Question

Which of the following statements regarding our solar system are correct? (More than one answer may be correct or none at all.) The more massive planets in the solar system tend to be less dense than the lower mass planets. All the planets in the solar system have at least one moon. All the planets in the solar system rotate in the same direction as they orbit the Sun, Within the frost line, planetesimals were composed entirely of rock; outside the frost line, planetesimals were composed entirely of ice. Pluto is the largest solar system object beyond the orbit of Neptune. All planets orbit the Sun in the same direction (counterclockwise when viewed from above Earth's North Pole)

Explanation / Answer

1. A) The more massive planets in the solar system tend to be less dense than the lower mass planets.

this is because gravity of the planet tends to increase its density so stronger the gravity more denser it is

F) All planets orbits the sun in the same direction( Counterclockwise when viewed from above Earth's north pole).

this is because all the planets were formed from a single star.

2. D) A couple of thousand years

Even the closest star would take thousands of years to reach.

3. C) The copernican model was much more accurate than the ptolemaic model but was more complicated.

It was difficult to use as compared to ptolemaic model
