The Solar System
Ever wondered if there is life on Mars? Or if Jupiter has five moons? Look no further; here is the category concerning all questions about our solar system and the known planets!
4,302 Questions
Will solar panels work during a blackout?
If the power goes out your system has an automatic safety feature to stop sending power to the grid. We install a Secure Power Supply with every system so that you can use the power that your system is generating through a dedicated outlet when the power is out but the sun is shining.
That would be Venus which rotates retrograde.
Actually, Uranus does too.
What is A possible icy cloud surrounding the solar system from which some comets originate?
The Oort cloud.
What group is the solar system in?
Solar system is in Milky Way galaxy. It is located at the centre of Milky Way.
How are solar system and stars positioned are they side to side or up and down from each other?
- The solar system and stars are positioned in three dimensional positions; both side by side and up and down. Only God; the Creator; knows their number, locations, and lifetime.
- Another viewpoint: As far as we know, there isn't really "up and down" in space. These terms only have meaning in a particular context, such as here on the surface of Earth. Our solar system is in a disk shaped Galaxy of stars.
- You could define an "above" and "below" relative to the plane of that disk. In that case there are probably more stars in our Galaxy "side to side" of us than there are in the "up and down" direction.
- Also, the solar system is disk shaped. You could define "up and down" with
respect to that disk. That disk is tilted with respect to the disk of the Galaxy.
So, that gives you another possible answer.
Finally there are billions of other galaxies.
Relative to them, our Galaxy is in the middle of the "observed universe".
Summary: It all depends on exactly what you mean and how you define
things.
- Most multiple-star systems are organized in what is called a hierarchical system: the stars in the system can be divided into two smaller groups, each of which traverses a larger orbit around the system's center of mass. Each of these smaller groups must also be hierarchical, which means that they must be divided into smaller subgroups which themselves are hierarchical, and so on. Each level of the hierarchy can be treated as a Two-body problem by considering close pairs as if they were a single star. In these systems there is little interaction between the orbits and the stars' motion will continue to approximate stable Keplerian orbits around the system's center of mass, unlike the unstable Trapezia systems or the even more complex dynamics of the large number of stars in star clusters and galaxies.
How much would you weigh on each of the eight planets of our solar system?
It depends on how much you weigh on Earth. You can use this cool calculator to enter you weight and see:

What do religious people believe about how the solar system was formed?
Others look for a literal answer from the Book of Genesis. In Genesis 1:15-18, the sun, moon, planets and stars were placed as light sources in the firmament which separated the waters above the earth from those below. This creates a problem for those who look to the Bible for a literal description of the creation of the solar system, and perhaps they find it easier not to think about the real structure and size of the solar system.
A near-perfect alignment will result either in a solar eclipse, or in a lunar eclipse.
What is bigger the galaxy universe solar system?
No, the solar system is just the same give to the system of planets which orbit the Sun. There are millions of similar systems in this galaxy and there are millions of galaxies in the universe.
Is studying the planets of the earth's solar system a part of geography?
"Geo" is latin for "Earth," so "geography" is the study of the planet Earth; specifically, a map ("graph") of the Earth. The term isn't usually applied to other planets, although the terms "lunar geography" or "Martian geography" are sometimes used to apply to those specific objects. Sometimes the word "Selenography" (from the Greek goddess Selene, the goddess of the Moon) is used to apply to maps of the Moon.
We don't yet know enough about the maps of other celestial bodies to have a science about it.
Which planet has the least amount of craters due to is protective atmosphere?
Venus has a very dense atmosphere, which helps burn up many meteors it pulls in. This lets the planet have many less craters than others. Additionally, the gas giants don't have any known craters, since they are made of mostly gas.
Is the solar system part of some larger system?
Yes, our solar system is part of the galaxy which is called The Milky Way.
What is the orgin of the name of planet Saturn?
It was named after the Roman God Saturn (Saturnus in Latin)
What is the hottest plant in our solar system?
Probably the plants that are located close to the equator.
Why isn't Jupiter its own solar system?
First of all, Jupiter is not a star. It would have to be if it and all its satellites were to be a solar system. Secondly, it itself orbits a star, our sun, so it is in a solar system.
Which figure is closest to age of the solar system?
The Solar System is about 4.5-4.6 billion years old (i.e. 4500-4600 million years old.) Because the Solar System developed gradually it's hard to be more precise than that and say exactly when it started, but solid grains first condensed out of the Solar Nebula about 4567 million years ago.
How did scientists discover the outer planets in your solar system?
First of all, it's our Solar System (unless you live in another Solar System). They were all discovered by telescopes and mathematics. Their orbits were predicted based on perturbations of other planets. This is a fascinating study and well worth pursuing if you are interested in this kind of thing.
What will your solar system look like in 8 billion years?
In 8 billion years the sun will have passed the red giant phase, consuming the inner planets in the process, and exploded in a supernova, disrupting the outer planet's orbits and leaving behind a white dwarf.
What do you call the tiny part of our galaxy in our solar system?
Where is the amplifier located for the audio system on a 2002 Lexus IS 300?
in the pass side floor board. its under the kick pannel
Why does maci bookout's car have a Saturn wheel?
She has been driving a Saturn ion these past few episodes.
Why shouldn't triple warmer 5 and pericardium 6 be stimulated at the same time?
TW 5 and CX 6 (pericardium 6) are both junction points, (Luo points or Passage points). These balance energy between related meridians (yin/yang) within the same Element (from 5 Elements Theory). If one has excess energy, and the other is deficient, you stimulate the Luo point of the DEFICIENT meridian, to draw energy to it, balancing the 2 meridians (husband/wife relationship). You only stimulate the luo point of the deficient meridian, NOT BOTH. Example, if CX (pericardium) is deficient, and TW is in excess, stimulate CX 6 (which can be achieved by simple holding 2 fingers on the point on each side). If the situation is reversed, you can stimulate TW 5, though there may be another Yin meridian to stimulate which will balance the 5 Elements, including these 2 meridians of the Fire Element.
What comes after waning crescent?
A waning crescent is followed by a New Moon. The New Moon being followed by a waxing crescent.
