Planets in our solar system

starpress12 · 17/04/14 - 23:21

Starting from the nearest to the Sun, Mercury, Venus, the moon, Earth (us), mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Apart from the moon and Mars I am fascinated by the other planets that have never been visited by us or any of our satellites from what I know of anyway, To think what lies on say the furthest planet away from us Pluto is fascinating to even imagine what is even going on there at the beyond not to mention beyond that planet, what else lurks out there, same as travelling in the other direction, going past the Sun wonder what lies behind it

Pluto isn't a planet.

Many failures by the OP. Grade D- must try harder.

The moon is the earth's moon, it revolves around the earth therefore it should not be in the order list. Other planets also have moons. The otherside of the sun are the planets of the solar system as we all circle the sun on individual journeys.

If we are going to pick the OP apart, then Jupiter should really come before Saturn in the list.

..and then there's that!

It must be weird to be on the dark side of the sun.

I want to know what he has against the Moon and Mars.

we go round the sun (orbit), as do the other planets, at different speeds. so we know what is the other side the sun, we r there for 6months at a time. the only exeption beings things like rocks, meteors etc which get hidden due to their small size.

pluto was downgraded from planet status to something like planetoid or dwarf planet not really due to its small size (similar to the planet mercury) but more to its odd orbit which comes inside the orbit of neptune from time to time. so people think it might be a rouque rock from the left over asteroids which just ended up circling the sun. but it does have 2 tiny moons of its own, which might suggest its a bit more important than we thought-pluto might get its planet status back.

Not our solar system but interesting anyway.

It still is in our hearts...:)
I mean being told you're not a planet must have really hurt.

OP some of the moons of the gas giants hold must interest for me.

can I not post a thread without being torn apart all the time, its a discussion thread, it doesn't mean I have to have full knowledge of everything. We are here to share our thoughts with other readers, no need for bitchiness >:(

Well I wrote the computer software for a spacecraft that landed on Titan a moon of Saturn. I find it hard to believe that you have no knowledge of the spacecraft that have been to Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Pluto will be visited soon.

It supposedly took days to get to the moon in a really fast spaceship - yet, magically, the pictures from there arrive straightaway.

....... we're not stupid.

I get the distinct impression I am being trolled.....
