The Titius-Bode Relation (AKA “Bode’s Law”) predicted the size and position of some planets.

Mercury takes 59 days to make a rotation but only 88 days to circle the Sun. That means that there are fewer than 2 days in a year! Venus is the brightest planet in our sky and can sometimes be seen with the naked eye if you know where to look Earth has more exposed water than land. Three quarters of the Earth is covered by water! Mars is the home of “Olympus Mons”, the largest volcano found in the solar system. It stands about 27 kilometers high with a crater 81 kilometers wide. Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system, but it spins very quickly on its axis. A day on Jupiter lasts only 9 hours and 55 minutes. Ack, I get dizzy just thinking about it! Saturn is the second biggest planet, but it’s also the lightest planet. If there was a bathtub big enough to hold Saturn, it would float in the water! Uranus’ axis is at a 97 degree angle, meaning that it orbits lying on its side! Talk about a lazy planet. Neptune was discovered in 1846 (over 150 years ago). Since that time it has still yet to make a complete orbit around the sun, because one Neptune year lasts 165 Earth years! Pluto’s orbit sometimes brings it closer to the Sun than Neptune. It jumped ahead of Neptune on September 5, 1989 and remained there until February, 1999 when it went back to being the farthest. Note: Pluto is no longer considered a planet — instead, astronomers call it a dwarf planet.

I did the same thing when I was in high school.

You should ask the trick question:

What planet is the furthest from our Sun?

Most people will say Pluto even though it was recently considered to have been mistaken for a planet and booted out of the Solar System. So the answer is Neptune.

Also…

The mountains on Mars are 3 times the size of Earth’s Mount Everest.

We recently lost one of our brethren planets and our Solar System has now only 8 planets, although it is believed that there is one more planet waaaaaaaaay past Pluto in orbit around the Sun. Also, we will loose our beautiful Moon someday. Every year the Moon gets 1 foot further from Earth. Sooner or later, Earth will loose its gravitational hold on the Moon and then… bye bye moon. But it doesn’t matter because our Earth spins around its axis not in a perfect spin, but in a wobble. Some believe that the effects of this wobble are manifested in the present warming of our planet, and as a matter of fact, because of this wobble, the Earth will shift magnetic Poles (There is proof that that happened before) and cause tremendous weather changes that will destroy most life in our planet. The Mayan calendar, the Chinese prophetic books, the Egyptians and the Bible itself all seem to agree that that will happen in the year 2012. So, pay your debts for 4.5 more years and then… go get drunk, get laid and charge it all on credit.

‘nough said.

No, no, no. Pluto is a planet. It’s always been a planet, and it’ll remain a planet long after all of us are long gone. That a very small minority of “them” voted Pluto out does not change anything. In this matter as in life in general, you have to decide whom you will accept as an authority.

The moon’s orbit around the earth is expanding; moving over an inch away from earth every year.

Jupiter has the strongest gravitational pull, aside from the sun.

Pluto is not a planet.

You wanted quick.
