What is the 11th planet called?
Haumea
Is there 8 or 9 planets?
There are eight planets in the solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Pluto was demoted from its planetary status in 2006 when a body of scientists decided a formalized definition for the term “planet.”

| 2. Mercury | 167 |
| 3. Earth | 15 |
| 4. Mars | -65 |
Which planet has the highest eccentricity?
Mercury
Which planet has the most eccentric orbit in our solar system?
Why is Venus so bright now?
How best we see Venus depends on its position relative to Earth and the Sun. Venus has an albedo of 0.7, which means that it reflects about 70 per cent of the sunlight that falls on it. So, that’s why Venus is shining so brightly at the moment, and it makes for wonderful viewing in the evening sky.
Does it rain on Pluto?
Although it doesn’t rain on Pluto, various moons and planets throughout the solar system experience their own forms of precipitation. Jupiter’s moon, Io, has sulfur dioxide snow, and dry ice snow falls on Mars. Crystallized carbon falls like tiny diamonds of snow on Uranus and Neptune.
How cold is the coldest planet?
Neptune is the coldest planet in the universe and sees temperatures of below -210 degrees Celsius.
Is Earth’s eccentricity low?
Currently, Earth’s eccentricity is near its least elliptic (most circular) and is very slowly decreasing, in a cycle that spans about 100,000 years. The total change in global annual insolation due to the eccentricity cycle is very small.
Can we live on Pluto?
It is irrelevant that Pluto’s surface temperature is extremely low, because any internal ocean would be warm enough for life. This could not be life depending on sunlight for its energy, like most life on Earth, and it would have to survive on the probably very meagre chemical energy available within Pluto.
What if a planet hit the sun?
If the planet somehow survived and punched its way to the centre of the Sun, then much less energy would be deposited in the convection zone and the effects would be lessened. On longer timescales the Sun would settle back down to the main sequence, with a radius and luminosity only slightly bigger than it was before.
