The Solar System

Jupiter and the sun are both composed mostly of hydrogen and helium, and both emit their own light and radiation. However, Jupiter is a gas giant planet, while the sun is a star. Jupiter does not have enough mass to sustain nuclear fusion in its core like the sun does.

The majority of the mass in the solar system is concentrated in the sun, accounting for about 99.86% of the total mass. The planets, including Earth, make up only a small fraction of the solar system's mass.

The Outer planets are often referred to as Gaseous planets. The others are the "inner planets" or rocky planets.

First and foremost is the sun. About it are arrayed eight planetary objects, their moons, numerous dwarf planets, an asteroid belt, a Kuiper Belt (largely comprised of icy cometary transneptunian objects), and beyond that an Oort Cloud, or shell of icy cometary debris. Short period comets hail from the Kuiper Belt, while long period comets may come in from any trajectory and originate in the vasty deep--very far from our sun.

In the early 16th Century, Nicolaus Copernicus theorised that the Sun was in fact the centre of our solar system - not the Earth, as was previously thought. The Greek Aristarchus of Samos, 1,800 years before Copernicus, was the true founder of heliocentrism.

Neil Armstrong is best known for being the first person to walk on the moon in 1969 as part of the Apollo 11 mission. While his accomplishment didn't contribute directly to understanding the solar system, it did spark interest in space exploration, leading to further missions and discoveries about the solar system. Armstrong's iconic moon walk also demonstrated the potential for human exploration beyond Earth.

The remaining colors of light that are not absorbed by trees are typically reflected or scattered. This is why we perceive leaves as green, as they reflect green light. This process also helps in photosynthesis as certain wavelengths of light are absorbed by the chlorophyll in the leaves.

The four moons of saturn were discovered by different people at different times and not by any single individual. The first moon is Titan, which was discovered by Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens on March 25, 1655. The secondmoon was named Dione, which was discovered by Italian/French astrologer Giovanni Cassini in 1684. The third moon is called Prometheus, which was named after a powerful deity in Greek mythology. Stewart A. Collins discovered it sometime in October 1980. The fourth moon is named Telesto, which was named again after a Greek mythological character. On April 8, 1980, astronomers named John W. Fountain, Stephen M. Larson, Harold J. Reitsema and Bradford A. Smith discovered this moon.

Planets in our solar system have a wide range of sizes, but generally speaking, a celestial body must meet certain criteria to be considered a planet. This includes being in orbit around the Sun, having enough mass for its gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a nearly round shape, and having cleared its orbit of other debris.

The largest planet in the solar system is Jupiter.

Canis Majoris is a constellation.

VY Canis Majoris, the largest known star would fill the Solar System to the orbit of Saturn but would NOT fill the Solar System.

Earth is unique in the solar system because it is the only known planet that has liquid water on its surface, which is essential for life as we know it. Additionally, Earth has a atmosphere that contains the right combination of gases to support life and moderate its temperature.

Because it is a large measurement to measure a large distance (there would be immense amoughts of zeros behind a measurement like that given in miles, yet a lightyear is much too large). It is simply the right unit to measure distances that large.

Epimtheus it is a very smallest satellite in solar system

Ganymede, one of Jupiter's moons, is the largest moon in the solar system. Third in size is Saturn's moon Titan.

To create a replica of the solar system, you will need various-sized balls (representing planets), string or wire (to hang the planets in order), paint or markers (to color the planets), a larger ball for the sun, and a base to hang the planets from. You can also add optional materials like foam balls for moons or styrofoam for asteroid belts.

Other way around - the Solar System is a part of space.

Out of an accretion disc. A disc of materials left over from the formation of a star (in this case our sun) orbiting. Small particles bump into each other and stick. Slowly over time it isn't the rigidness of the particles in that environment which causes them to stick, but at a certain size it will begin to bend space and time to where the larger chunks have significant gravity so other particles are drawn towards them. As the bigger pieces collide over time they also begin to hold together until they have what is known as hydrostatic equilibrium. This is where the object has enough gravity to hold a roughly spherical shape. Thus a planet is born. Gas planets are slightly different only in the respect that solid portions are not as visible; they fall towards the center.

The scientist who first suggested that Earth and other planets in the solar system revolve around the sun was Nicolaus Copernicus, in his work "De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium" (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres) published in 1543.

There is a constellation called "Ursa (not "Ursula") Minor" - the little bear, or "little dipper". The tip of the "little bear's" tail is Polaris, the North Star. The rest of the stars in the Little Dipper are very faint.

a planets year is determined by how long it takes the planet to circle its sun. As a general rule the farther the planet is from its sun the longer its year will be.

Gas planets are those planets which are not made up of rocks or materials. They are composed of gases only. Eg- Jupiter

Mercury, Venus, Terra (Earth), and Mars. Yes, there are 4 inner planets. These are called the "Terran" planets.

There are several planets in the solar system that have yet to be explored extensively, including Uranus and Neptune. However, all the planets have been visited by spacecraft, with flybys and some dedicated missions to study them. Currently, there are no plans for new missions to these planets, but their moons remain interesting targets for future exploration.

Modern judicial systems are characterized by the separation of powers among the executive, legislative, and judicial branches, ensuring independence and checks and balances. They also prioritize due process, equality before the law, and transparency. In contrast, pre-modern systems often relied on hierarchical or feudal structures, with justice administered by monarchs or nobility, and limited legal protections for the accused.
