What is the procedure of making the solar system?
The solar system formed about 4.6 billion years ago from a giant molecular cloud. Gravity caused the cloud to collapse, forming a spinning disk that eventually formed the sun, planets, moons, and other celestial bodies. The process involved accretion, where particles stuck together to form larger objects, and gravitational interactions that shaped their orbits.
The formation of the solar system from a huge cloud of dust and gases is called?
The formation of the solar system from a huge cloud of dust and gases is called solar nebular hypothesis. This theory suggests that a rotating disk of gas and dust collapsed under its own gravity, forming the Sun and planets.
Which planets in the solar system have liquid water ice and clouds?
Only Earth has Liquid water, Ice, and Gas.
Many planets have clouds in the atmosphere; Venus and Jupiter, for example. But the clouds of Venus are made of sulfuric acid at several hundred degrees.
Jupiter's moon Europa _might_ contain liquid water beneath the ice; there are interesting ridges on the surface that suggest water surging from cracks in the ice and then freezing. It will take a dedicated probe to discover what's going on there.
Does the sun move around the solar system?
Yes, Sun does move and even the entire solar system moves with the sun and all these planets also revolve around the sun.
Sun also rotates on its own - this is observed by monitoring the position of sun spots on the sun which move position everyday.
No it doesn't it just looks like it does as we move and so does the moon and every other plannet but the sun does DEFERNETLY not move!BUT! it does. Just like how plannets orbit the sun the sun the sun orbits around the galaxy taking it's solar system with is.What is the oldest object in our solar system?
The oldest objects in our solar system are believed to be the meteorites that have been dated to be around 4.56 billion years old. These meteorites provide valuable information about the early solar system and the processes that occurred during its formation.
Are all solar systems the same?
Not necessarily! System with one sun (star) at its centre is called solar system. A solar system may have anything. Our solar system has, of course eight planets, asteriods, comets. But any other solar system in the cosmos may have different things,
Which planet is the closest to the sun?
The closest planet to our sun is the planet Mercury, at a distance of 57,909,175 km or 0.387 AU (Astronomical Units).
Although Mercury is the closest planet to the sun, it is not the hottest; Venus (the second-closest planet to the Sun) is the hottest planet in our Solar System because Venus' atmosphere is thick with greenhouse gases, trapping and retaining a lot of the Sun's heat (not allowing it to reflect back nor radiate away on Venus' night side) whereas Mercury has almost no atmosphere, and more of the Sun's heat radiates away on Mercury's night side; in fact, Mercury's lack of atmosphere and long night (Mercury only completes a day/night cycle once per every two Mercury-years; a Mercury-year is about 89 Earth-days ... this means years on Mercury pass faster than days) give the planet Mercury a huge variation in temperature, from -183C to 427C.
In order, from closest to the sun to furthest out:
Venus
Earth
What is Pluto classified as in the solar system?
Pluto is considered to be two different things.
1. Pluto is a dwarf planet. It is in hydrostatic equilibrium (round) and it orbits the sun, but it has not cleared its neighborhood of debris.
What's its neighborhood? The Kuiper belt, a collection of icy objects similar to comets that somewhat resembles the asteroid belt. This leads to its second classification.
2. Pluto is a Kuiper Belt Object (KBO). Specifically, it's classified as a plutino - an object within a certain zone of the Kuiper Belt.
What is moving towards the star vega?
The Voyager 1 spacecraft is moving in the general direction of the star Vega, but it will take thousands of years to get close. It is currently the farthest man-made object from Earth.
What is the Seventh planet in the solar system?
Uranus.
The seventh planet in our solar system is Uranus.
How many years ago did the solar system originate?
4.6 billion years ago or 5 billion years if you round up. :)
What is the direction of revolution of the planets in our solar system?
The planets revolve (orbit) in an anticlockwise direction when observed from a point high above the Earth's north pole.
Which planet is the second largest planet?
Saturn is the second-largest planet in the solar system and also the least dense planet. It is less dense than water. In other words, if there was a big enough bath tub, Saturn would float in it.
How does temperature's affect life on planets?
Yes, the planets temperatures do have something to do with the life that exists on the planet because mostly Uranus's temperature is -210 °C. In this type of weather the life that could exist has to be a fur covered species so that it can survive the temperature conditions on the planet.
Other things in the solar system besides planets and the sun?
The star you see at night are not in the solar system; they are far outside of it. The only star in the solar system is the sun. The solar system contains the sun, the planets, the moons of the planets, as well as many asteroids, comets, icy objects in the outer solar system, and plenty of dust.
The first stage is the collapse of a giant molecular cloud, where gravity causes the cloud to condense and form a spinning disk. The second stage involves the disk cooling and flattening, with a central bulge forming where the Sun eventually emerges.
Earth's solar system rotates around the milky way once every 230 million years?
its estimated to be 220 ~ 230 million years for the sun to rotate around the galactic core 360 degrees ... but we are about 1/2 out towards the edge of the galaxy from the galactic core ... and as such rotate slower than the most distant star ...
as such you cannot really gain how fast the galaxy is rotateing unless you know the rotation of the slowest ( or most distant ) item
we are generally ( if the galaxy were modelled on our solar system) in the position of the earth
giving our rotation of 365 days (630,000 years to one earth day)
if we imagine that the orbit of Pluto represents the extreme range of a solar body in rotation of the core
Pluto's Rotation 90,613.305 days x 630,000 = 57,000 billion years
as a point of interest The last time we were in the same place in our orbit dinosaurs were just starting to appear on the earth
How do scientist determine the age of the solar system?
Scientists determine the age of the solar system by studying radioactive isotopes in meteorites, lunar samples, and other materials. By analyzing the decay of these isotopes, researchers can calculate the time elapsed since the formation of the solar system, known as the solar system's age, which is currently estimated to be around 4.6 billion years.
Where does the sun set down at?
The sun sets in the west due to the Earth's rotation from west to east. This daily phenomenon occurs as the Earth spins on its axis, causing the sun to disappear below the horizon in the evening.
Do we live in a geocentric or heliocentric solar system?
an interesting question. it's not clear the universe has an actual centre that you can point to. It's unlikely to be the Earth, which is orbiting around the much heavier sun. Which in turn is orbiting about the centre of the Milky Way. But centrism is a way of thinking about things in the most helpful way. A geocentric universe is a useful way of thinking to plan a car or airplane trip, not so great for planning a space probe to Saturn.
no
What is an easy way to study the formation of the solar system?
One easy way to study the formation of the solar system is to read books or watch documentaries that explain the process in a simplified manner. Online resources, such as NASA's website, also provide detailed information and visualizations to help understand the formation of the solar system. Additionally, visiting museums or planetariums that have exhibits about the solar system can offer a hands-on learning experience.
Which planet can be classified as a lesser planet?
All of the eight planets are all lesser planets but Pluto isn't a planet so it isn't a lesser planet
Why are your sun and eight planets called the solar system?
The term "solar system" comes from the Latin words "sol" meaning sun, and "sistema" meaning a set of things working together. Thus, the sun and its eight planets are referred to as the solar system because they all revolve around the sun due to its gravitational pull.
