Planets
From a planet with a hexagonal storm to the home of the Solar System's largest volcano, our neighbouring bodies are unique and fascinating places.Where else would you find somewhere with days longer than its years?Humanity's understanding of planets has changed drastically since ancient times when early astronomers mistook the lights they saw in the sky for wandering stars.We've come a long way since then, but there's still so much we don't know. Could there be life on Mars? How many planets exist outside the Solar System? Is there another 'Earth' out there? And why can't we call Pluto a planet anymore? Discover more in this essential guide to planets in the Solar System and beyond by astronomer Dr Emily Drabek-Maunder of Royal Observatory Greenwich.

Why are the inner planets rocky planets and the outer planets gas planets?
The inner planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, are rocky planets because they formed closer to the sun where it was hotter. The intense heat caused lighter elements like hydrogen and helium to be blown away, leaving behind heavier elements like rock and metal. In contrast, the outer planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, are gas planets because they formed farther from the sun where it was cooler. This allowed lighter elements to remain in their atmospheres, creating their gas giant composition.
-
Are stars planets?
No, stars are not planets. Stars are massive celestial bodies that produce light and heat through nuclear fusion, while planets are smaller celestial bodies that orbit around stars. Stars are much larger and hotter than planets, and they are the primary sources of light and energy in a solar system.
-
Are these planets?
No, the objects in the image are not planets. They appear to be moons or satellites orbiting a larger celestial body. Planets are celestial bodies that orbit a star, such as our sun, whereas moons are natural satellites that orbit planets.
-
Why do gas planets have more moons than rocky planets?
Gas planets have more moons than rocky planets because their larger size and stronger gravitational pull allow them to capture and retain more moons. Additionally, gas planets are formed further from the sun where there is more material available for moon formation. The presence of a thick atmosphere on gas planets also helps in capturing passing objects and turning them into moons.

Why are planets with life forms better than planets without?
Planets with life forms are better than planets without because they offer the potential for diverse ecosystems, which can contribute to the overall health and balance of the planet. Life forms also have the ability to adapt and evolve, making the planet more resilient to changes in the environment. Additionally, the presence of life forms can lead to the development of complex and intricate relationships within the ecosystem, enhancing the overall biodiversity and beauty of the planet.

What is the difference between gas planets and rocky planets?
Gas planets, such as Jupiter and Saturn, are primarily composed of gases like hydrogen and helium, with a small rocky core at their center. They have thick atmospheres and lack a solid surface. In contrast, rocky planets, like Earth and Mars, are primarily composed of solid materials such as rock and metal. They have a defined solid surface and a much thinner atmosphere compared to gas planets.

What are square planets?
Square planets are a hypothetical concept in astronomy that refers to the idea of planets having a square shape instead of the traditional spherical shape. This concept is purely theoretical and not based on any scientific evidence. In reality, planets are formed through gravitational forces and take on a spherical shape due to their own gravity pulling them into a balanced, round form. The idea of square planets is often used in science fiction and speculative discussions about the nature of celestial bodies.

'Life on other planets?'
The possibility of life on other planets is a topic of great interest and speculation in the scientific community. While there is no definitive evidence of extraterrestrial life, the vastness of the universe and the discovery of potentially habitable exoplanets suggest that it is a possibility. Scientists continue to search for signs of life beyond Earth through missions to Mars, the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, and the analysis of data from telescopes and space probes. The search for extraterrestrial life remains an exciting and ongoing area of research in the field of astrobiology.
