The Solar System

Mercury has the least variation in surface temperature among the planets in our solar system. This is because it has almost no atmosphere to trap heat, leading to very hot temperatures on the sunny side and very cold temperatures on the dark side.

The sun is 30000 chocolate unicorns times larger

We know next-to-nothing about the surface of Saturn. We can guess that something at least resembling gravel exists there, because it exists on Saturn's moon Titan.

The force that governs the motion of the solar system is primarily gravity. Gravity, which is the attractive force between objects with mass, keeps the planets in orbit around the Sun and maintains the structure and dynamics of the solar system.

During a quarter moon, we see half of the moon's surface lit up by the sun. This is because the angle between the sun, Earth, and moon creates a line where we see only half of the illuminated side.

That kind of depends on where you consider the boundary of "the solar system" to be.

It's currently in the "heliosheath" and will probably reach the heliopause... which is one reasonable definition of "outside the solar system"... within the next ten years or so. Voyager 1, which is further away and moving faster, is expected to reach this boundary in about 2015, but Voyager 2 reached the heliosheath significantly closer to the Sun than Voyager 1 did... this boundary appears to be "dented" in the direction that Voyager 2 is heading.

Voyager 2 is well outside what most non-scientists think of as "the solar system" already... it's over twice as far from the Sun as Pluto is, for example.

No new planets have been found near our Sun.

The latest discovery is a planet twice the size of Jupiter called Wasp 17. It lies about 1,000 light years from us.

None of the four outer planets, they all have rotational periods shorter than 24 hours. The dwarf planet Pluto has a rotational period of 6.4 days though.

A blue star has a spectral class of O. It is one of the largest types of star on the main sequence.

As the colour is based on the surface temperature, and not on size, there is no definitive size.

However, using Alntak (See related link) - a star in the constellation Orion - as an example of a blue star, we can expect a blue star to be around 20 times as big as our Sun. (See related question)

the inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) all have rocky solid surfaces. The outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) all have gaseous atmospheres and liquid surfaces. Pluto is very dense and has a rocky surface.

No, the Earth and the Sun are not in thermal contact in the traditional sense. The Sun emits electromagnetic radiation which carries heat and light to the Earth through space. The Earth absorbs this radiation and warms up as a result.

If the Earth was the size of a basketball, then the Moon would be about the size of a tennis ball in relative scale. The Moon is about 1/4 the diameter of Earth, so in this scenario, its size would proportionally shrink down as well.

The are probably many we haven't discovered yet. However currently there are five known dwarf planets.

As proposed by the Heliocentric Theory, the Sun is the center of the Solar System.

The moon's surface gets smooth through various processes such as impact cratering, volcanic activity, and erosion by micrometeorites. Over time, these processes help to reduce surface roughness and create smoother areas on the moon's surface.

The dead and decomposed trees are part of the biosphere, specifically the forest ecosystems that make up the terrestrial component of the Earth's system. Once trees die and decompose, they contribute nutrients back into the soil, supporting new plant growth and completing the nutrient cycling process within the ecosystem.

The four furthest planets from the sun are the gas giants; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune (being the furthest planet out). There are some dwarf planets beyond Neptune though, including Makemake, Sedna and Pluto.

"The Solar System may be divided by its components into three major components: the inner system, the near outer system, and the far outer system."

There are not 7 parts as such.

We can see planets in the solar system because they reflect sunlight, making them visible from Earth. Due to their size and proximity to the Sun, planets appear as bright points of light in the night sky. Telescopes also help magnify and clarify our view of planets.

No, it is not possible to physically touch planets as they are massive celestial bodies existing in space. Additionally, most planets in our solar system are composed of gas, rock, and other elements, making them uninhabitable and impossible to land on.

The stage that comes after the nebula in the star's life cycle is the protostar stage. During this stage, gravity causes the gas and dust within the nebula to clump together and heat up, eventually forming a dense, hot core. This marks the beginning of nuclear fusion within the protostar.

The Heliocentric Theory is the theory that states the Sun is the center of the Solar System and all other celestial objects revolve around it. Supporting observations about the theory were by Galileo Galilei.

To start, hopefully my solar system is the same as yours. There is no definite answer depending on how perfectly aligned you are asking. There was an alignment of sorts with 5 planets and the moon May 5th, 2000. The next one of those will happen in 2040. Including all the planets and a near perfect to perfect alignment, it's in the millions of years to trillions of years. For better information check out below:
