Facts On Solar System

Ted Said:

I need stupid facts on all the planets in the solar system.?

We Answered:

How about intersting facts?

I never really spend a lot of time looking for stupid ones.

Just click on the planet, and if you wish, any of the tabs within any of the planet pages, and enjoy!

How do you feel about dropping Pluto from our solar system?

We Answered:

One has to ask the question "Who makes the rules about what constitutes a planet?" I know that I do not have a vote. It does not matter what we call it anyway because there are no consequences either way. There are no consequences because we can change our minds any time we want. It's kind of like the boxing world(s). There are several worlds according to boxing and their championships. Same deal. Some will always say Pluto is a planet and some will say it is not. I think it is a planet for no other reason than it looks to me like one.

Stacy Said:

How does the gravity hold the solar system together?

We Answered:

Sounds like this is for a class, but conceptually space is a giant rubber sheet. The Sun has 99.8% of the mass of the entire system so it bends the rubber sheet so much that all the 8 planets, 5 dwarf planets, hundreds of moons and asteroids are all caught in the bend caused by the Sun.

It is being caught in the bend of the Sun that keeps the planets from flying off into the distance.

All objects in space physically bend the space. The more massive an object becomes, the more it bends space, hence the stronger it's gravity.

Eva Said:

Is it true that there is another solar system out of this we know?

We Answered:

Basically the Space was explored to the extent to which man can so beyond that there are several GALAXIES are there in that there are several suns will be there and there are several solar system will be there.

Craig Said:

Any ideas for my science project on the solar system?

We Answered:

use wiki for all your information.

its a bit to read through, but you can get some good idea's here and there.

this picture strip of the solar system near the very bottom of the page is clickable.
meaning you can click on objects in the system and it will give you each of their pages.

I'd build it on the computer.
