Answers
Answer:
Explanation:1) The Sun, the Moon, the planets, and the stars all rise in the east and set in the west. And that's because Earth spins -- toward the east. ... Earth rotates or spins toward the east, and that's why the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars all rise in the east and make their way westward across the sky.
2) Most agree that Neptune is the coldest planet due to its proximity to the sun. The sun produces most of the heat that helps planets regulate their temperatures. Neptune is so far away from the sun that it does not get enough heat to melt the ice caps that form on the planet.
3) The Moon does not rotate. The Moon does spin on its axis, completing a rotation once every 27.3 days; the confusion is caused because it also takes the same period to orbit the Earth, so that it keeps the same side facing us.
4) a)Earth and Dwarf planet
So the similarity of the planets and the dwarf planets are they are both mostly round because they have sufficient gravity to flatten their own surfaces into a sphere. The differences are that planets are big enough to clear the whole region of space where they orbit the sun whereas dwarf planets are not.
b) Planet and star
Planets and stars are both observable to the human eye. Stars are just easier to see because they are so bright. Stars are large collections of gas that have huge pressures like a furnace at their core, whereas planets can be large but lack the same immense pressures.
