SUMMARY

This forum discussion centers on a high school student's request for comprehensive information about the nine planets in the solar system. Key inquiries include the velocity of planets around the sun, their distances from the sun, the shape of their orbits, and sources for visual representations. Respondents recommend using Wikipedia for detailed planetary data and Google for additional resources, emphasizing the importance of personal research effort. The conversation also notes that Pluto is classified as a dwarf planet, reducing the count of recognized planets in the solar system.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of planetary science
  • Familiarity with astronomical terms such as "orbit" and "velocity"
  • Ability to navigate online resources like Wikipedia and Google
  • Knowledge of the current classification of celestial bodies in the solar system
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the orbital velocities of each planet using NASA's Planetary Fact Sheets
  • Explore the distances of planets from the sun through the Solar System Dynamics Group resources
  • Learn about the shape of planetary orbits by studying Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion
  • Utilize online tools like Stellarium for visualizing planetary orbits
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for high school students, educators in astronomy, and anyone seeking to understand the dynamics of the solar system's planets.

may you help me PLZ ?? Qs

hi all ... this is my first post in this great forum ..

i'm student in high school


and i was wondering if u can help me in my research ..

i need in my research some full information in [the 9 planets] ..

for example ..
-how much velocity do the Earth circle around the sun? << or any planet in km\h
-how far is the planet from the sun? << in meters
-planet's orbit shape?? << is it circle or what .. ?
-how many (km) does the planet circle around the sun?
-is there any site provides this information(with graph or without) for me?
-how can I imagine the shape of planet's orbit ? << I think I need graph !






i need any source that could help me !?
and please ... my research isn't for the Earth "only" but in the all nine planets so i need this
information for all of them (the nine planets) ...



thank u at the end ,,,

Hello there, welcome to PF:
First of all, this probably belongs to HW section.
Second of all, as far as I know its your homework, your research. Youre basically asking other people to do it for you without showing any effort put it whatsoever. (Not even please, just some mutated form... please or pls or what do I know.)

But hey, youre new! Ill give you an advice: Go to www.wikipedia.org[/url]. (as mgb mentioned) Write name of your planet (example mars) and you have almost all information needed on single page, infact in a single box on the right hand side of the page. If you feel like you need more information there is another interesting address: [url]www.google.com[/URL]! Write name of your planet, perhaps add *shape of orbit* or something if needed, and voila, you get tonnes of information.
So /shoo and good luck with your research!

Tachyon.

Unfortunately, our solar system is no longer composed of nine planets. Pluto is now considered a dwarf planet...
