You welcome the astronomy portal. Website dedicated to our universe, space, large and small planets, star systems and their components. Our portal provides detailed information on all 9 planets, comets, asteroids, meteors and meteorites. You can learn about the emergence of our Sun and the Solar System.

The sun together with the nearest celestial bodies that rotate around it form a soy system. The heavenly bodies include 9 planets, 63 satellites, 4 rings in giant planets, more than 20 thousand asteroids, huge number Meteorites and millions of comet. Between them there is a space in which electrons and protons (solar wind particles) are moving. Although scientists and astrophysics have long been studying our solar system, still there are unexplored places. For example, most of the planets and their satellites are studied only by fleetingly with photos. We saw only one hemisphere of Mercury, and the Space Probe did not fall to Pluto and at all.

Almost all the mass of the solar system is concentrated in the sun - 99.87%. The size of the sun just also exceeds the size of the rest of the celestial bodies. This is a star, which, due to the high temperatures of the surface, shines independently. The surrounding planets shine lightly reflected by the sun. This process is called albedo. Total planets nine - Mercury, Venus, Mars, Earth, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, Pluto and Neptune. The distance in the solar system is measured in units of the average distance of our planet from the sun. It is called an astronomical unit - 1 AE. \u003d 149.6 million km. For example, the distance from the Sun to Pluto is 39 AE, but sometimes this indicator increases to 49 A.E.

The planets rotate around the Sun in almost circular orbits, which lie relatively in the same plane. In the plane of the Earth's orbits lies the so-called plane of the ecliptic is very close to the average plane of the orbits of the rest of the planets. Because of this, the visible paths of the planets of the moon and the sun in the sky are closed near the ecliptic line. The tilts of the orbits begin their countdown from the plane of the ecliptic. Those angles that have a slope of less than 90 ⁰ correspond to the movement counterclockwise (direct orbital movement), and the angles exceeding 90⁰ - reverse movement.

In the solar system, all planets move in the forward direction. The largest inclination of the orbit is 17 ⁰ at Pluto. Most comet moves in the opposite direction. For example, the same comet Galleya - 162⁰. All orbits of bodies that are in our solar system mainly have the form of an ellipse. The closest point of the orbit to the Sun is called the periecelium, and the most distant - aphelius.

All scientists, taking into account the earthly observation, divide the planets into two groups. Venus and Mercury as the closest planets are called internal, and more deleted by external. The inner planets have an extreme angle of removal from the sun. When such a planet is removed to the maximum east or west of the sun, astrologers say that it is located in the greatest Eastern or Western elongation. And if the inner planet is visible before the sun - it is located in the lower connection. When behind the Sun is in the upper connection. Just like the moon, these planets have certain lighting phases during a synodic period of PS time. True orbital period of planets is called Sideric.

When an external planet is located behind the Sun, it is in connection. In the event that it is placed in the opposite sun direction, they say that it is in confrontation. The planet, which is observed on the corner distance in 90⁰ from the Sun, is considered as quadrature. The belt of asteroids between the orbits of Jupiter and Mars divides the planetary system to the 2nd groups. Domestic belongs to the planets of the Earth Group - Mars, Earth, Venus and Mercury. Their average density ranges from 3.9 to 5.5 g / cm 3. They are devoid of rings, slowly rotate along the axis and have a small amount of natural satellites. At the Earth - the Moon, and Marsa - Dimos and Phobos. The belt of asteroids are planets-giants - Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter. They are characterized by a large radius, low density and deep atmosphere. There are no solid surface on such giants. They rotate very quickly, surrounded by a large number of satellites and have rings.

In antiquity, people knew the planets, but only those that were visible to the naked eye. In 1781, V. Herschel opened another planet - Uranus. In 1801, J. Piazzi opened the first asteroid. Neptune discovered twice, first theoretically - W. Leverier and J. Adams, and then physically - I. Galle. Pluto as the most remote planet was discovered only in 1930. Galiley still in the XVII century opened four satellites of Jupiter. Since then, numerous opening of other satellites began. All of them were performed using telescopes. About the fact that Saturn is surrounded by a ring asteroids first recognized H. Guigens. Around uranium dark rings were open in 1977. Rest space discovery Mostly performed by special machines and satellites. So, for example, in 1979, thanks to the Probe "Voyager-1", people saw the stone transparent rings of Jupiter. And after 10 years, "Voyager-2" opened the inhomogeneous Rings of Neptune.

