What Is The Littlest Planet in The Solar System?
Currently, Mercury. Used to be Pluto, R.I.P. Pluto :(
How does the position of the solar system affect the conditions on your planet?
In space there is no air so we can't have the weather we have on Earth so if the planet is closer to the sun the hotter it is because the sun has a fume that's extremely hot and so the farther the planet the cold it is
What is the size of the asteroid belt in your solar system?
The largest asteroid is Ceres, with a diameter of 950 km (590 Miles). It is classified as a dwarf planet, the only one not orbiting in the Kuiper Belt beyond Neptune.
The largest that is only called an asteroid is Pallas, although the third-largest asteroid, Vesta, is denser and therefore more massive. Pallas is about 544 km in diameter while Vesta is more oblate with a mean diameter of about 535 km.
About 1000 km across.
What is an area at the edge of the solar system?
The area at the edge of the solar system is known as the heliopause. It marks the point where the solar wind from the Sun meets the interstellar medium of the galaxy. It is where the influence of the Sun ends and the influence of interstellar space begins.
Would you freeze burn up or float on uranus?
Floating on Uranus would be the most likely scenario if a person were on the planet, due to its mostly gaseous composition and low density. The lack of a solid surface means there would be no freezing or burning, but rather an experience of extreme cold and pressure.
Which planets in your solar system does not have at least 1 moon?
Mercury and Venus. They are the only planets without a moon.
What is the three main parts of solar system?
The three main parts of the solar system are the Sun, which is the central star that all other objects orbit around; the eight planets, which include Earth, Jupiter, and Mars; and various smaller bodies such as asteroids, comets, and moons that also orbit around the Sun.
What is the speed of all eight planets?
The unit is km per day Mercury=659090.9090...
venus=480640.854472630173565
Earth=410733.84446878422782

Can planets of the solar system be found in the Big Dipper?
No, the big dipper (or Ursa Major) is not in the area of the sky that the planets move through. All of the planets, sun and moon are more or less on the same plane, so they all move in the same east/west line across the sky. Ursa Major is more to the north.
How many planets of the solar system without Pluto?
Since the 2006 reclassification of Pluto to a Dwarf Planet, there are now eight planets in our solar system.
How are the real solar system and a model of the solar system different?
The real solar system consists of the sun, planets, moons, asteroids, and comets in actual space. A model of the solar system is a representation of the real solar system, typically smaller in scale and used for educational purposes. The real solar system is dynamic and follows the laws of physics, while a model offers a simplified version for easier understanding.
How do you know what color a planet or moon really is?
Scientists determine the true color of planets and moons by analyzing the light they reflect. By studying the spectra of light that is reflected or emitted from these celestial bodies, scientists can identify the wavelengths of light that are present and use this information to determine their true color. The composition of the surface, atmosphere, and any other factors that affect the reflection and absorption of light also play a role in determining the perceived color of a planet or moon.
Which planet has a pole toward the sun?
Uranus has a pole that faces the sun due to its unique tilt in its axial rotation. This causes its poles to experience long periods of sunlight (about 42 years each) followed by long periods of darkness.
What planet is the hottest and your solar system?
Venus with a tempreture of 461.9°C (863.4°F) on average
Followed very closley by Mercury even though it is closer to the sun with a tempreture range of -184 ºC to 427 ºC (-300 ºF to 800 ºF)
Venus wins because it has an atmosphere that has gone into a run away Green House effect.
What is unique about the suns rotation?
Different layers rotate at different speeds.
See related question.
How do the planets move around the sun to create a year?
the planets move around in an oval shape around the sun there are 2 ways they do that
1.the revolution around the sun
2.spinning around
if a planet goes around the sun then that's called a revolution it takes 365 days (1 year) for the earth to go around the sun
if a planet spins around that is 1 day it takes 24 hours (1 day) for earth to spin around
some planets take longer to go around the sun and some go faster than the earth
Is saturn in an orbit with another solar body?
Yes, Saturn is in orbit around the Sun, like all the other planets in our solar system. It does not share its orbit with another specific solar body, but it does interact gravitationally with other planets and objects in the solar system.
Why does a persons weight decrease on the Moon?
A person's weight decreases on the Moon due to its lower gravity compared to Earth. The Moon's gravity is about 1/6th that of Earth, so a person weighs less because there is less gravitational pull on their body.
The solar system began around 4.6 billion years ago from a swirling cloud of gas and dust known as the solar nebula. Gravity caused the material in the nebula to collapse and form a spinning disk, with the Sun forming at the center and the planets coalescing from the leftover material in the disk.
Do the moons of Saturn orbit Saturn on the Rings of Saturn?
No, the moons of Saturn do not orbit on the rings of Saturn. The moons orbit around Saturn in separate paths. The rings of Saturn are made up of small particles of ice and rock that orbit around Saturn along a flat plane.
How old is the solar system in scientific notation?
The age of the solar system is estimated to be about 4.6 x 10^9 years.
How does the International Astronomical Union classify solar system objects?
They determine if the object :

What planet is the second smallest of the inner planets?
Mars is the second smallest of the inner planets in our solar system, with a diameter of about 4,200 miles.
What happened to the matter at the center of the nebula?
Our solar system began forming within a concentration of interstellar dust and hydrogen gas called a molecular cloud. The cloud contracted under its own gravity and our proto-Sun formed in the hot dense center called solar nebula
