How many months are there on Mercury?

With a much shorter orbit of the Sun, Mercury has a drastically shorter year when compared to Earth. A single year on Mercury lasts only 88 Earth days - less than three Earth months. The US space agency NASA said: "All of the other planets in our solar system also orbit the Sun.

Does Mercury have a birthday?

It completes one revolution around the sun in just 88 Earth days. If you lived on Mercury, you'd have a birthday every three months! A day on Mercury is not like a day here on Earth. ... Mercury only has one sunrise every 180 Earth days!

How is 1 hour in space equal to 7 years on Earth?

The first planet they land on is close to a supermassive black hole, dubbed Gargantuan, whose gravitational pull causes massive waves on the planet that toss their spacecraft about. Its proximity to the black hole also causes an extreme time dilation, where one hour on the distant planet equals 7 years on Earth.

How old would Freddie Mercury be today?

Freddie Mercury died on 24th November 1991 at his home in Kensington, London, at the age of 45. He passed away just 24 hours after a statement was issued, publicly announcing he was HIV positive. He would be 74-years-old today if he had lived.

Does Mercury have ice?

Mercury is not alone in having ice on its surface, as water ice has also been discovered on the moon and on small worlds such as asteroids and comets. These locations may have variations in water deposition, however.

Why is Mars red?

Well, a lot of rocks on Mars are full of iron, and when they're exposed to the great outdoors, they 'oxidize' and turn reddish - the same way an old bike left out in the yard gets all rusty. When rusty dust from those rocks gets kicked up in the atmosphere, it makes the martian sky look pink.

Does Mars have seasons?

Similarly to Earth, Mars has four distinct seasons. However, each season lasts about twice as long because the Martian year is almost twice that of Earth. Mars orbits closest to the Sun when its southern hemisphere is tilted towards it, while the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun when it is furthest away.

What planet is Uranus?

Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun, and has the third-largest diameter in our solar system. It was the first planet found with the aid of a telescope, Uranus was discovered in 1781 by astronomer William Herschel, although he originally thought it was either a comet or a star.

Why is Pluto no longer considered to be a planet?

The International Astronomical Union (IAU) downgraded the status of Pluto to that of a dwarf planet because it did not meet the three criteria the IAU uses to define a full-sized planet. Essentially Pluto meets all the criteria except one—it “has not cleared its neighboring region of other objects.”

Can we live on Uranus?

Uranus' environment is not conducive to life as we know it. The temperatures, pressures, and materials that characterize this planet are most likely too extreme and volatile for organisms to adapt to.