Our portal site will tell the basic information about the solar system, its structure and celestial bodies. We represent only advanced information that is relevant to this moment. One of the most basic celestial bodies in our galaxy is the Sun itself.

The sun is located in the center of the Solar System. This is a natural single star weighing 2 * 1030 kg and a radius of about 700,000 km. The temperature of the photosphere - the visible surface of the Sun is 5800K. Comparing the gas density of the sun photosphere with air density on our planet, it can be said that it is thousands of times less. Inside the sun, the density, pressure and temperature increase depending on the depth. The deeper, the indicators are more.

The high temperature of the solar core affects the conversion of hydrogen in helium, resulting in a large amount of heat. Because of this, the star is not compressed under the influence of its own gravity. Energy that is released from the kernel leaves the sun as a photosphere radiation. Radiation power - 3.86 * 1026 W. This process is already approximately 4.6 billion years. According to exemplary counts, scientists have already been recycled from hydrogen in helium about 4%. Interestingly, 0.03% of the mass of the star is turned into energy in this way. Given the model of the life of stars, it can be assumed that the sun has now passed half of its own evolution.

The study of the sun is extremely heavy. Everything is connected with high temperatures, but thanks to the development of technologies and science, humanity is gradually mastering knowledge. For example, in order to determine the content chemical elements In the Sun, the scientists of astronomers study radiation in the spectrum of light and the absorption line. Emission lines (radiation lines) are very bright areas of the spectrum, which indicate the absorption of photons. The frequency of the spectral line indicates which molecule or atom is responsible for its appearance. The absorption lines are presented with dark intervals in the spectrum. They indicate the missing photons of one or another frequency. And, it means that they are absorbed by some chemical element.

Studying a thin photoosphere, astronomers estimate chemical composition His subsoil. Exterior areas of the sun are mixed with convection, solar spectra possess high qualityand the responsible physical processes are explained. Due to insufficiency of funds and technologies, it is still intensified only half of the lines of the solar spectrum.

The basis of the Sun is hydrogen, after it is in the number of helium. This is an inert gas that does not react with other atoms. In the same way, it is reluctant to be shown in the optical spectrum. One line is seen. The whole mass of the sun consists of 71% of hydrogen and 28% of helium. The remaining elements occupy a little more than 1%. Interestingly, this is not the only object in the solar system, which has the same composition.

Solar spots are a stars surface area with a large vertical magnetic field. This phenomenon prevents the gas movement by vertical than suppresses convection. The temperature of this area is lowered by 1000 K, thus forming a stain. Its central part of it is "Shadow", surrounded by a higher temperature area - "Poletyn". In size, such a spot in diameter slightly exceeds the size of the Earth. His viability does not exceed the period a few weeks. There is no certain amount of stains in the sun. At one period there may be more to be, in the other - less. These periods have their own cycles. On average, their indicator reaches a mark of 11.5 years. The viability of spots depends on the cycle than it is more, the less spots exist.

The fluctuations in the activity of the Sun practically do not affect the total power of its radiation. Scientists have tried for a long time to find a connection between the climate of the Earth and solar spots cycles. The event is connected with this solar phenomenon - the "minimum of mounder". In the middle of the XVII century, for 70 years, our planet felt a small glacial period. At the same time, there was almost no spots in the sun. Until now, it does not know whether there is no connection between these two events.

In total, there are five large constantly rotating hydrogen-helium balls in the solar system - Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus and Sun itself. Inside these giants are almost all substances of the solar system. The direct study of the remote planets is still impossible, therefore the majority of unproved theories remains unproved. The same situation with the depths of the earth. But people still found a way to somehow study internal structure Our planet. With this question, it is not bad for seismologists, watching seismic jokes. Naturally, their methods are fully applicable to the sun. Unlike seismic earthly movements in the sun there is a permanent seismic noise. Under the converter zone, which occupies a 14% stars radius, the substance is spinning synchronously with a period of 27 days. Above the convective zone, the rotation is synchronously along the cones of equal latitude.

Most recently, astronomers tried to apply the methods of seismology to study the giants planets, but there were no results. The fact is that the devices applied in this study still can not fix the emerging oscillations.

