Explanation of Planet Order

[johnq86]

what determines how the planets in our solar system are ordered?

[Snee]

Ordered how? How we order them, or their positioning in space?

[clocker]

what determines how the planets in our solar system are ordered?
Physics.

Or maybe manker, I can't remember.

Anyway, one of those two.

[johnq86]

I meant to say why are they ordered in space the way they are?What are the factors and process?

science wasn't my strong point at school in fact come to think of it i didn't go to school

It's still in the original order god shited them. :w00t:

i lol'ed :lol:

You when you think about it.

[FatBob]

When the solar system was created, gas and dust was swirling around the sun. The dust collected in clumps called planetesimals. Those grew and grew by picking up more and more dust. They eventually ate up all the dust and became large enough to be known as planets. Nothing determines where the planets are, they were just created in that order.

[SAM]

well
i don't get your question?
but as it was created it happed that all the planets are rotating around the sun in orbits and they got their order according to the distance between each planet and the sun
for example earth came third according to distance
there is other order which is according to mass and volume
Jupiter is number one in this category
so there are many orders and classifications

the boards acting like a total moran

[manker]

the boards acting like a total moran
Agree

[thebazzla]

sorry something wrong :(yes its all your posting its making the board go haywire :)

[johnq86]

ok i hope this makes it clearer,the planets as they are placed along the solar system revolving around the sun are in the order becuase of something and I am trying to figure out why the planets are placed where they are along the solar system.

I see what you mean now.

FFS.
Okay, try this.

[Mr JP Fugley]

Mnemonics vary, even manker justifies showing us, no problem.

[clocker]

Why are you guys still including a "u"?

[Mr JP Fugley]

Why are you guys still including a "u"?

Why not.

I know you chaps like to drop the "u" from words but that doesn't make it right.

[clocker]

Because everyone's favorite snicker-inducing planet was demoted to "big- but not real planet big- thing" status a few years ago.

It was in all the newspapers and TV and everything.
People cried and rent their breasts (mulder was in heaven) but the powers that be would not relent.

All your mnemonics are belong to us.

[manker]

Why are you guys still including a "u"?
If you read the mnemonics we've posted so far, they'd make no sense whatsoever if the word beginning with 'u' wasn't there.

Think it thro', man.

[manker]

V. poor rod, btw, clocker.

[clocker]

I'll do better next time, promise.

Now I'm thinking that the rod was deliberately poor such that my commenting on it entangled my lip in clocker's feisty barb.

[clocker]

Wheels within wheels, manks.

[ktasera]

Actually, since planetary orbits are elliptical, when pluto was a planet it used to switch places (I mean, be closer to the sun) with neptune once in a while.

[clocker]

So, since we decided Pluto isn't a planet it's changed it's orbit in spite?

[Snee]

Anyways, the solar system in fast forward: Cloud of gas, collapsing cloud of gas, gas compressed to rotating accretion disc, accretion disc breaking up into chucks, chunks banging into each other, planetoids, planets, sun in the middle, and in the far future: sun going out, sun swelling up out to mars or so, stuff further out floating off, sun collapsing again dragging the innermost planets in, into a brown dwarf or something.

Gravity working against centrifugal force holds them in place around the sun, I think. Most were part of the disc, so they rotate in the same orbit, pluto (I think it's pluto anyways) rotates differently cos it came from elsewhere and got caught by gravitation, hence it has a slightly different orbit compared to the others, sometimes going inside the orbit of neptune (I think) changing the order now and then.

[SAM]

they placed where they are because of the gravity forces between them that what keep them stable in their orbits

[Squeamous]

I think I read somewhere once that the planets are the composition they are because of their position around the sun. That the elements that compose them tend to congregate at certain distances from the sun inside the spinning disc of matter as they form, so that when scientists look for signs of life in other solar systems they always look for a planet the same distance as Earth from the foreign sun...so it has just the right amount of temperature and the most likely composition. Is this complete bollocks or have I remembered it right?

[Snee]

Dunno what fake sam said, but it's probably fucking stupid or adds nothing useful. Disregard everything he says.

Different elements have different composition, so it sounds sensible that they'd be distributed somewhat unevenly, what with the forces pulling on them. The sun is mostly hydrogen and helium (the pressure inside the sun creates a fusion reaction kind of thing turning hydrogen into helium), pretty light stuff.

I suppose we might have just the right mix, and it might be that heavier elements or something are more common further out.

Can't really count on everything laying about all orderly though, element-wise, there are fairly chaotic matters to factor in, like stuff coming from the outside, like asteroids and so forth.

[Squeamous]

Phew. My OH asked me this a week ago and that's the explanation I gave. Didn't realise Pluto was something foreign to this solar system though.....live and learn!

[Barbarossa]

The only people talking any sense in this thread are snee and squeamous.

Pluto isn't a planet any more, so all mnemonics are fail.


what determines how the planets in our solar system are ordered?

Angular momentum. Now STFU. :dry:

[SAM]

and me barbie :(
i mentioned gravity .didn't this count?!

[thebazzla]

the only Pluto i know of is in Disneyland

A little from column A and a little from column B

As far as I have read there is no hard and fast rule that Gas giants have to be in the outer ring or that there has to be 8 or more planets. However, as Squeamous pointed out, in order to support life it is most likely that any such planet would have to be able to maintain liquid water. This means it would need a moderately temperate climate and not be too big. I believe that most of the planets identified so far around other suns have been gas giants (because they are easiest to spot) and that some of these have occupied regions that should be optimum climate wise but would appear to have too much mass to make living easy. That doesn't mean they might not have habitable moons. Then again any moon would need to have a rotation that presented all the surface to the sun otherwise one side would cook and the other freeze.

There are then a number of variables, spin, size, climate, water, atmosphere etc. However, with billions of stars in a galaxy and billions of galaxies in the universe, the chances of other earth like planets (medium size with atmosphere the right distance from the sun) seems moderately high. Certainly, the evidence seems to suggest that planets are the norm rather than the exception and therefore the accretion processes described in other posts above also descibe the process that many, if not all stars, go through when forming. If, as is possible, the size and type of planet are not fixed then there will be many solar systems not suited to life. If the formation of planets is more fixed, that is small hot ones near sun, medium rocky ones a bit further away and gas giants in the outer circle then most solar systems might have the conditions to support life. As more planets are discovered a pattern in planet formation may be determined.
