The Solar System

Ever wondered if there is life on Mars? Or if Jupiter has five moons? Look no further; here is the category concerning all questions about our solar system and the known planets!

4,302 Questions

What position is the moon in the solar system?

The Moon is a satelite of the Earth and the Earth is the 3rd planet out form the Sun in the solar system.

Do any planets in our solar system have ice?

Yes, several planets in our solar system have ice. For example, Mars has polar ice caps made of frozen water and carbon dioxide. Moons like Europa and Enceladus have vast ice sheets covering their surfaces. Additionally, Pluto's surface is composed of a mixture of water, nitrogen, and methane ice.

What evidence exists today that the number of rocks and rock particle floating around in the solar system was much greater in the past soon after the planets formed?

One piece of evidence that suggests the number of rocks and rock particles in the solar system was greater in the past is the presence of asteroid families, which are groups of asteroids with similar orbits that likely originated from the breakup of a larger parent body. Additionally, the high frequency of impact craters on the moon and other planetary surfaces indicates more collisions in the past, which would have resulted from a higher density of debris in the early solar system. Astronomical observations of debris disks around young stars also support the idea of a more populated early solar system.

Is the universe made up of your solar system?

yes ,the universe is made up of our solar system and there are systems within systems that keep going on and on.

The universe is made up of countless numbers of stars. These stars form huge groups of stars called galaxies. Within these galaxies are solar systems. Our solar system is but one of billions.

What is the name of the celestial record for the fastest revolution around the solar systems largest star?

I'm not quite sure what the question is talking about, but that has never stopped me before.

There is only one star in the solar system, so by every law, lemma, and conjecture of

mathematical impenetrability, that one and the largest one must be one and the same.

It is the one we call the "Sun".

The fastest revolution known around the sun is that of the planet Mercury, which

completes an orbital circuit of the sun every 88 days. If there is any object with a

shorter period of revolution, then all or most of its orbit must be closer to the sun

than the orbit of Mercury. No such object has yet been discovered.

Do the star planets orbit around the sun?

I'm not sure what you mean by "Star planets." However, I can tell you that there are 8 known planets that orbit the star Sol, including Earth (Sol 3).

Sun and stars are called what in the solar system?

Stars (apart from our Sun) are not a part of our Solar System.

Stars (apart from our Sun) are not a part of our Solar System.

Stars (apart from our Sun) are not a part of our Solar System.

Stars (apart from our Sun) are not a part of our Solar System.

Why is liquid so rare in your solar system?

Well, in my solar system liquid isn't really that rare. The second planet in my solar system has an almost entirely liquid crust, and a liquid mantle. The third planet orbiting the star in my solar system has a surface over 75% covered in liquid, and has a liquid mantle. The sixth and seventh planets in my solar system both have large hydrogen oceans. Several of the moons orbiting the sixth and seventh planets in my solar system also have liquids. I don't see why liquid could be called rare in my solar system. What about yours?

Does red dwarf nemesis exist?

We know not. The existence of Nemesis is a hypothesis - a possible explanation for a perceived regularity in mass extinctions in the past. it has neither been confirmed, nor is there sufficient evidence to discard the possibility of such a star.

Which planet has two moons in the solar system?

Mars is the planet in our solar system that has two moons, Phobos and Deimos. These moons were discovered in 1877 by American astronomer Asaph Hall.

What are the names of solar months?

Some names of solar months include January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, and December.

Which part of the solar system is associated with the name Solis Dies?

Normally it is Dies Solis.

Dies (Latin for days), Solis (Latin for Sun) - hence Sunday.

So the Sun.

What is a solar syste m?

A solar system is a collection of planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and other celestial bodies that orbit a central star, in our case the Sun. Our own solar system consists of eight planets, including Earth, as well as dwarf planets like Pluto and numerous smaller objects.

What is considered the glue that holds your solar system?

The answer to this question is 'Gravity.' The Sun's gravity causes the rest of the solar system to orbit around it.

True or false the heliopause marks the end of the solar system?

FALSE.

The outer edge of the "Oort Cloud" of comets marks the end of the Solar System.

What are the two different types of planets in your solar system called?

In our solar system, there are two types of planets: rocky terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) and gas giant planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune). Terrestrial planets are small, dense, and primarily composed of rock and metal, while gas giants are large and predominantly made up of hydrogen and helium.

Which planet in your solar system is called the red planet?

Mars is often referred to as the red planet due to its reddish appearance caused by iron oxide on its surface.

What is the height of the solar system?

In terms of physical dimensions, the orbit of the most outer planet (Neptune) is around 4.5 billion km from the sun, or 30 AU (Astronomical Units) where 1 AU is the earth to sun distance. So we are talking a 60 AU diameter orbit that all of the planets in our solar system fits into, a big circle (more or less) that is 9 billion km in diameter.

There is a lot more to our solar system beyond Neptune though, there are then the Kuiper belt objects further out, which include smaller rocks and ice lumps to larger dwarf planets - including Pluto. This extends out from around Neptune's distance to around 55AU - its a bit like the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

But the suns sphere of influence may then also include a large amount of matter that extends out as far as 50,000AU (or roughly one light year). This is called the Oort cloud, and it is believed to be where comets originate.

Which body is classified in your solar system as a star?

The Sun is classified as a star in the solar system. It is a yellow dwarf star located at the center of the solar system and serves as the primary source of light and energy for the planets orbiting around it.

What is the biggest planet outside the solar system?

The biggest planet outside our solar system is known as HD 100546 b. It is located about 335 light-years away from Earth and is estimated to be at least six times more massive than Jupiter.

What is the rockiest planet in your solar system?

MARS is the rockiest planet in our olar system its a verry well known fact :)

Name two objects in the solar system besides moons and planets?

Asteroids and comets are two examples of objects in the solar system besides moons and planets. Asteroids are rocky objects that orbit the Sun, mostly found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Comets are icy bodies that also orbit the Sun, with tails that form when they come close to the Sun.

How much kilometers would it take to get to mars from earth at the speed of light?

When Mars is as close to Earth as it can possibly be, and if it were possible to travel

in a straight line all the way there, the trip would take you about 72 million kilometers.

The distance would not depend on your speed.