Over the photosphere of the Sun is a thin, strongly hot layer of the atmosphere. It can be seen purely in moments solar Eclipse. It is called chromosphere due to red. The chromosphere has a thickness of about several thousand kilometers. From the photosphere to the top of the chromosphere, the temperature is doubled. But it is still unknown why the energy of the Sun stands out, leaves the chromosphere in the form of heat. Gas, which is located above the chromosphere, heated to one million K. This area is also called the crown. On the radius of the Sun, it extends one radius and has a very low gas density inside itself. Interestingly, at low gas density temperature is very high.

From time to time, in the atmosphere of our shining, gigantic education sizes are created - eruptive protuberances. Having the form of the arch, they raise from the photosphere to a large height of approximately half of the solar radius. According to the observations of scientists, it turns out that the form of protuberans is constructed by the power lines emanating from magnetic field.

Another interesting and extremely active phenomenon is solar flares. These are very powerful particles and energy emissions duration up to 2 hours. Such a stream of photons from the Sun to the Earth comes in eight minutes, and protons and electrons reach several days. Such flashes are created in places where the direction of the magnetic field changes dramatically. They are caused by the movement of substances in the sun stains.

Previously, the planet was called any cosmic body, rotating around a star, emitting light, which reflects this star, and having dimensions more asteroid. Also in Ancient Greece They spoke about 7 planets as glowing bodies that move across the sky against the background of stars. This is Mercury, Sun, Venus, Mars, Moon, Jupiter, Saturn. Note that the sun, which is the star, and the moon is the satellite of our Earth. The land is not included in this list because the Greeks considered it the center of everything.

In the 15th century, Copernicus found out that the center of the system is the sun, not the earth. He posted his statements in the work "On the appeal of heavenly spheres." The moon and the sun were removed from the list, and the planet land turned on. When the telescopes invented, three more planets were opened. Uranus in 1781, Neptune in 1846, Pluto in the 1930th, which, by the way, is not considered more planet.

At the moment, researchers give a new meaning of the word "planet", namely: this is a heavenly body that satisfies 4 conditions:

• The body should rotate around the star.
• Have a spherical or approximate form, that is, the body should have sufficient gravity.
• It should not be a star.
• The heavenly body should not have other major bodies nearby orbits.

The star is a body that emit lights and has a powerful energy source.

Planets in the Solar System

Solar system includes planets and other objects that rotate around the sun. 4.5 billion years ago, thickening from clouds of star matter began to form in the galaxy. Gases were heated and radiated heat. As a result of the increase in temperature and density, nuclear reactions began, hydrogen turned into helium. So there was a powerful source of energy - the sun. This process took tens of millions of years. Created planets with satellites. Fully the formation of the solar system ended about 4 billion years ago.

To date, the solar system includes 8 planets that are divided into two groups. The first is the earth group, the second is the gas giants. Planet earth Group - Venus, Mercury, Mars and Earth - consist of silicates and metals. Gaza giants - Saturn, Jupiter, Neptune and Uranium - consist of hydrogen and helium. The planets have different sizes both in comparison between the two groups and among themselves. Accordingly, the giants are much larger and massive planets of the earth group.

Mercury is closer to the Sun, Neptune. Before you give the characteristic of the planets of the solar system, you need to talk about the main object of its object - the sun. This is a star thanks to which the existence is all living and non-living in the system. Sun is spherical, plasma, red-colored ball. A large number of space objects rotates around it - satellites, planets, meteorites, asteroids and cosmic dust. This star originated about 5 billion years ago. Its mass is larger than our planet 300 thousand times. The kernel temperature of 13 million degrees Kelvin, and on the surface - 5 thousand degrees Kelvin (4727 degrees Celsius). In the Milky Way Galaxy, the Sun is one of the largest and bright stars. The distance from the galaxy center is 26,000 light years. The sun makes a full turn around the galactic center for 230-250 million years.

Mercury

Located to the Sun closer than all and is the smallest planet of the solar system. The planet has no satellites. On the surface of Mercury there are many crater, which were formed by many meteorites, fallen on the planet more than 3 billion years ago. Their diameter is diverse - from a pair of meters to 1000 kilometers. The atmosphere on the planet consists mainly of helium and is inflated by the wind of the sun. Temperature can reach +440 degrees Celsius. The turn around the sun planet makes 88 terrestrial days. The day on the planet is equal to 176 globes.

