Any model of the origin of the solar system must explain why all the planets orbit the Sun in the same direction and in nearly the same plane. One model that wasdevisedexplicitly to address this issue was the tidal hypothesis, proposed in the early 1900s.Two nearby planets, stars,...
You could go by the ancient meaning of the word. Planetes means “wanderers” in ancient Greek, referring to the fact that as the planets and Earth orbit the sun, those dots of light in the sky appear to move relative to the background stars. This meaning, then, would also include the...
Younger generations are learning that there are only eight planets which orbit the sun. ( Pluto is no longer considered a planet because it's too small. Nowit's called a "dwarf planet.") What will the next generation learn?[B] Scientists are discovering more about our solar system. But ...

According to Kepler's first law, all objects orbit the sun in elliptical paths. The orbits of the planets, except for Pluto, are almost circular, and so are those of asteroids and icy objects in the Kuiper belt, which is just beyond the orbit of Neptune. Comets that originate in the Ku...
Watch a distant planet's vast orbit in spectacular time-lapse Scientists don't know what these mysterious planets are made of NASA thinks space is teeming with planets that have gone rogue Cheops confirmed the orbital period of the third planet in the star system, the key to figuring out the...
the manner in which the planets orbit the Sun. Both concluded that the arrangement of the orbits-all in the same direction and in nearly the same plane—could not be a mere coincidence. To explain the orbits, Kant and Laplace independently proposed that our entire solar system, including the...

The baby planets orbit, they collect more pieces from the disk and grow into the planets we know. As time goes on, the planets get heated up and change inside. The sun's energy makes a breeze that blows away leftover gas, showing us the planets, moons, asteroids and comets. The Sun...
1. The planets orbit about the Sun in elliptical orbits with the sun centered at one of the ellipse's two foci (Figure 1). 2. An imaginary line connecting the sun and a planet sweeps out equal areas in equal times as the planet moves through its orbit. A consequence of this is tha...
