The Solar System

Due to the vast distance between the earth and polaris, the earths axis of rotation essentially lines up with polaris at all times, so when the stars are visible, and viewed from the north pole, the earths rotation causes the stars to appear to rotate around polaris.

It is because black colour is a good absorber of heat

No. It is a planet in another solar system about 500 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cygnus.

The surface temperature and pressure is too high.

Answer this question...mars

It didn't. The universe formed with the Big Bang about 13.7 billion years ago. Our solar system didn't form until about 4.6 billion years ago.

No; closer to two times.

They think Uranos is tilted by 98 degrees, meaning its axis is almost horizontal, compared to its plane of rotation. During part of its orbit around the Sun, the north pole (or the south pole, during another part of its orbit) points almost directly to the Sun.

Our solar system is located near the outer edge of the Milky Way.

The presence of life - in particular plants that are powered by photosynthesis - has lead to a significant amount of free oxygen into the atmosphere. On other known planets, most of the oxygen is tied up in solid oxides or carbon dioxide rather than as oxygen gas.

No, I would not.

Jupiter is both the most massive and the largest of those objects.

I'm no expert but id guess that earth (being a larger target) has been hit more then mercury. (here is where the guessing ends) but mercury is devoid of water Ware as earth has lots. their was once a time where earth was covered with impact craters. but over rain eroded them away. mercury has no rain so the craters will stay their for millions of years

The basic unit of distance within the solar system is the astronomical unit (AU), which is defined as the average distance between the Earth and the Sun, approximately 93 million miles (150 million kilometers).

what is the independent variable for the solar system

Because it only takes 8 minutes for sunlight to reach Earth, but it takes 4 hours to reach Neptune.

Copernicus proposed a new model of the planets as they move among the stars, and it was published in 1543, the year he died.

The model was similar to Ptolemy's model that had been used for 1400 years, in that it used circles and epicycles. The difference was that the new theory had the Sun at the centre instead of the Earth.

Copernicus said it was a simpler model, and it was in a sense. It had just as many or even more epicycles to allow for the eccentricity of the planets' orbits and their inclination to the ecliptic (as now understood), but the epicycles were reduced in size, in some cases by a lot.

In the Ptolemaic model each planet had its major epicycle approximately equal to the size of the Earth's orbit (as we know know), while Copernicus's model used much smaller epicycles.

However both models were rejected when Kepler came up with his idea that the orbits are ellipses, and, later, Newton's discoveries showed why they have to be ellipses. So the earlier models were consigned to the history books - except for the idea of having the Sun at the centre.

Moons are larger, obviously.

Saturn.

yes cause you need the sun in order for the solar system to work

The one and ONLY star in our solar system is the Sun, which is about 93 million miles away from the Earth.

The next closest star is the red dwarf Proxima Centauri, at a distance of about 4.2 light-years. That's clearly not even close to being in our solar system.

The atom and the solar system are not equal. The solar system contains the sun and the other planets.

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus,and Neptune.

spin; turn around an imaginary axis of rotation, like the one that includes Earth's geographical north and south poles
