i need informations about the 3 new planets of the solar system?

We Answered:

The inner two planets appear to be made mainly of rock -- like Earth -- while the third may have an envelope of gas around a core of rock and ice, the astronomers say.

You can find more information about it at the link below.

Antonio Said:

Do the other 8 planets in this solar system get a lot more meteor impacts than earth?

We Answered:

Not all, at least not Venus.
Mercury gets hit because it has no atmosphere, and meteors just fly down.
Venus is not likely to get hit because of its dense atmosphere, any object attracted by the planet will turn into ash in seconds before hitting the ground.
Earth gets hit normally like Venus, but Seldom, these asteroids are big enough to cause disasters. While meteor showers happen frequently with only few rocks pass by down.
Mars gets a lot of hits since it is right next to the asteroid belt, it has no thick atmosphere to prevent the impact, so asteroids just blast down and create these big craters you see from space.
Jupiter is the most planet in the solar system that is hit by asteroids and meteors. Since it is the largest planet, then it will attract more objects.Without Jupiter in the solar system, Earth would have been a Mars by now. any object passing by is taken into the Jupiter doom hole.
Saturn is just like Jupiter, but hits aren't very frequent because it is too far away from the asteroid belt.
Uranus is the same as Saturn and Jupiter.
Neptune gets more hits than Uranus and Saturn because it is closer to the Kuiper belt.
Pluto gets hit just like Mercury. Asteroids bombard the planet every second from the Kuiper belt.
Other Kuiper belt dwarf planets get hit just like Pluto.
