What is the non example of solar system?

non-examples of solar system iz galaxies,stars,and light-year

Why do we say that the requirements model represents a snapshot of a system in time?

a) Why do we say that the requirements model represents a snapshot of a system in time?

What is Cloud Based Backup System?

Cloud based backup system is a way of keeping a backup of all your system data and files on a cloud based server but costs a high monthly subscription cost. So, if you want to secure your PC at a nominal cost, Rescue Drive Software is going to be your best bet. The best thing about a Rescue-Drive based backup is that it is highly secured and in the event of corrupt data or data loss, the system can easily be restored without any data loss and minimum downtime.

Is the sun a land mass?

NO!!!!

It is a sphere of a very hot gas. The Sun's surface temperature is thought to be ~ 6000 oC.

All known stars are spheres of very hot gas. .

They become hot , due to gravity within them, pulling the gas molecules closer and closer , until they be come hot.

The analogy, is a few people in a disco; the place is cool.

When there are a lot more people in the disco, the place becomes hotter. People go to discos because they are attracted to the opposite sex. Similarly atoms in the Sun.

What is the brightest planet in the solar system?


venus

earth

Keep in mind that planets do not emit light. Their brightness depends on the brightness of the light source illuminating them, on their distance from that light source, on their surface albedo, and on their distance from the viewer. Therefore, which planet appears brightest depends on where the viewer is in the solar system. From earth, Venus is the brightest planet both because of the relative distances and its high surface albedo (which is due to its surface being completely covered by very white cloud cover).

What is the order of the solar system?

The order of the solar system is Mercury,Venus,Earth,Mars,Jupiter,Saturn,Uranus and Neptune (maybe even Pluto)

What was the solor system like when the moon was formed?

When the moon was formed around 4.5 billion years ago, the solar system was still in its early stages of development. There were many more collisions and interactions between celestial bodies happening, leading to the formation of planets and moons. The early solar system was a chaotic place with many large objects orbiting the young sun.

Why is the sun considered to be the center of the solar system?

The Sun is considered the center of the solar system because it is the largest and most massive object, around which all other celestial bodies, including planets, moons, asteroids, and comets, revolve. This arrangement is known as the heliocentric model, first proposed by Nicolaus Copernicus in the 16th century.

What is the difference between the solar system and the bodies of the solar system?

The difference is semantic; the solar system is the collective identity of all bodies considered together as a whole, i.e., the Sun, planets, etc.; whereas the bodies would refer to each of those making up the solar system: the planet Neptune for example is "a" body in the solar system.

Explain how the planets in our solar system move in relation to the sun?

Due to the sun's gravity, the planets in our solar system revolve around the sun. This revolution around the sun determines our seasons.

What other planet has magnetic pole reversals?

Mars is known to have experienced magnetic pole reversals in its past. Unlike Earth, which has a global magnetic field generated by its liquid outer core, Mars has localized magnetic fields that suggest a history of magnetic activity. Evidence from Martian rocks indicates that these reversals occurred when the planet had a more active dynamo. However, today, Mars lacks a significant global magnetic field.

Why do we call earth an active planet?

The Earth has an active interior that keeps it in a state of perpetual change. In other words, below the solid crust on which we live, is molten or semi-molten rock (magma). Our continents are like rafts, floating on molten rock, and imperceptively constantly on the move. On the surface, erosion and depositing is constantly happening. Therefore, an active planet is one were changes is constantly going on.

Why do we only see the ''near side'' of the moon and never the far side?

The moon spins at the same speed that it orbits the earth so we always see the same side.

How far will mars be from earth if they were lined up?

Anywhere between about 54 million kilometers, and 103 million kilometers - depending at what part of the orbit they align.

Who worked out the arrangement of the known planets in our solar system and how they move around the sun?

The arrangement of the known planets in our solar system and their movements around the Sun were primarily described by Johannes Kepler in the early 17th century. He formulated three laws of planetary motion, which outlined the elliptical orbits of planets and their varying speeds. Additionally, Sir Isaac Newton later provided a theoretical framework for these movements through his law of universal gravitation, explaining how gravity governs the motion of celestial bodies.

What is the name for a star that looks it has a shining tail?

A star that appears to have a shining tail is commonly referred to as a "comet." Comets are icy celestial bodies that, when close to the Sun, develop a glowing coma and a tail made of gas and dust due to solar radiation and solar wind. This tail always points away from the Sun, creating the characteristic appearance of a comet.

What Are rocky objects orbiting the solar system that might enter earths atmosphere?

Asteroids are the rocky planet remnants orbiting the solar system in the asteroid belt. Collisions between these objects may leave debris that can enter the Earth's atmosphere and become meteorites.

Do plants shine their own light?

No planets reflect light from their host star (sun)
