Saturn is the 6th planet from Sun in solar system. It is second largest planet in solar system. It is 9.53 Astronomical units from Sun. Picture credit alamy.com.
A solar system is a star and all of its planets, asteroids, comets and other bodies. It is significantly bigger than a star. A galaxy, such as our Milky Way Galaxy, is a collection of solar systems orbiting around a central core. Most galaxies have a supermassive black hole at their centres. Galaxies also form clusters which are large scale ...
Within about 2 solar radii of the center of the sun. Our solar system consists of the sun, eight planets and their moons, and a bunch of asteroids and comets. By far the majority of the mass in our solar system lies inside of the sun, around 99.8%. We should therefore expect the center of mass, or center of mass, to be especially close to the sun. The planets themselves move though, so the ...

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Rings of Jupiter are sans ice. Saturn's ring-system is the largest in the solar system. It comprises mainly ice and rock particles. Uranus has inner and outer ring systems comprising bigger masses, Neptune has a faint and fragmented ring system comprising mainly icy particles of water. Reference; My noting years ago, from references including wiki.
Ptolemy included epicycles in his orbits. Ptolomy's model of the solar system was geocentric, where the sun, moon, planets, and stars all orbit the earth in perfectly circular orbits. The problem with perfectly circular orbit around the Earth is that they do not explain the occasional backward motion, or retrograde motion, of the planets. The Greeks insisted that the motion of the planets be ...

We already know that the distance of all the planets are generally calculated by keeping the Sun as the main location point. The distances of all the planets from the Sun in scientific notation and exponential form- Mercury- 57 million kilometers. Scientific notation- 5.7* 10^7 \\ "km" Venus- 108 million kilometers. Scientific notation- 1.08 * 10^8 \\ "km" Earth- 150 million kilometers ...
[1] New Moon: Earth, Moon and Sun lined up with the Moon coming between the Earth and the Sun. But usually the alignment is not perfect with the Moon's longitude lying a few degrees above or below the Sun's longitude. The Earth-Moon line and the Earth-Sun line are close to zero degree. However, occasionally the alignment could be near perfect leading to an eclipsing of Sun by the Moon. That is ...