Venus

Venus - the second planet from the sun. Its dimensions are approximate to the size of the Earth. Satellites planet has no. The atmosphere is carbonated gas with nitrogen and oxygen impurities. Air pressure is 90 atmospheres, which is 35 times more than on Earth. Venus is called the hottest planet, because the compacted atmosphere, carbon dioxide, the intimacy of the Sun and greenhouse effect Forming very high temperatures on the surface of the planet. It can reach 460 degrees Celsius. Venus can be seen from the ground. This is the brightest space object after the moon and the sun.

Land

The only planet adapted for life. Maybe she is on other planets, but this so far no one can say with confidence. In its group, it is the largest, density and size. Her age of more than 4 billion years. Life here was born more than 3 billion years ago. Satellite of Earth - Moon. The atmosphere on the planet is radically different from others. Most of it consists of nitrogen. Also here includes carbon dioxide, oxygen, water vapor and argon. The ozone layer and the magnetic field make the level of solar and cosmic radiation smaller. Due to the content of carbon dioxide of carbon dioxide on the planet, a greenhouse effect is formed on the planet. Without it, the temperature on the ground surface would be less than 40 degrees. Islands and continents occupy 29% of the surface of the planet, and the rest is the world ocean.

Mars

It is also called the "red planet" due to the presence of a large amount of iron oxide in the ground. Mars is the seventh planet of the solar system in size. Two satellites fly next to the planet - Dimimos and Phobos. Due to the too spared atmosphere and the distant distance from the Sun, the average annual temperature of the planet is minus 60 degrees. At some points during the day, temperature differences can reach 40 degrees. The presence of volcanoes and craters, deserts and valleys, ice polar hats distinguishes Mars from other planets of the solar system. Also here is the highest mountain - the extinct volcano Olympus, which has reached a height of 27 kilometers. Mariner Valley is the largest canyon among the planets. Its length is 4500 km and the depth - 11 m.

Jupiter

This is the largest planet in the solar system. Jupiter is 318 times heavier than the Earth and 2.5 times with a massive compared to other planets. The main components of the planets are helium and hydrogen. Jupiter radiates a lot of heat - 4 * 1017 W. To become a star like the sun, it should reach the mass of 70 times more than the current one. The planet has the largest number of satellites - 63. Europe, Callisto, Gamornad and Io are the largest of them. Ganymed is also the largest satellite in the entire solar system and even exceeds the size of Mercury. In the atmosphere of Jupiter there are many vortices that have a brown-red cloud strip, or a giant storm, known as a large red spot from the 17th century.

Saturn

Like Jupiter, this is a large planet, which in size goes after Jupiter. The rings system that consists of ice particles different sizes, rocks and dust, distinguishes this planet from others. He is one less satellites than Jupiter. The largest are Enzeld and Titan. In the composition of Saturn resembles Jupiter, but in density is inferior to the simplest water. The atmosphere looks quite homogeneous and calm, which can be explained by the dense layer of fog. On Saturn a huge wind speed, it can reach 1800 km per hour.

Uranus

This planet was found first with a telescope. Uranus is the only planet of the solar system that lies on the side and rotates around the sun. Uranium has 27 satellites that wear names in honor of the heroes of Pieces of Shakespeare. The largest among them are Titania, Oberon and Umbriel. As part of uranium there is a large number of high-temperature ice modifications. He is also the coldest planet. The temperature here is minus 224 degrees Celsius.

Neptune

This is the most distant planet from the Sun, although until 2006 this title belonged to Pluto. This planet was opened without a telescope, and mathematical calculations. The existence of Neptune scientists suggested uranium, on which strange changes were discovered during their own orbit. The planet has 13 satellites. The largest among them is Triton. His feature is that he moves the opposite of the planet. In the same direction blowing the most strong winds Solar system whose speed reaches 2,200 km per hour. Neptune and uranium compositions are similar, but also in composition, it looks like Jupiter and Saturn. The planet has an internal source of heat, which receives 2.5 times more energy than from the Sun. In the outer layers of the atmosphere there is methane, which gives the planet blue shade.

Here is how much the world of space is mysterious. Many satellites and planets have their own characteristics. Scientists make changes to this world, for example, excluded Pluto from the list of planets.

Learn the planets on the site. The site is very interesting.

