Question

briefly describe the eight planet and their satellite

​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Solar System consists of the eight planets that orbit our Sun and other celestial bodies such as moons, comets, asteroids, minor planets, and dust and gas. Sun is considered as the centre of the solar system and all the planets revolve around the sun. The Sun is the ultimate source of heat and light energy for whole of the solar system.The Solar System consists of the eight planets that orbit our Sun and other celestial bodies such as moons, comets, asteroids, minor planets, and dust and gas. Sun is considered as the centre of the solar system and all the planets revolve around the sun. The Sun is the ultimate source of heat and light energy for whole of the solar system. The whole of the solar system is bound together by the gravitational pull of the sun. The Solar System formed 4.6 billion years ago from the gravitational collapse of a giant interstellar molecular cloud.The eight planets in the solar system in the increasing order of their distance from the Sun are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Out of these eight planets the first four are known as inner or terrestrial plants while the later four being the outer or giant planets. The last two planets i.e. the Uranus and Neptune are composed mostly of substances with relatively high melting points compared with hydrogen and helium, called ices, such as water, ammonia and methane. However, out of all the planets of solar system, only earth has been found to have conditions suitable for life. Earlier there were nine planets in the solar system including Pluto, However, international Astronomy Union removed Pluto from the list of planets and labeled it as the Dwarf planet due to the small size of Pluto in comparison to the other existing planets of our solar system. These planets and other celestial bodies revolve around the sun. However, there are other objects which revolve around these planets which are known as Satellites.

Answer 2

This is easy as pie. The planets, according to their distance from the sun are - Mercury, Venus, Our own Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Some people say that Pluto's also a planet but I'm not entirely sure about it. It was declared as a 'Dwarf Planet' in a meeting of the International Astronomical Union (IAU) In 2006.

Now for the satellites. First of all, Mercury and Venus don't have any natural sateelites. Our Earth has the Moon. Mars it's two natural satellites - Phobos and Deimos. Jupiter has about 60 moons, although some say there are only about 11 of rhem. Jupiters important moons or Galilean Moons are - Europa, Ganymede, , Io and Himalia (NOT HIMALAYA!). Saturn has about 50. Titan is the largest. Some of the known moons of Saturn are Enceladus, Dione, Tethis etc. Uranus has about 60 too. Neptune has like about 30. Pluto has 5- Charon, Nix, Styx, Hydra and Kerberos.
