similar to the affects mentioned above. In fact, moon phases don't really exist as concrete, physical things. They are just names we give to the appearance of the moon depending on what part of it we can see. If you were living in a colony on the moon, you wouldn't be particularly interested in moon phases as observed from earth. You'd be more interested in the moon "day", which would last about 29.5 earth days.

What happens is that the moon's phases are connected to lunar and solar eclipses. The phases don't cause or affect eclipses, and eclipses don't cause or affect phases. Phases and eclipses are all part of the same process of earth orbiting the sun, and moon orbiting the earth. If it is near the full moon, you will NEVER observe a solar eclipse. Clearly, the full moon happens when the earth is very nearly between the sun and the moon. That's why we can look up and see the fully (or nearly so) lit moon in the sky. However, full moon is often "Lunar Eclipse Season". If a lunar eclipse is going to happen, it must happen during a full moon. Again, one is not causing the other.

If it is near "new moon", that is, the moon's face is completely or nearly completely unlit by the sun, you will NEVER observe a lunar eclipse. New Moon happens when the moon is between the sun and the earth, and the three are lined up as closely as they are going to get. New moon is often "Solar Eclipse Season". If a solar eclipse is going to happen, it must happen at new moon. Again, one is not causing the other.

The major eight planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The gas-giant planets have some moons as large as Mercury and the dwarf planets. Pluto was once considered a planet, but in 2006, it was re-classified as a dwarf planet, along with the asteroid Ceres and three distant Pluto-like planets : Eris, Makemake, and Haumea. Other candidates for the status are Sedna, Quaoar, Orcus, and Varuna : Sedna - The discovery of Sedna was not entirely unexpected, in that new technology is helping astronomers to look deeper into the void beyond Pluto to search out dark objects, some of them clearly sizable. If Sedna turns out to be as large as Pluto, which is still possible, then it would properly be called a dwarf planet. Pluto itself may be simply a large, spherical asteroid, accompanied by its relatively large 'moon' Charon. At the moment, Sedna is thought to be smaller than Pluto, but bigger than Quaoar, so it is by no means certain what will be decided for it in time. Sedna is currently at its closest approach to the Sun, or 'perihelion'. Its orbit is elliptical, but falls well within the boundary of the inner Oort Cloud at its most distant point. So it behaves somewhat like a planetary comet. This finding might cause astronomers to rethink the position and composition of the comet-cloud. Quaoar , Orcus, and Varuna - "50000 Quaoar" and "90482 Orcus"" also seem to have moons and all three have orbits that bring them closer to the Sun than the farthest points of Pluto's orbit. Orcus is sometimes referred to as the "anti-Pluto" because orbital resonance with Neptune keeps it on the opposite side of the Sun from Pluto. "20000 Varuna" seems to be the smallest of the current dwarf candidates. Ceres is the smallest dwarf planet. Ceres and the other asteroids of the Main Belt are much smaller than the larger planetary moons. When first discovered in 1801 Ceres was classified as a planet, but was later re-categorized as an asteroid until the category of Dwarf Planet was created in 2006.

It was first used by a random dude that invented it and now we use it, and we made it better, and blah blah blah.

Saturn is considered one of the gas giants because it consists primarily of a gaseous atmosphere, with a small solid core. The other gas giants are Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune.

As carbon dioxide built up in Venus' atmosphere, more thermal radiation was trapped. The increasing heat released more CO2 into the atmosphere which trapped even more thermal radiation.

The geocentric. The two systems were the geocentric and heliocentric, the former with the earth at the solar system's center, and the latter with the sun. Because Copernicus championed the latter, it is often called the Copernican model.

There are the four inner, rocky planets are also known as the terrestrial planets. These are; Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. Then there are the four outer gas giant planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The inner planets are smaller and have a higher average density. The outer planets are much larger, but have no real surface - just atmosphere that gets thicker as you travel inwards.

We live in a solar system because it is named after the central star which is the Sun. Latin for sun is Sol. But the galaxy we are in is the Milky Way.

hey i think its because of the solar system

Planets revolve around the Sun. The Sun does not revolve or rotate around the planets. Planetary orbits are best described as an ellipse.

Revolving is when the planet goes around the Sun. Rotating is when the planet spins on its own axis. The Earth does one revolution in 365 days but one rotation in 24 hours.

The closest galaxy that has planets is the Andromeda galaxy. It is the nearest galactic neighbor to the earth. The Milky Way has other planets too.
