Question

:A. Planets orbit the Sun in random directions.

B. The orbits of the planets are evenly distributed in distance from the Sun.

C. All planets orbit the Sun in the same direction.

D. The closest planets to the Sun are much smaller than the planets that are farther away.

E. All planets orbit the Sun in a roughly flat plane.F. The size of all planets increases with distance from the Sun.

G. All planets orbit the Sun in a spherical distribution.

H. The orbits of the outer planets (those most distant from the Sun) are spaced farther apart from one another than the orbits of the inner planets.

Explanation / Answer

A:Planets orbit the sun in random directions.(false)

Except Venus and Uranus all the planets rotates in the counterclockwise direction. For Venus,this odd rotation is due to an early planetary impact in its history.

B:The orbits of the planets are evenly distributed in distance from the Sun.(true)

All the planets are almost 1.4-1.8 further distant with respect to the distance of its inner neighbour planet.

C. All planets orbit the Sun in the same direction.(false)

Previously discussed.

D. The closest planets to the Sun are much smaller than the planets that are farther away.(true)

Mercury is closest to the sun and is the smallest one.

E. All planets orbit the Sun in a roughly flat plane.(true)

.F. The size of all planets increases with distance from the Sun.(false)

Yes. The size increases,but it also decreases after Jupiter. This is the largest one in the system.

G. All planets orbit the Sun in a spherical distribution.(false)

The orbit of the planets are elliptical.

H. The orbits of the outer planets (those most distant from the Sun) are spaced farther apart from one another than the orbits of the inner planets.(false)
