Which planet has the longest day?
Which planet has the longest year?
Explain why the outer planets have a lower density than the inner planets.

Answer 1

Answer:

1. The two neighboring planets with the greatest distance between them is Neptune and Uranus. This happens when they are at the opposite sides of the Sun at approximately. They are 4500 million miles away from each other.
2. Mercury and Venus are the two planets which have the smallest distance between them
3. Yes, it is true that there is somewhat of a pattern to the distances of the planets from the Sun. Venus is 1.8 times as far from the Sun as Mercury, and Earth is about 1.4 times as far from the sun as Venus. Mars is 1.5 times farther than Earth.
4. Option 2: A Table
5. Planet Day Length
6. Venus 5,832 hours
7. Earth 24 hours
8. Mars 25 hours
9. Jupiter 10 hours
10. A planet's density is related to its composition. The four inner terrestrial planets are dense compared to the four outer planets. The inner planets are made up mainly of dense, solid rock. The outer planets are composed primarily of gas, so their overall density is lower.
