Can you name 5 different categories of celestial that make up our solar system?
Five I can name are:
asteroids, planets, black holes, moons, and stars.
Which activity within your solar system takes approximately one year to complete?
The orbit of Earth around the Sun.
How many objects in the solar system have been confirmed to be currently supporting life?
There are two objects in the solar system which currently support life, those being the planet Earth and the international space station.
The Oort Cloud of comets.
What does the wave mechanical model do that the solar system model failed to do?
Niels Bohr's "solar system" model of the atom was an attempt to explain
the spectrum of the hydrogen atom. The model had a negative electron orbiting a positive proton, but the electron was only allowed to occupy particular energy
levels.
The model worked well, but lacked any theoretical basis. The wave mechanical
model gave a reason for the restricted energy levels in terms of the wave
properties of electrons. This developed into "quantum mechanics" which is
probably the most important theory in modern physics.
Why does the sun gives us sunlight but not the solar system?
What makes you think the Sun doesn't give light to the Solar System?
The amount of light received at a given point, however, is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.
So if you were to go to Mars (which is farther from the Sun than we are) the Sun would be about a third as bright as it is from Earth.
If you were to go even farther - say to alpha Centauri, about 4 lightyears away - the Sun would appear as a normal night-time star. Quite bright, but just a point of light.
If you went to the standard distance used by astronomers (10 parsecs or about 33 lightyears) the Sun would be even fainter, about magnitude 5.
What would happen if there was no solar system?
if there were no solar system then there would be no life?
The Geocentric model
The model doesn't just say the orbits are elliptical, it gives more details. Following Kepler's three laws it can be said that the average speed is inversely proportional to the square root of the major axis.
How does gravity affect the other planets in the solar system?
"Gravity" is responsible for the existence of planetary orbits, and for their shapes
and periods. It's also the reason for the spherical shapes of the planets, and for
the existence of atmospheres, in the case of those planets that have any.
Who published the theory that the sun was the center of the solar system?
The heliocentric theory was first published by Copernicus.
What role does the stars play in your solar system?
The star plays some important roles, it's unique gravitational signature defines/specifies objects which makes up its orbital richness.
It provides majority of fundamental energies (electromagnetism radiation, thermal, kinetic and gravity).
It dominantly influences the dynamic transform and transfer of energy of the solar system, complex and diverse process.
Why has the heliocentric model been replaced with the geocentric model?
The heliocentric model is the one that replaces the geocentric model because the heliocentric model better described the solar system.
What are Jupiters daughters in the Solar System?
Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. Are the main moons of Jupiter, that are called Jupiter's daughters.
What size solar system is needed to run a chest freezer?
If you are referring to solar-electric power, there are no specific power requirements for a chest freezer. The problem is that most solar-electric systems are designed to be connected to the normal power grid. If you have a power failure, your solar power system will automatically shut down.
This is to protect electric utility workers from being shocked and injured by solar power systems providing power to a neighborhood that has been disconnected from the normal grid. In order to use your solar system even when the grid is down, you'll need a device that will isolate your solar system from the grid when the grid power is down.
THEN we can talk about how much solar power you'll need to power your freezer. Remember that when the Sun goes down, you'll lose your solar power; if you intend that the freezer should continue to work at night or bad weather, you'll need either a backup generator or a whopping huge stack of batteries.
Will you want power for anything else? Lights? Refrigerator? Furnace? Add it all up and then double it, so that there will be enough power tomorrow to not only run the system but also recharge the batteries.
How did Galileos observation of Jupiter and venus support Copernicus' model?
Galileo's discoveries with the telescope sowed doubts about the ancient Ptolemaic model which had the Earth at the centre. First, Jupiter's moons orbited round Jupiter and not the Earth, the first objects that had been discovered that were not orbiting the Earth. Secondly the discovery of the phases of Venus raised doubt about the Ptolemaic model, particularly the gibbous phase when, we now know, Venus is round behind the Sun as seen from Earth. In the Ptolemaic model Venus never goes behind
the Sun (as seen from Earth) and the gibbous phase cannot happen.
By implying in the title of his book 'Dialogue of the two world systems' that there were only two models in contention, those of Ptolemy and Copernicus, Galielo insinuated that if the Ptolemaic model was incorrect the Copernican system must be correct. This was logically flawed because at the time there were two other systems in the public domain that both explained Venus's phases. These were the models of Tycho, which was geocentric, and finally Kepler's which was heliocentric.
Of these four, Kepler's was eventually accepted by everyone after Newton's theoretical discoveries showed that Kepler's elliptical orbits for the planets agreed with the new theory of dynamics.

What are the hypothesis of the solar system?
Just after the Big Bang all the matter that was created was dust and gas. This dust and gas started to create some little groups. (The reason why they started to group up is as followed: when two atoms meet each other, one of them may wrest an electron, which is not necessary, out of the other one. Let's call this atom 'Atom A'. When the atom with a spare electron (Atom B) touches another one, which has a lack on electrons, spare electron 'jumps off' from Atom A to Atom B. Nonetheless, Atom A still attracts this electron. What happens is that these two atoms just share it and so attract each other. You can see the same situation when using a glue stick.) Then these groups start to grow, and when they reach the size, where the gravity is strong enough to attract some smaller groups, they make these groups orbit them and so create a friction on themselves. The friction creates energy and rises the temperature. Through time the smaller groups finally join the bigger ones. In a couple of billions of years, one of the big groups reaches the size of the Sun. When this happens, it creates such a huge gravitational pull that it even makes another big groups of dust and gas orbit it. But because these groups are far enough, they do not create a friction. They continuously orbit the biggest group of dust and gas. We are used to call these groups 'planets' - they are bigger than an asteroid, but smaller than a star.
But they were completely different that time. There were about twenty of them. Ones were bigger, other ones were smaller. But the ones that were bigger attracted the smaller planets, which then joined together. And so on till there were only 8 planets left.
Another answer: The above answer is not completely accurate. For example
there may have been weak "van der Waals" forces involved in clumping matter together, but not the sort of chemical bonds described.
The hypothesis is called the "nebular hypothesis" because the solar system is believed to have formed from a "nebula" of gas and dust.
See the "related link" below for a more accurate statement of this hypothesis.
The link also gives details of the later evolution of the solar system.
What are procedures of a solar system project?
There are a few steps of a solar system project. You first have to study the solar system.
How far is Saturn away from earth in AU and km?
Saturn is 1.2 billion km (about 7 AU) from the Earth when the two planets are at their closest.
What is the size of Jupiter compered to earth in diameters?
The size of Jupiter is about 11 Earth diameters, but that is the size of the visible part that is actually the top of a possibly very thick layer of clouds.
