The Solar System

The two belts are the asteroid belt and the Kuiper belt. The asteroid belt is located between Mars and Jupiter, populated with rocky objects. The Kuiper belt is farther out, beyond Neptune, and is home to many icy bodies and dwarf planets.

A very small percentage. The total mass of the four inner planets is around 0.00059% of the total mass of the solar system. This is around 6 millionths.

The sun makes up around 99.85% of the total solar system mass, while the gas giant planets make up most of the remaining mass.

Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system, with surface temperatures reaching up to 900 degrees Fahrenheit (475 degrees Celsius) due to its thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid clouds that trap heat.

Mercury is too close to the Sun, experiencing extreme temperatures. Venus has a thick toxic atmosphere with a runaway greenhouse effect. Jupiter and Saturn are gas giants without a solid surface. Uranus and Neptune are ice giants with harsh conditions.

The Earth represents about 0.0003% of the mass of the entire solar system.

Planets found outside our own solar system are called exo-solar planets or exoplanets. These are in orbit around other stars. It's ver difficult to detect them due to the distances involved, but with modern techniques, over 500 have been confirmed.

The commonality shared by Jupiter, Neptune, and Saturn is that they are all gas giants in our solar system, composed mostly of hydrogen and helium. They also have rings around them and multiple moons.

Halley's Comet was last seen in our solar system in 1986. It appears approximately every 75-76 years, so the next predicted sighting is around 2061.

Scientists can gather better evidence about how the solar system was formed through continued space exploration missions to study other planetary systems, analyzing meteorites from the early solar system, improving models of planetary formation and evolution, and utilizing advanced telescopes and instruments to study distant objects and phenomena. By combining data from different sources and improving our understanding of the processes involved, scientists can refine their theories about the formation of the solar system.

The universe? You need to clarify...

Our little corner (solar system), the sun light is obvious; seeing how amazing a star filled sky looks is also obvious. Also, depression from lack of sunlight or excessive heat during summer are other ones. However, other celestial bodies? Most likely not, for any celestial body to affect you, another would alter or counter effect....

Earth is the largest terrestrial (all rock) planet in the solar system (check the Answers.com question "How BIG is Venus to earth?" The gas giant planets (like Jupiter, Uranus, and Saturn) do have a rocky surface below the vapor cloud that surrounds them. Jupiter would have the largest rocky surface if all the gas burned away.

Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system. It is over 11 times the diameter of Earth and is known for its massive size and powerful magnetic field.

The Sun is the only luminous body in our solar system. It emits light and heat through nuclear fusion at its core. All other objects in the solar system, such as planets, moons, and asteroids, reflect light from the Sun but do not generate their own light.

Venus, Earth and Pluto.

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.
