Name location contents and purpose of FT12file system of the windowXP?

The FT12 file system is a legacy file system used in older versions of Windows, including Windows XP. It is primarily used for optical discs, such as CDs and DVDs. The FT12 format enables the operating system to read and write data to these discs, providing a way to store and access files on optical media.

Who explained that gravitational forces hold the solar system together?

Isaac Newton. Having formulated his theory of universal gravitation and the math

that describes how it works, he was able to show that it leads to Kepler's laws,

which describe the motions of everything in the solar system.

What planet is the largest object in the solar system?

The largest object in the solar system is not a planet. It is the Sun.

The largest planet is Jupiter.

How does a nebula developes into a solar system?

A nebula develops into a solar system through the process of gravitational collapse. As the nebula contracts due to gravity, it starts to spin and flatten into a spinning disk. Within this disk, the material begins to clump together and form planetesimals, which eventually coalesce to form planets, moons, and other objects in the solar system.

Why do all of the planets in the solar system revolve around the sun?

All the planets in the Solar System revolve around the Sun because it's gravitational pull attracts them to it. Gravity is holding them in orbit like an invisible string. The Sun is also the thing in the Solar System with the largest mass. This means the Sun also has the largest gravitational pull out of anything in the Solar System.

What is the third hottest planet in the solar system?

The third hottest planet in our solar system is Venus. Despite not being the closest planet to the Sun, its thick atmosphere traps heat, causing it to have a surface temperature that is hotter than Mercury, the closest planet to the Sun.

Order of the plantes?

1) Mercury

2) Venus - Hottest planet

3) Earth

4) Mars

5) Jupiter

6) Saturn

7) Uranus

8) Neptune

Planets 1-4 are known as the rocky planets.

Planets 5-8 are known as the gas giants.

Pluto was only ever a planet in the first place because it was round. It is no longer for many reasons such as: it is in the Kuiper belt and its moon is virtually the same size as it. It is now a dwarf planet.

Which planet in your solar system is the second coldest?

Now that Pluto is not considered a planet,Neptune is the coldest followed by uranus. But many scientist believe Uranus is colder than neptune because the coldest temprature recorded in uranus is colder than neptune's

What starts with L in the solar system?

"Light" is essential for sustaining life on Earth and stars like the Sun emit light in the solar system.

What is the position of the Mars in the solar system?

Mars is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun. The orbital motion is a combination

of the "sideways" velocity of Mars and the gravitational pull in the direction of the Sun.

Another movement is the rotation of Mars on its axis.

Why is the North Star not a part of the Solar System?

The North Star, or Polaris, is not a part of the Solar System because it is much farther away than the objects within our Solar System. Polaris is actually a distant star located in the constellation Ursa Minor, while our Solar System consists of the Sun, planets, moons, asteroids, and comets that orbit around it.

What is the hottest star in the solar system?

There is only one star in the solar system that is the sun. So to answer your question the sun is. The sun is a main sequence star also. The hottest stars are blue/white ones followed by stars like our own than the coolest stars are red ones

What is the basic structure of the solar system?

  • Sun (Star)
  • Rocky or terrestrial planets
  • Asteroid belt
  • Gas giants
  • Ice Giants
  • Trans Neptune Objects
  • Kyper Belt
  • Oort cloud
  • "Who knows"

Whats the warmest planet?

In our solar system its Venus. Although it's only the second closest planet to the sun after mercury, it has a thick atmosphere which helps to retain it's heat.

Where is the moon in the solar system?

ABOUT 40,000 km from the Earth
it surrounds the earth.

Coldest planet in solar system?

Neptune is the coldest planet in our solar system with surface temperatures dipping as low as -360 degrees Fahrenheit (-218 degrees Celsius). Its distance from the sun, along with its thick atmosphere of ice and ammonia, contributes to its frigid temperatures.

Which planet is known as the watery planet?

Ocean planets have been hypothesised, where the planet is dominated by water coverage and no land. An exoplanet (a planet in another solar system, orbiting another star) called GJ 1214 b is a possible candidate for an ocean planet.

What is Jupiter position in the solar system?

Jupiter is the fifth planet out from the Sun and the first of the four outer gas giant planets. It is around 5.2 astronomical units from the Sun on average (5.2 times the Earth to Sun distance). But it is not nearly as far as the outer 3 major planets (Saturn 9.6 AU, Uranus 19.2 AU, Neptune 30.1 AU)

Which object in your solar system is more than 700 times more massive than the eight planets combined?

The most massive object in most solar systems is the sun, which is the central star. Since stars differ in mass, and each star has something different orbiting it, most stars will be larger or smaller than 700x the mass of the bodies orbiting them. In the solar system of which Earth is a part, there are 18 planets, which all orbit the star Sol.

Recognize the sources of light in the solar system?

The main source of light in the solar system is the Sun, which emits light through nuclear fusion in its core. Other sources of light in the solar system include reflected sunlight off planets, moons, asteroids, and comets, as well as natural phenomena like volcanic eruptions and lightning. Artificial sources of light, such as spacecraft or probes, can also contribute to illumination.

Are any moons in the solar system larger than planets?

No, in our solar system, there are no moons that are larger than the eight planets. The largest moon in our solar system is Ganymede, which is a moon of Jupiter, but it is still smaller than Mercury, the smallest planet.

Which planet has the largest moon in the solar system?

Ganymede is the largest moon in the solar system. It is a moon of Jupiter

What is the solar syetem made out of?

The solar system in which we live is an assemblage of 8 planets and more than 40 dwarf planets orbiting the Sun, a star. There are also the moons of many of the planets and billions of comets and meteors. The solar system has a boundary of billions of comets, the Oort Cloud.

Defined, a solar system is a system of a star, or usually 2 stars, orbited by planets and dwarf planets and comets and meteor's and the planets' moons.

What are all the names of the solar system?

The planets in our solar system, in order from the Sun outward, are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Additionally, there are dwarf planets such as Pluto and numerous smaller celestial bodies like asteroids and comets.