Rotation of Planet

All planets, in addition to their orbits, rotate and around their axis. The period for which they make a complete turn is defined as an era. A larger number of planets in the solar system rotates in the same direction around the axis as around the sun, but Uranus and Venus rotate the opposite. Scientists are watching a large difference in the length of the day on the planets - Venus requires 243 terrestrial days to make one turn around the axis, while the planets of the group of gas giants need only a couple of hours. The period of rotation of the exoplanet is not known, but their close location to the stars means that the eternal day reigns on one side, and on the second one - the eternal night.

Why are all the planets so different? Due to the high temperature closer to the star and gas evaporated very quickly. The planets were not able to form the giants, but the accumulation of metals particles happened. Thus, Mercury formed, which contains the largest amount of metals. The further we from the center, the less temperature. Heavenly bodies appeared, where the significant percentage was rocking rocks. Four planets that are located closer to the center of the Solar System are called internal. With the opening of new systems, more and more questions appear. New research will help to answer them.

Scientists argue that our system is unique. All planets are built in strict order. The biggest is closer to the sun, respectively, the smallest is further. Our system has a more complex structure, because the planets are not built by their mass. The sun is more than 99 percent of all system objects.

Pluto Mac decision (International Astronomical Union) no longer belongs to the planets of the solar system, and is dwarf Planet And even inferior in diameter another dwarf planet Erida. Pluto designation 134340.

solar system

Scientists put forward many versions of our solar system. In the forties of the last century, Otto Schmidt put forward a hypothesis that the solar system arose because cold dust clouds pulled to the sun. Over time, the clouds have formed the foundations of future planets. IN modern science It is the theory of Schmidt is the main. Solar system represents only a small part of a large galaxy called the Milky Way. The Milky Way includes more than one hundred billion different stars. For awareness, such a simple truth was needed by millennium. Opening solar system It happened not immediately, step by step, on the basis of victories and errors, the knowledge system was formed. The main base for the study of the solar system was knowledge of Earth.

Basics and theory

The main milestones in the study of the solar system are a modern atomic system, a heliocentric system of Copernicus and Ptolemy. The most likely version of the origin of the system is considered the theory of a large explosion. In accordance with it, the formation of the galaxy began with the "running" of the elements of the megasystem. At the turn of the impenetrable house, our solar system was originated. It becomes just the sun - 99.8% of the total volume, the planets account for 0.13%, the remaining 0.0003% constitute various bodies of our system. Acquired division of planets into two conventional groups . The first include the planets of the Land: Actually, the Earth itself, Venus, Mercury itself. The main distinguishing characteristics of the planets of the first group is a relatively small area, hardness, a small amount of satellites. The second group includes uranium, Neptune and Saturn - they are distinguished by large dimensions (planets giants), they form helium and hydrogen gases.

In addition to the Sun and planets, our system also includes planetary satellites, comets, meteorites and asteroids.

Special attention should be paid to asteroid belts that are between Jupiter and Mars, and between Pluto and Neptune orbits. At the moment, there is no unambiguous version of such formations in science.
What a planet is not considered now the planet:

Pluto since its discovery until 2006 was considered a planet, but later, in the outer part of the solar system, many celestial bodies were opened, comparable in size with Pluto and even exceeding it. To avoid confusion, a new definition of the planet was given. Pluto did not hit this definition, so he was assigned a new "status" - dwarf Planet.. So, Pluto can serve as a response to the question: before he was considered a planet, and now - no. However, some scientists continue to assume that Pluto must be reclassified back into the planet.

Deposits of scientists

On the basis of research, scientists suggest that the sun approaches the middle of its life path. Unimaginably imagine what will happen if the sun goes out. But scientists say that this is not only possible, but also inevitably. The age of the Sun was determined with the help of the latest computer developments and found out that he had about five billion years. According to astronomical law, the life of a star, a similar sun, lasts about ten billion years. Thus, our solar system is located in the middle of the life cycle. What are scientists imply under the word "go out"? Huge solar energy is hydrogen energy, which becomes helium in the kernel. Every second, about six hundred tons of hydrogen in the Sun kernel is processed in helium. According to the estimates of scientists, the sun has already spent most of its hydrogen reserves.

If instead of the moon, the planets of the solar system would be:

Solar system is our Space District, and the planets in it are at home. Agree, each house should have its own number.

In this article, you will learn about the correct location of the planets, as well as how much is it, and not otherwise they are called.

In contact with

Let's start with the Sun..

