2 different planets??????

I guess since George is the Father of Our Country he could put them over his knee...

Some planets are too hot for water, some are too cold. The larger planets are made from methane and other gases.

why don't u ask this question to our planet?it must give u the right answer,i asked it and it said its name was earth but u should ask it once more,in case it has changed its name from earth to something else..................like sun.

Our solar system is not the only solar system in the universe.  There are hundreds and thousands and millions of other planets in the universe, and many are just like ours, but we don't know about them because we have never been able to get anything further than pluto to get a good specific picture of stuff.  In a general picture, though, we do know there are other galaxies in the universe

First of all, it is not galaxy you are talking about, it is solar system. Secondly, a lot of people here are saying why ask such a stupid question. What most of them probably don't know is that while pluto is the smallest of our "officially classified" planets it has come to light in recent months that we may have more planets. \n\nThe debate has been raging on in the space exploration community that recently discovered bodies past pluto may actually be planets in our system as well. They are also saying they may take pluto off the official planet list because it is looking more and more like a captured asteroid compared to these new planets.\n\nFor those who want to read more about these new planets, do a search for the planet Xena (which is the temporary code name for the new planet). \n\nIn short, Pluto is "currently" the right answer but if it is removed from the list, then mercury will be the smallest planet.\n\nHope this helps!

Let's consider the possibilities and address them one at a time.\n\n1) There is a large planet on the opposite side of the sun from Earth.\n\nThis has been proven not to be the case. Such a planet would cause the other planet's orbits to "wobble" in ways that have not been observed and besides, none of the probes which have been sent to other planets has observed any planets "hidden" behind the sun.\n\n2) There is a large planet in the outer reaches of the sun's gravitational field.\n\nWhile this is in fact a possibility, it is highly unlikely. Typically when "solar" systems are formed, the distribution of the planet sizes follows a roughly gaussian distribution, with the larger planets in a huddle (in our case, Jupiter, Saturn and to a lesser extent Uranus and Neptune). If there was a large planet in our solar system out beyond Pluto, it would be difficult to see, however there would be no other stars near enough to pull it away from the sun. It may, for example be hidden by the sun, but so far away that no "telescopes" on probes are powerful enough to see it (refer to option 1 above).\n\n3) There is a large planet made of anti-matter in the inner solar system (closer to the sun than Pluto) which we cannot see.\n\nThis is not possible. The visible planetary orbits would be perturbed, and we don't observe that.\n\n4) I have run out of options.\n\nThis is VERY possible!\n\nSo, there you have it. Make up your own mind.

Yes, the planets go through phases. Celestial phases are basically light hitting different hemispheres at different times.

yes of course it matters to me .it belonged to our solar system for so long and now the scientists have thrown it away because it does not satisfy their definition of planets???\nit is very disheartening to say that our family now consists of 8 planets only.

what? further than the earth in relation to the sun, would be mars. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and one we cant quite see yet.\nI'm not sure i understand your ?, but i hope this helps. sometime pluto comes closer than neptune, because of the orbits. click on this link, then scole down the page it brings you to.\nhttp://www.sciencemonster.com/planets.html

Simple way to look at this perinnial question. One solar system. One planet like earth froms. Sustains life. Universe is filled with billions of stars. Some the size of our Sun. Some have planets revolving round them. Like earth too. Take a wild guess and u wont be wrong. \n;-)

Not universal, just planetary.

Nah, probably not like this. Very probable that there's a planet with intelligent life though.

A 10th planet has recently been found in our Solar System. It's designation right now is UB313. Check out the following website for more information:\n\nhttp://channels.isp.netscape.com/news/story.jsp?idq=/ff/story/0001/20060201/1301968801.htm&ewp=ewp_news_0106planet&floc=NI-slot1a

most probably.. life of other planets is probably totally different from that of our planet.. but it definatly exists
