of the retinue of objects that orbit the Sun‚ most of the mass is contained within eight (8) relatively solitary planets whose orbits are almost circular and contained within a nearly-flat disc called the ecliptic plane. The four smaller inner planets; Mercury‚ Venus‚ Earth and Mars‚ also called the terrestrial planets‚ are primarily composed of rock and metal. The four outer planets‚ Jupiter‚ Saturn‚ Uranus and Neptune‚ also called the gas giants‚ are composed largely of hydrogen and helium and

Uranus is the seventh planet from the sun in the solar system. Uranus is described as "rolling around the sun on its side" because it’s tipped over on its side with an axil tilt of 98 degrees. It is not clear to the naked eye‚ and it became the first planet to be seen through a telescope. It was discovered on March 13‚ 1781 by William Herschel. It has 27 moons and 13 rings. Uranus is known as the "ice giant" because it has a hydrogen upper layer and helium is mixed in it. Below is an

theories that emerged before the 18th century concerning the formation of the solar system. Solar disruption theory states that the collision of the sun with another stars caused debris to be ejected from its mass and these debris eventually became the planets. This theory was later discarded for the nebula theory of solar system formation. However there are some scientists that propose that it has some merit. The big question up until the 18th century was how the solar system was born. There were many

The Sun (Star of the Family) Planet word comes from Greek ‚which means „wandering star“. Sun is the heaviest among Solar System. If we take total mass of whole Solar System‚ the Sun would be 99.86% of the total. Sun is a ball of hot‚burning gases. Sun is the nearest star to the Earth. Sun is the source of all energy for life on Earth. On the Sun’s surface‚ there are dark patches known as sunspots. These are patches of gas that looks dark since they are cooler than their surroundings. The light

simple sun-planet system. The planet is rapidly rotating around the sun‚ while the sun is slowly revolving around its own centralized location. Specifically‚ what happens to the central object (the Sun)? It slowly revolves around its own central point. Can you explain why the central object moves? I would say that it is from gravitational pull. Everything has its own gravity. Everything exerts a pulling force on everything else. Thus‚ the sun exerts a force within the planet causing
