The Solar System

this is in order from the sun: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Msars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune

Now the dwarf planets are: Ceres, Pluto and Eris

The moon phases repeat approximately every 29.5 days, which is known as a lunar cycle or lunar month. This cycle includes the full moon, waxing gibbous, first quarter, waxing crescent, new moon, waning crescent, third quarter, and waning gibbous phases.

The element named after the coldest planet in the solar system is "Neptunium." It is named after the planet Neptune, which is known for its icy temperatures in the outer reaches of our solar system.

That depends on the time of the year - or even century. Of all the planets of the Solar System, Venus approaches closest to ours. Most of the time, either Mars or Venus are closest to Earth. On rare occasions, Mercury is closer than either Mars or Venus.

Science derives from an interest in, and curiosity about the universe in which we live. It has long been our experience that knowledge that is obtained out of pure curiosity, will very often prove to have unexpectedly important practical applications at some future date. So, we cannot really predict how useful knowledge about other planets or objects in the solar system will ultimately prove to be. It might be very useful indeed. For example, it is at least theoretically possible that at some future date, our observation of objects in the solar system will give us advance warning of some very dangerous impending collision of an object with the Earth, and it may be that by having advance warning, we will be able to send a mission to deflect the incoming object.

Jupiter rotates the fastest, taking less than 10 hours to complete one rotation on it's axis. Saturn comes in second, taking just over 10 hours to complete one rotation. Uranus takes about 18 hours and Neptune takes about 19 hours.

Earth, Mars, Mercury, and Venus all take at least a full Earth day to rotate once.

Earth is the third planet from Sol (the sun).

The sun does not rotate around the sun. It does rotate on its axis, which is the result of angular momentum left over from the original gas cloud from which the sun condensed, billions of years ago.

Quiet solar periods refer to times when the sun's activity is limited, with fewer sunspots and solar flares. Active solar periods, on the other hand, are characterized by increased sunspot and solar flare activity, which can lead to phenomena like auroras and geomagnetic storms on Earth.

Venus orbits the Sun closer than the Earth and Mars orbits the Sun farther than the Earth. So the answer must be: "Venus and Mars orbit the sun on either side of the earth's orbital path." In 1965 and 1968 NASA launched Pioneer 6 and Pioneer 9 respectively in solar orbits in 80 % of the Earth's distance to the Sun. Therefore they are completing their orbits faster than us. In 1966 and 1967 NASA launched Pioneer 7 and Pioneer 8 respectively in solar orbits in 110 % of the Earth's distance to the Sun. Therefore they are completing their orbits slower than us. Because they orbit the Sun on either side of the Earth's orbital path, some of them are, from time to time, 180° away from us. They are looking at parts of the Sun around 12 days before the Sun's rotation reveals it to us. If a nasty solar flare is born, they can warn us several days ahead (the light from the solar flare uses around 8 min to get to the Pioneer probe, and the Pioneers' radios use only around 16 min on transmissions).

There are 8 planets in the solar system, not just 3. They are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

There are 3 planets that are "Earth-like" in that they have gaseous atmospheres separate from their solid surfaces: Earth, Venus, and Mars. These planets display an array of atmospheric states: Venus has one that is very dense and hot, while Mars' is very cold and thin. Earth is the only one of the three atmospheres that is not almost entirely carbon dioxide.

there is no planet in the middle of the solar system only a big gas ball which we people call the sun

The sun is smack-dab in the center of the solar system. That's why it's called the solar system.

There IS a possibility that one of Jupiter's moons, Europa, may one day create life. As of "other living entities" in our tiny little solar system, no. But dont let your curiosity end there. As large as our galaxy is there are millions of star systems some of which are just like ours that may also contain life. Every object in the universe is a victim or creator of circumstance; it all comes down to if we are open minded enough to see it.

Yes. Mercury, Venus, Earth, & Mars are inner planets while jupitar, saturn, uranus, and neptune are outer planets. NB For technical reasons, Pluto is not a planet nor has it been since 2006.

Jupiter is the oldest planet in our solar system, forming around 4.5 billion years ago along with the rest of the planets. Its large size and location likely allowed it to form relatively quickly after the birth of the Sun.

There is no evidence that aliens have ever visited the Earth and it is unlikely that this will happen in the foreseeable future.

If there were aliens, they would live very far away. If there had been any visits it it probable that evidence would have been found.

Neptune is our 8th planet in the solar system!

Perturbations. These small changes can cause slight variations in a planet's orbital path due to the gravitational influences of other planets.
