solar systemThis document is part of Subvolume B 'Solar System' of Volume 4 'Astronomy, Astrophysics, and Cosmology' of Landolt-Brnstein - Group VI 'Astronomy and Astrophysics'. It contains: 4.2.4.1 Rotation, radii, shapes, gravity fields 4.2.4.2 Giant planet atmospheres 4.2.4.3 Interior ...
They are characterized by relatively small masses and radii, and large densities in comparison to the giant planets of the outer solar system. Measurements of rotation and gravitational and magnetic fields indicate that the interiors of these bodies, like the interior of the Earth, are chemically ...
This view is simplified in that the orbits are not shown to scale. This is because if the orbits were to scale it would be hard to see the planets clearly because the inner planets are bunched up really close to the sun when compared to the widely spread outer planets. This also means...
This is one theory as to why the gas giants became so large, and why there is a divide in planet size between the small inner rocky planets and the outer gas giants.As time continued, the workings of gravity and the solar wind eventually resulted in the solar system becoming as we know...
2. The outer solar system Beyond the asteroid belt are the gas and ice giants: Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune These planets are much larger and mostly composed of hydrogen, helium, and ices like water, methane, and ammonia. They also have extensive systems of rings and moons. ...
以lack of gases and ices做关键词定位至倒数第二句，这句话只是单纯说现象，最后一句才是解释，而且这句话刚才已经讲过，说由于距离太阳近，类地行星最终失去了这些气态物质，所以答案是A。其余答案均与本段首句说反。

The Inner Solar System The inner solar system is the name of the terrestrial planets and asteroid belt.Terrestrial is just a fancy way of saying rocky. Like the Earth, terrestrial planets have a core of iron and rock.At the centre of the solar system is the Sun. The Sun is a big ball...
But what about those gas planets in the outer solar system, in the outer accretion disk? Well, the first theory says the accretion process was similar to the one that formed the rocky planets, with some key differences. Remember, the gas giants are farther from the sun, where temperatures ...
Outer planet frontier of geoscience Space exploration has expanded the realm of geoscience to the outermost Solar System. A new generation of missions shines the way. Editorial13 Jan 2025 Nature Geoscience Volume: 18, P: 1 Voyager 2 observed Uranus’s magnetosphere in a rare, compressed state...
