the action of rotating around an axis or center
is it cold on mars?
Overall, Mars is cold—its average global temperature is around -80 degrees Fahrenheit—and has a much thinner atmosphere than Earth. Because it has about a sixth of the pressure of Earth's atmosphere, the planet doesn't retain heat very long, causing temperatures to drop quickly.
how many planets are in our solar system?
8
Why is it dark at night?
During the day, sunlight floods our atmosphere in all directions, with both direct and reflected sunlight coming to us from everywhere we can see. At night, the sunlight doesn't flood the atmosphere, and so it's dark everywhere in the sky that there isn't a point of light at, like a star, planet, or the Moon.
Why do the seasons change
Earth's Tilt Is the Reason for the Seasons! ... During the year, the seasons change depending on the amount of sunlight reaching the Earth as it revolves around the Sun. The seasons are caused as the Earth, tilted on its axis, travels in a loop around the Sun each year.
galaxy means?
A galaxy is a gravitationally bound system of stars, stellar remnants, interstellar gas, dust, and dark matter. The word galaxy is derived from the Greek galaxias, literally "milky", a reference to the Milky Way.
what is the hottest planet in our solar system?
Venus is the second planet from the sun and has a temperature that is maintained at 462 degrees Celsius, no matter where you go on the planet. It is the hottest planet in the solar system. So what makes Venus hotter than Mercury? Mercury doesn't have any atmosphere, and atmosphere can hold and trap heat.
