The Solar System

None of the planets in our solar system are exactly the same size as Earth, but Venus is often considered Earth's "sister planet" because it is very similar in size. Venus is only slightly smaller than Earth, with a diameter about 95% that of Earth's.

Venus is the hottest planet, with temperatures of 600oC.

The most heavily cratered moon in the solar system is Callisto.

Hydrogen is the most abundant element and makes up 99.8% of the Solar System.

Here is a good way to view it: Even if you added the masses of all the planets to the sun's mass, the sun would still account for 99.86% of the total. In a nutshell, the sun is about 1,000 times more massive than that of all the planets combined.

Well, the basic position of Earth in our solar system is the third planet out from the Sun and it is in the group of the planets known as the 'inner planets' as they are closest to the Sun.

They were formed from cosmic dust found in a nebula. There is a new idea. Stars as well as our own sun come from the host super massive black hole found in the center of our galaxy. It is currently thought that such black holes are empty and that stars that are drawn into them are lost to infinity. The new idea is that black holes are simply highly compressed light photons. No matter can be drawn into black holes except perhaps other black holes. They spin very fast. From time to time they discharge matter in the form of stars. Many stars in their infancy also spin very fast and contain an excess of matter that is discharged in the form of planets. When this happens, the violent forces during this process create the elements found in planets that are not normally found in stars. This answers the question of how heavy elements are created. This new idea also explains why galaxies are flat, spin and are spiral shaped. It also explains why planets are most often found along the equator of thier host planet. The dust and gas theory of star and planet creation is riddled with problems. In fact, the most we discover about our universe, the more this dust and gas theory requires fixing. In our own solar system, the planets resemble in many ways their host star. The sunspots on the sun are birthing scars from when the planets were ejected. Most curent cosmological theory comes from the big bang theory which is based on accreation. The idea of matter clumping together to form planets and stars and galaxies in an expanding universe is absurd.

Our sun is around 4.5 billion years old, and in all of that time it has been steadily using up it's nuclear fuel (hydrogen). This process will continue for billions of years to come (estimates say around 5 billion), until the sun has no more, or at least not enough, hydrogen to burn. When this happens, the sun will start to burn helium instead. The core will contract and the outer layers will cool and expand. At this stage the sun will become a Red Giant. The outer layers will continue to expand, the core will continue to contract, and helium atoms in the core will start to fuse together, forming carbon atoms. Since carbon atoms cannot be compressed any further, the core of the sun will become stable, releasing very little energy (the sun will cool). The outer layers will drift off into space, becoming a nebula. During the expansion process, all of the planets in the solar system will be either destroyed (inner planets), or have their atmospheres completely burned away (gas giants).

It has the Sun is in the middle of the solar system with all the planets

revolving around the Sun.

It is also called the "heliocentric model" of the solar system.

It is the model we use today and is now known to be the correct model.

it does we just don't quite have the tech to figure out what to do break down what that entails. you have to go the the most basic thing in the universe. more basic than a single cell organism.... more basic than a cell.

The Moon looms above at an average of 384,400 km (238,885 mi) away.

Likewise, Earth looms above the Sun at 147,098,074 km (91402505.6 mi) away at even the closest part of the year.

Assuming you haven't left high orbit, the closest, of course, is the Earth, anywhere between nothing and halfway to the Moon.

Conclusion:

The Sun!

Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune are the four planets in our solar system known to have rings. Saturn's rings are the most prominent and well-known, but the other planets have less visible ring systems.

It is obviously the solar system.

The sun is the center point of the solar system. Earth moves around it. The sun is a great force of gravity (and is where the gravity on earth originates) keeping everything surrounding it in constant orbit around it.

As of my last update, the Saturn Sky has been discontinued and is no longer in production. It may be available on the used car market in Europe, but new models are no longer being produced or sold in dealerships.

Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune are the planets in our solar system that have rings. Saturn's rings are the most well-known and prominent, but the other three planets also have ring systems, although they are not as easily visible from Earth.

About 15 billion years ago a huge explosion started the expansion of the universe. This explosion is known as the Big Bang. At the point of this event all of the matter and energy of space was contained at one point. The Big Bang created our universe that now consists of our own Milky Way Galaxy and many other galaxies. Also, the big bang made every planet, star, matter and energy in the universe. Some evidence to support the big bang theory is that all the galaxies are moving away from each other.

The formation and evolution of the Solar System is estimated to have begun 4.5 billion years ago. A nebula (a huge dust cloud left over from the original stars of the galaxy) started collapsing under its own gravity. Over a period of millions of years, it shrank, heating up as it contracted and compressed in the center. Then the matter around the center fell inward toward the spinning center, and flattened into a rotating disk.

As the disk got thinner and thinner, particles began to stick together and form clumps. Some clumps got bigger, as particles and small clumps stuck to them, eventually forming planets or moons . Near the center of the cloud, where planets like Earth formed, only rocky material could stand the great heat. Icy matter settled in the outer regions of the disk along with rocky material, where the gas giant planets like Jupiter formed. As the cloud continued to fall in, the center eventually got so hot that it became a star, the Sun, and blew most of the gas and dust of the new solar system outward.

The larger clumps (planetesimals) collided and combined to form planets, all of which were originally molten rock. The planets swept loose dust and gas from their orbits, and began to cool, forming atmospheres. Smaller chunks either broke up into smaller chunks or were drawn together to form asteroids and moons.

Olympus Mons on Mars claims the title of the largest volcanic cone in the solar system. It measures about 13.6 miles (22 kilometers) high and 370 miles (600 kilometers) in diameter at its base, making it three times taller than Mount Everest.

There is no "typical" size for a planet, as they can vary greatly in size. However, Earth is considered an average-sized planet in our solar system.

Ganymede is the largest moon in the solar system, and it orbits around Jupiter.

The Hubble Space Telescope has been used to detect the oldest and most distant objects in the solar system. Its powerful cameras and instruments help astronomers study these objects, such as distant galaxies and stars, by capturing their light and providing valuable insight into their formation and evolution.

Orreries or planetariums are mechanical models of the solar system that can simulate the movement of planets relative to each other at their actual velocities. These models are often used to study and visualize the dynamics of the solar system.

Then most likely we would be destroyed since we live on Earth and Earth is in our solar system. But there is a very slight chance of that happening. __________________ I'm skeptical of the first response. If the minor planet Pluto were destroyed, I think it might be some time before anyone would even notice, unless large enough chunks of the destroyed body posed a threat to us. It would depend on the planet and the cause of destruction to a great extent. The inner rocky planets might be visited by a very large body, or rogue planet, and depending on its course there might be significant amounts of debris that could pose serious threats to earth. One likely theory is that our moon was formed as an after-effect of such a collision. Fortunately, this unimaginably catastrophic collision happened when earth was mostly molten rock. On the other hand, it's hard to imagine what exactly would cause the destruction of the gas giant Jupiter. Whatever collides with it just moves on in. Anything seriously distrupting Jupiter's coherence would probably cause only a temporary spreading of Jupiter's gases. Eventually they would all come together again. The same would probably be true of all the gas/ice giants. The planets do react to each others' gravity, though, and the perturbations of planetary orbits would be affected by the destruction of a planet, or the serious distribution of a planet's matter along its orbit.

The sun is the gravitational epicenter of the solar system. It keeps all of the planets, as well as other objects in space (asteroids, moons, comets) in their orbit and prevents them from flying off in a straight line into space. The sun also provides light and heat, which allow for life on Earth and possibly other planets. The sun also keeps every planet, moon, asteroid and comet in our solar system in orbit.
the sun provides all the natural heat and natural light for the earth. it's gravity is also what keeps a planet in the solar system in orbit of the sun.
