The Solar System

Currently, only Earth has known living plants. However, on Mars, NASA has been experimenting with growing plants in simulated Martian soil for potential future colonization. No other planets in our solar system are known to support plant life.

Yes, Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system. It is more than 300 times the mass of Earth and is known for its massive size and distinctive red spot.

The sun is at the center of the solar system and its primary function is to provide light, heat, and energy to all the planets, including Earth. It governs the orbits of the planets through its gravitational pull and is crucial for supporting life on Earth through photosynthesis and climate regulation.

Mars has the largest volcano in the solar system. It is called Olympus Mons, or Mount Olympus. At 375 miles (600 km) across, it would cover most of England, and at 16 miles (26 km) high, it is 3 times taller than Mount Everest. In the center is a huge, sunken crater that is 26 miles (90 km) across.

For a change in orbit, a planet would have to experience an external force large enough. This would have to be a large collision with a rogue planet sized object or something like that - a highly unlikely event.

The sun is bigger than the earth because its a star and stars are usually bigger than planets...but even though the sun might seem huge... its like a grain of sand compared to other suns, or stars, out there! The earth is bigger than the moon because its a planet, the planets are also bigger than a moon because moons are just small pieces of rocks smashed together rotating a planet.... If you see a big planet and a little rock circling it then the little rock should be a moon. The theory of how a plant rotates the sun, or moon rotates a planet...is called "The General Theory of Relativity".

When a planet is closer to the Sun, its orbit around the Sun is shorter because it has a smaller distance to travel in completing one orbit. The time it takes for a planet to go around the Sun is determined by its distance and speed.

As of now, there is no definitive evidence of life on any other planet in our solar system or beyond. However, scientists are actively searching for signs of life on exoplanets within the habitable zone of their stars, where conditions may be conducive to the existence of life.

Because we can't yet actually go there.

A mathematical model or computer simulation is a poor substitute for the real thing, but for now, it will have to do. We send robot probes to Mars, to Titan, to orbit Jupiter and Saturn and Venus, and we create simulations of what things might be like there. It's better than nothing....

VV Cephei is a star system, not a planet. It is a binary star system consisting of two massive stars, one of which is a red supergiant. The system is located in the constellation Cepheus.

It is false.

The names of the days of the week recall:

-- the Sun

(but Spanish: "Domingo")

-- the Moon

-- Tiw, the Germanic god of war

(although in German: "Dienstag")

-- Wodin, Wotan, Odin, chief deity of the Germanic peoples

(although in German ... "Mitwoch", meaning "mid-week")

-- Thor, old English Unresdæg, literally "day of thunder"

(German: "Donnerstag" ... "Thunderday")

-- Old English "Frigedæg", day of the goddess "Frigg", from a prehistoric

Germanic verb "to love", also the ancestor of the English "friend" and "free".

-- Saturn's day

(Spanish: "Sabado", meaning "Sabbath")

I don't think so. It is most probably the only planet to support life forms very similar to ours, but that does not imply that some other planet(s) don't have life forms of some other nature than ours.

Advantages:

- Exposure

- Travel

- Meeting famous people, other models

Disadvantages:

- Body Image Issues

- Career does not last long

- Can be replaced with another model any moment

- Hard on emotions, self esteem

- Constant criticism

Since intensity of the radiation emanating from the sun is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from it, if you half the distance between us and the sun, the intensity would increase by a factor of 4.

put simply, the closer you get to the sun, the hotter it is.

Aetheria or Nimbus City could be good names for a city in the clouds, evoking a sense of mystique and wonder associated with such a location.

Two types of planets in our solar system are terrestrial planets, such as Earth and Mars, which are rocky and have solid surfaces, and gas giants, such as Jupiter and Saturn, which are predominantly made of gases like hydrogen and helium.

A moon orbits around a planet, while a planet orbits around a star. Moons tend to have faster and smaller orbits compared to planets, which follow larger and slower orbits around the star. Additionally, moons' orbits are influenced by the gravitational pull of their host planet, whereas planets are not typically influenced by other celestial bodies in the same way.

More complete answer: The Asteroid Belt is considered the dividing line between the Inner (rocky) Planets and the Outer Planets. Ceres has a rock surface, is in equilibrium shape in the presence of gravity (fancy way of saying it's a ball), but it does not "dominate" its orbit, so it is not considered to be a planet.

Jupiter and Saturn are Gas Giants, and while there must be some "rock" ("metal" in in the sense of something heavier than hydrogen at the atomic level) from in-falling meteors if nothing else, it amounts to pollution in their atmospheres, not solid surfaces. Current thinking is that there isn't anything that could be called a "surface" as one approaches their cores.

Uranus and Neptune are Ice Giants. They probably have rocky cores overlain by thick ice mantles, not rocky surfaces. The key word is "probably" because the data are so sparse that we're left speculating without sufficient facts. Sherlock Holmes would be quite rightly appalled by all this.

And the Plutoids (Pluto, Eris, Sedna, and their ilk in the Kuiper belt) do not "dominate" their orbits and thus, like Ceres, are not considered to be planets (darned big doorstops if you ask me). I must point out that, had the "Planet X" hypothesis that led Clyde Tombaugh to find Pluto been true (it called for a planet three times the mass of Saturn), that world would fail the current planet definition on the same basis. The Kuiper belt is just too big for any conceivable world to "dominate" its orbit.

It depends on what you mean by "alignment." There have been plenty of times that all the planets have been on more or less the same side of the Sun; there probably has never been a precise alignment (within, say, a few degrees) of all the planets simultaneously.

Usually, planets do have grounds, though it usually differs. The four inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars), are solid, or rocky. The heat from the sun solidified them. Outer planets' atmospheres (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) are full of gases, BUT, these gases surround the rocky core. So yes, Neptune does have ground, though its not as much as earth.

The solar system is believed to have formed about 5 billion years ago, and by the way, why do you call it YOUR solar system? Do you come from a different solar system? Because if not, then it's OUR solar system.

There is no newly added planet to the solar system. The last major change to the planetary lineup was the reclassification of Pluto as a dwarf planet in 2006.

Our own galaxy has between 100 and 400 billion stars; there are hundreds of billions of similar galaxies in the OBSERVABLE Universe, and it is believed that the entire Universe is much, much bigger than the observable Universe (how much bigger, is not known). It seems that at least a large percentage of those stars have planets, which means they can be called "solar systems".

Of course, its amazing, once you figure out how to deal with the gravity and whole breathing thing.

Exactly. Even though there are lakes (Larger than lake Superior) of Liquid methane on Saturn's moon of Titan, you would freeze solid on contact.

After a successful run the production of Saturn cars was stopped in 2009 after a much sought after deal between GM and Penske Automotive group fell through.
