Question

Explore and write 10 interesting facts about our solar system​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. While many of us were taught in school that Saturn had amazing rings, made up of small rocks, ice and other particles, there are actually several other planets that also have rings around them. In fact, all of the larger planets in the solar system have been found to have rings. This is true of Jupiter—whose rings cannot be seen from our planet—as well as Neptune. Even Uranus has nine bright rings around it, as well as a few fainter ones—but all of these are difficult to see, due to the distance.
2. The gravity on the moon, due to its small mass, is much less than what we experience on Earth. For comparison, the gravity on Earth is about six times stronger. This essentially means that you could jump roughly six times higher than you can on Earth. This would no doubt take a lot of getting used to.
3. The sun is, of course, the most important part of our solar system. Even though this brilliant ball of gas gives us light, heat, and energy—and pretty much makes everything work—it’s sometimes easy to forget just how mind-bogglingly enormous our sun actually is. The sun makes up over ninety-nine percent of all of the mass in our entire solar system. Jupiter and some of the other large planets make up most of the rest, and Earth barely even registers in the equation.
4. Uranus is known mainly for having the most unfortunate name of any heavenly body, and this has led to a plethora of terrible sophomoric jokes. But there is much more to this planet than its name. Uranus has an orbital tilt of eighty-two degrees, which means that it is practically on its side. The effect of this is that a season on Uranus lasts about twenty earth years, and causes all sorts of odd weather.
5. Strangely enough, however, Pluto’s status had been in question for roughly thirty years—this just wasn’t mentioned very often outside of the academic circles of astronomers who researched it. Also, Pluto is actually much smaller than you might imagine. Nearly one hundred and seventy Plutos could fill the same space as the Earth.
6. Venus, on the other hand, has a notoriously thick atmosphere that traps the heat created by the sun. Interestingly, Venus is also quite the black sheep of the planet world, and spins in the opposite direction.
7. While we have all seen many movies that feature asteroids, some may not realize that our solar system contains both a major asteroid belt located between Jupiter and Mars, as well as smaller asteroids grouped throughout the solar system—some of them fairly close to Earth. But the movies were wrong on some crucial details: though they depict spaceships dodging and weaving between huge rocks to avoid being hit, the truth is that asteroids are usually spaced so far apart that it is not really a concern at all.
8. There are actually five dwarf planets in our solar system; one of them is the recently reclassified Pluto. The other four are Ceres, Eris, Haumea, and Makemake.
9. The reason for this is that Jupiter’s huge size and gravitational pull act as a protective barrier that shields the earth from space debris, pulling dangerous objects into its own orbit before they can reach us. One Frenchman named Pierre-Simon Laplace discovered a comet which appeared to be heading towards earth, but which got caught in Jupiter’s gravitational field, and was completely removed from the solar system.
