The planet PLUTO has a satellite named 'CHARON' . Pronounced 'Karon'.

Neither Mercury nor Venus have natural satellites(moons).

All the planets 'tilt over' to some degree.. However, Uranus has tilted so far over, that its Northern axis is now in its Southern plane.

The Earth has a tilt of some 23 degrees. It gives us our seasons. With respect to Earth this tile can vary between 21 degree and 28 degrees. Currently it is decreasing from 23 degrees to 21 degrees. However, it will take thousands of years to complete this movement, but it does affect climate change.

If you have a 'gyro' or a child's spinning top , set the object spinning and notice ; -

#1 It wobbles (precesses)

#2 The point of contact with axis and its support ( table/floor) moves in an elliptical manner.

The Earth and the other planets do exactly the same, over thousands of years.

In the Solar System , Jupiter is the most massive planet, followed by Saturn.

Earth is miniscule by comparison.

During a tota lunar eclipse the Moon is in the Earth;s SHADOW.

In a straight line in space, it is The SUN, the Earth, & the Moon.

In a total solar eclipse, the straight line is The Sun, The Moon , & the Earth.

Notice in the straight line , the Earth & the Moon 'swop' places.

the equator I don't think its the equator, which runs east/west. How about the prime maridian

Sun chips, sunny d, sunflower seeds, sun maid raisins...can anyone think of more?

What begins the process of solar system formation?

One modern myth was written by a man named Velikovsky. In this myth Venus sprung out of Jupiter, bounced around the solar system a few thousand years--bumping into both Mars and Earth, and finally settling into the least eccentric orbit of any of the planets--several thousand years ago.

The sun does not stay up continuously for an extended period of time. In regions experiencing midnight sun during summer solstice, the sun may be visible for 24 hours a day, but this phenomenon is limited to polar regions and lasts for a few days at most.

On August 4, 2009, the bright star Regulus was visible next to the Moon in the evening sky. Regulus is the brightest star in the Leo constellation and can often be seen near the Moon during its monthly journey across the sky.

On the equinox, the sun rises due east and sets due west. This happens because the Earth's axis is tilted neither towards nor away from the sun, resulting in equal day and night lengths.

In the context of astronomy, rotation and revolution are rather specific. Rotation refers to the spin on the axis, for example, a day on Earth. Revolution refers to the orbit around the primary, for example, the slightly elliptical path the Earth takes around the Sun each year.

The temperatures of planets vary widely depending on factors like their distance from the Sun, atmosphere composition, and surface properties. For instance:

• Mercury: Daytime temperatures can reach up to 800°F (430°C) due to its proximity to the Sun.

• Venus: Its thick atmosphere traps heat, resulting in surface temperatures around 880°F (471°C), making it the hottest planet in our solar system.

• Earth: Temperatures vary greatly depending on location, but the average surface temperature is about 59°F (15°C).

• Mars: Temperatures can range from about -195°F (-125°C) at the poles to about 70°F (20°C) in equatorial regions during the summer.

• Jupiter: Its upper atmosphere is around -145°F (-100°C), while deeper down, the pressure and temperature rise dramatically.

• Saturn: Similar to Jupiter, temperatures vary widely, but its upper atmosphere is around -178°F (-118°C).

• Uranus and Neptune: Being outer planets, temperatures are much colder, ranging from around -320°F (-195°C) to -370°F (-224°C).

These temperatures are approximate and can vary depending on specific conditions.

Mars, often called the "Red Planet," is the fourth planet from the Sun in our solar system. It's known for its reddish appearance due to iron oxide (rust) on its surface. Here's a brief overview:

1. **Physical Characteristics**: Mars has a thin atmosphere composed mostly of carbon dioxide. It has polar ice caps, which consist of water and frozen carbon dioxide. The planet has diverse terrain, including mountains, valleys, and vast plains.

2. **Moons**: Mars has two small moons, Phobos and Deimos, which are irregularly shaped and likely captured asteroids.

3. **Exploration**: Mars has been the subject of numerous space missions. Notable ones include the Viking missions in the 1970s, the Mars rovers Spirit, Opportunity, and Curiosity, and more recent missions like NASA's Perseverance rover.

4. **Potential for Life**: Mars is a prime target for the search for past or present life beyond Earth. Evidence suggests that liquid water existed on its surface in the past, and there are regions where it may still exist underground.

5. **Future Missions**: Several space agencies and private companies have plans for future missions to Mars, including crewed missions. These missions aim to further explore the planet, study its geology, and potentially prepare for human settlement.

6. **Challenges**: Mars exploration poses numerous challenges, including the harsh environment, distance from Earth, and the need for advanced technology to support human life.

Overall, Mars continues to captivate the imagination of scientists and space enthusiasts alike as humanity explores the possibilities of reaching and even colonizing the Red Planet.

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun in our solar system, so it's not the biggest, second biggest, or third biggest planet. The biggest planet is Jupiter, followed by Saturn (second biggest), and then Uranus and Neptune (third and fourth biggest respectively), before we get to Mars.

Jupiter is typically the fourth brightest planet in our solar system, after Venus, Mars, and sometimes Mercury.

The Sun has a diameter of 1.392 x 10^6 Km which is about 109 times larger than the Earth.

You could fit about 1,300,000 Earths inside the Sun.

The Sun is an average sized star. In comparison to the largest star [See related question] our Sun is small in comparison.
