What would happen to a solar system if a planet exploded?

The solar system would have one less planet and a vast debris cloud with greater mass than the asteroid belt.

Can other planets crash into Earth?

Could a planet ever collide with Earth? Scientists say it’s highly unlikely. While large-scale collisions were prevalent when our solar system was young, it would be extremely rare for one to occur in a stable and established system like our own.

What if the Sun disappeared?

With no sunlight, photosynthesis would stop, but that would only kill some of the plants—there are some larger trees that can survive for decades without it. Within a few days, however, the temperatures would begin to drop, and any humans left on the planet’s surface would die soon after.

Can a planet hit the Earth?

Zeebe reports good news for modern man: In no simulation did any planet hit Earth. In the 20 September issue of The Astrophysical Journal, Zeebe states that our planet’s orbit is highly stable for at least the next 5 billion years and that the odds of another world smashing into us are extremely slim.

What if Venus disappeared?

Venus: Venus is the second planet of the solar system and is commonly hailed as Earth’s twin. It’s also the second-brightest object in the night sky after the Moon itself. The loss of Venus would not have many cosmological effects, but it would certainly hurt the night sky, as we would lose our “morning star”.

How does the gravitational pull of other planets affect the Earth?

The gravitational pull of the other planets in the solar system affect the Earth’s orbit in several ways. Jupiter in particular has an effect on other planets including Earth. Most moons in the solar system are small in comparison with the planet they orbit around. The Moon however is quite large relative the the Earth.

What would happen if all the planets suddenly disappeared?

The disappearance of any planet would change Earth’s orbit and therefore its climate and seasons. This is all not to mention the mass rioting and confusion that would occur if a planet suddenly vanished. It would force us to completely rethink the laws of physics and our place in the Universe.

Why is the moon so small in comparison to other planets?

Most moons in the solar system are small in comparison with the planet they orbit around. The Moon however is quite large relative the the Earth. This means that it is not the Earth which orbits the Sun it is the centre of mass of the Earth and Moon called the Earth Moon Barycentre.

Do other planets in our Solar System have weather?

Each of the planets in our solar system experiences its own unique weather. But one thing is certain: Only Earth has weather we can live with. Let’s take a weather tour of the solar system to see what each planet has to offer. Because it is so close to the Sun, any vacation on Mercury would be ruined by extreme temperatures.