In the literal sense of the star of today's article - the sun. They called him so, according to some data, in honor of the Roman God of Sola, he was the God of Heavenly Luminous. The root "SOL" is present in almost all languages \u200b\u200bof the world and one way or another gives an association with the modern concept of the Sun.

From this shone and the correct order of objects begins, each of which is unique in its own way.

Mercury

The very first object of our attention is Mercury, named so in honor of the Divine Messenger of Mercury, which was different at his phenomenal speed. Yes, and Mercury himself is not slow - he, by virtue of his location, the faster of all planets of our system makes turn around the sun, being with the smallest "house", rotating around our shining.

Interesting Facts:

• Mercury revolves around the Sun along an ellipsoid orbit, and not a rounded, like the other planets and this orbit is constantly shifted.
• Mercury has an iron core that makes up 40% of its entire mass and 83% of its volume.
• Mercury can be seen in the sky with a naked eye.

Venus

"House" number two in our system. Venus was named in honor of the goddess - Beautiful patroness of love. In terms of Venus, only a little inferior to our land. Its atmosphere consists almost entirely of carbon dioxide. Oxygen in its atmosphere is, but in very minor quantities.

Interesting Facts:

Land

The only space object on which life was discovered is the third on the score of the planet in our system. For a comfortable stay of living organisms on Earth, everything is: suitable temperature, oxygen and water. The name of our planet comes from the Praslanian root "-EV, denoting" low ". Probably called it in ancient times because it was considered flat, in other words, "low."

Interesting Facts:

• The satellite of the Luna is the largest companion among satellites of the planets of the earth group - Dwarf Planets.
• This is the most dense planet among the earthly group.
• Earth and Venus are sometimes called sisters due to the fact that both of them have an atmosphere.

Mars

Fourth planet from the sun. Mars is named after the Ancient Roman God of war for his bloody-red color, which is not at all bloody, and, in fact, Iron. It is the high content of iron that gives the surface of Mars red. Mars less land, but has two satellites: Phobos and Dimimos.

Interesting Facts:

Asteroid belt

Asteroid belt is between Mars and Jupiter. He acts as if the boundary between the planets of the earth group and the giant planets. Some scientists believe that the asteroid belt is nothing more than the planet, scattered on the fragments. But while the whole world is inclined more to the theory that the belt of asteroids is the consequence Big bangoriginating galaxy.

Jupiter

Jupiter - the fifth "house", counting from the sun. It is two and a half times harder all the planets of the galaxy, combined. Jupiter is named after the Ancient Roman king gods, most likely because of their impressive sizes.

Interesting Facts:

Saturn

Saturn is named so in honor of the Roman god farming. Saturn symbol is a sickle. The sixth planet is widely known for its rings. Saturn is the lowest density of all natural satellites rotating around the sun. Its density is even lower than that of the water.

Interesting Facts:

• Saturn 62 satellite. The most famous of them: Titan, Encelada, Japteg, Dion, The Afony, Reya and Mimas.
• Saturn Saturn Titan has the most significant atmosphere among all system satellites, and Reia has rings, like Saturn himself.
• The composition of the chemical elements of the Sun and Saturn is most like, rather than the sun and other objects of the solar system.

Uranus

The seventh "house" in the solar system. Sometimes uranium is called the "lazy planet", because he lies at the side of the side - the slope of its axis is 98 degrees. Also uranium the easiest planet of our system and its satellites are named after the characters of William Shakespeare and Alexander Pota. Uranus himself is named after the Greek God of Heaven.

Interesting Facts:

• Uranus has 27 satellites, the most famous of them: Titania, Ariel, Umbriel and Miranda.
• Temperature in uranium -224 degrees Celsius.
• One year in uranium is 84 years on Earth.

Neptune

Eighth last Planet. The solar system is close enough to your neighbor Uranium. Neptune received his name in honor of God of the Seas and Oceans. Obviously, it was given to this space object after the researchers saw a deep blue colour Neptune.

Interesting Facts:

About Pluto

Pluto officially ceased to consider the planet from August 2006. He was considered too small and declared asteroid. The name of the former Planet of the Galaxy is not at all the name of any God. The discoverer of this is now an asteroid called this space object in honor of his daughter's favorite cartoon character - PSA Pluto.

In this article, we briefly considered the location of the planets. We hope that this article turned out to be useful and informative for you.
