The scale of the Solar System: planets, distances of planets from the Sun, and the first flybys of planets. The First Flybys of Planets Mercury: Mariner 10 (NASA), March 29, 1974. Mariner 10 was a robotic space probe launched by NASA on November 3, 1973, to fly by the planets Me...
Earth’s distance from the Sun, physical properties, and geological history have allowed life to evolve and exist on Earth. There are several million species of life on our planet with scientists believing there are more species that have yet to be discovered. Diameter:7,926 miles (12,760 km...
Other articles where true anomaly is discussed: anomaly: True anomaly is the angle, V, between lines drawn from the centre of mass (near the centre of the Sun, S), to a planet P, and to the perihelion point B, where the planet comes closest to the Sun. T

Pluto so that the two planets remain in orbits that cross, Pluto has not cleared its own orbit and was therefore demoted from planet status to that of a newly created category,dwarf planet.Like a planet, a dwarf planet orbits the sun, is large enough to assume a nearly round shape, and...
Tables of facts / information on all the Planets and Dwarf Planets of our Solar System. Planets are listed in order from the Sun.
The planets all orbit the Sun in the same direction in nearly coplanar, nearly circular orbits. The Sun and most planets rotate about their axes in the same direction as the orbital motion, and the masses and compositions of the planets and satellites are correlated with distance from the Sun...
1. one of the giant planets the sixth planet from the sun, around which revolve planar concentric rings (Saturn's rings) consisting of small frozen particles. The planet has at least 30 satellites. Mean distance from sun: 1425 million km; period of revolution around sun: 29.41 years; period...
