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
Where is Mars location in the solar system?
Mars is the fourth planet from the sun in the solar system.
What does the solar system term nodes mean?
well.....
in simple words i would say that the solar system means up away in the sky were there are nine planets and the first is mercury, venus, earth, mars, Jupiter, Saturn, uranus, neptune, Pluto - in other words: (my very excellent master just set me nine planets)!
or another earth or dimention that consists of nine planets!
Four largest planets of solar system?
The four planets in our Solar System are:
- Mercury
- Venus
- Earth
- Mars
If you want to know the rest of the planets here they are but they are not in our Solar System, after mars is:
- Jupiter
- Saturn
- Uranus
- Neptune
Pluto comes after Neptune but Pluto isn't known as a planet, it is known as a rock because all it is made out of is rock and is so tiny!
Thank you for reading :D x
What planet has the coldest spot in the solar system?
Also Pluto is clearly one of the coldest place in our system.
So the coldest place in the solar system are craters within craters on the moon , which have a temperature of -397 degrees Fahrenheit, only 62 degrees Fahrenheit above absolute zero.
WHATEVA. It's Triton
What planets in our solar system have four distinct seasons?
The answer (a bit simplified) is those with axial tilts like the Earth.
That rules out Mercury, Venus and Jupiter (very small tilts ) and also
Uranus (tilt too extreme).
That leaves Earth (of course), Mars, Saturn and Neptune.
Note: Some authorities give the tilt of Venus as 3 degrees, others give
177 degrees. It's a matter of definition. Either way it's not like Earth.
Another note: You can make an argument for all the planets (except
Mercury perhaps) having 4 seasons. I think they do, but sometimes the
variations would be slight or unusual. (For a school test go by what the
teacher says!)
Do other galaxies have solar systems?
Yes, other galaxies have solar systems similar to our own Milky Way galaxy. These systems consist of stars like our Sun, planets, and other celestial bodies. Studying these systems helps scientists understand the diversity of planetary systems in the universe.
What are the differences between the solar system and the structure of an atom?
Electrons orbit around the nucleus in all sorts of crazy shapes, where as planets orbit around the sun in just a circle.
yes that's right but still there are some similarities and differences like the atom are disscused in subatomic energy and have subatomic particles
As of now, no humans live on Mars. Several robotic missions have been sent to explore the planet, but no manned missions have been sent yet. Various plans and proposals exist for future human missions to Mars, but they have not yet been realized.
Is it possible to leave your solar system?
That would depend on the speed, and on what you consider the "Solar System". The Oort Cloud is believed to be up to a distance of about a light-year; at the speed of light, it would take a year to reach that.
How many planets have more than ten moons?
Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus all have more than ten moons.
the solar system is very big but if you look at a picture showing the whole entire universe our solar system isn't even a full stop on it. Our galaxy is around us our solar system is inside the galaxy the universe is every single galaxy together. It is to big to measure!!
What is the warmest planet out of Jupiter Venus Mercury Mars or Earth?
Venus is the warmest planet in our solar system due to its thick atmosphere that traps heat. Its average surface temperature is about 467°C (872°F), making it hotter than Mercury, which is closer to the sun.
Which planet in our solar system is the coldest?
Neptune is the coldest planet in our solar system with temperatures dropping as low as minus 360 degrees Fahrenheit. This frigid temperature is due to its distance from the Sun and its thick atmosphere, composed mainly of hydrogen and helium.
What is the second largest planet known as the ringed planet in our solar system?
Saturn. It's the sixth planet from the sun, the second largest and has the most spectacular ring system.
Jupiter is named after the Roman King of gods, Jupiter, A.K.A. the Greek god Zeus.
Are comets older than our solar system?
Comets are made up of remnants from the early solar system, so their age is generally around the same as our solar system, approximately 4.6 billion years old. While some comets may contain even older material from beyond our solar system, as a whole, comets are not older than our solar system.
What is unique about Earth among the planets of the solar system?
Earth's most distinct differences from other planets in the solar system are:
- That it has abundant quantities of water.
- That is has a great variety of different lifeforms.
- Sentient (conscious) life is present on Earth (humans).
Other planets in the Solar System are known to be home to some lifeforms (for example, Mars); however, none of these lifeforms are particularly developed or abundant.
The fact that Earth is home to such great biodiversity is due to a number of factors, including the abundance of water, the atmosphere, and Earth's position from the Sun.
Is Jupiter the biggest planet?
Planets themselves are not alive. So the planet Jupiter is not.
If you are refering to the god Jupiter, who the planet was name after, that would be a matter of opinion. There are an estimated 45,000 Greeks who still believe in those Olympian gods today.
Which planet rotates on its side?
Uranus is the planet that rotates on its side, with an axial tilt of about 98 degrees. This unusual tilt causes extreme seasonal variations on Uranus, where one pole can be in constant sunlight while the other experiences continuous darkness for long periods.
How big is the hurricane on Neptune?
The hurricane on Neptune, known as the Great Dark Spot, is about the size of Earth. It is a massive storm system that can span over 13,000 kilometers in diameter.
What is the distance between venus and earth?
The distance between Venus and Earth varies depending on where the two planets are in their orbits. At their closest, the gap between them is 38 million kilometers, and at their furthest, 261 million kilometers.
It varies by the orbital position of the two planets. The average is about 26 million miles and the closest is about 24 million miles.
Earth's orbit averages 149 million kilometers (93 million miles) from the Sun.
Venus has an orbit of about 108 million kilometers (67 million miles) from the Sun.
The closest approach of about 39.5 million kilometers (23.6 million miles) would be with Venus at its farthest from the Sun and Earth at its closest. This is a rare occurrence.
When Venus lies between the Earth and the Sun, a position known as "inferior conjunction", it makes the closest approach to Earth of any planet, lying at a distance of 41 million km during inferior conjunction.
At 'superior conjunction' (when Venus is on the opposite side of the Sun and not visible to us) she is about 264 million kilometers from the Earth.
Which planets have more than one moon?
Of the eight major planets, two have no moons (Mercury and Venus), while the other five besides Earth have more than one. * Mars has 2 (Phobos and Deimos). * Jupiter has more than 60 known moons. * Saturn has more than 60 known moons. * Uranus has 27 known moons. * Neptune has 13 known moons. Pluto, which in 2006 was reclassified as a "dwarf planet", has 3 moons, the major moon Charon and two smaller ones, Hydra and Nix.
How far is Uranus from the center of the solar system?
The average distance Uranus is from the Sun is 1,783,950,480 miles.
What is the closest star system to our Solar System?
The closest star (aside from the Sun) to Earth is Alpha Centauri. It is about 4.22 light years away from earth. Though we call our star "the sun" its actual name is Sol which is used for the phrase "Solar System". All others are just systems and aren't in any way "solar".
