Choose the best answer to each of the following. Explain your reasoning.
Which lists the Jovian planets in order of increasing distance from the Sun? (a) Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, (b) Saturn , Jupiter, Uranus , Neptune (c) Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.

The list of Jovian planets in order or increasing distance from the Sun.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Solar system is a family of Sun. Planets, their moons, asteroids, comets, etc. revolve around the sun in elliptical orbits. It was formed about 4.5 billion years ago from the Solar nebula. Solar system has total eight planets. It has four inner planets and four outer planets and in between lies the asteroid belt.
The first four inner planets are terrestrial- Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. These are composed of metallic rocks.
The next four outer planets are Jovian Planets-Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. They are composed of gases, majorly hydrogen and helium. Jovian planets are larger in size as compared to terrestrial planets.
Planets in the increasing order of distance from Sun
- Mercury
- Venus
- Earth
- Mars
- Jupiter
- Saturn
- Uranus
- Neptune
Option a is − Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus
Option b is − Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune
Option c is − Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune
Thus, Jovian planets in the increasing order of distance from the Sun are: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. Option c is correct.
Conclusion:
The Jovian planets arranged in order of increasing distance from the Sun are: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.

- A man holds a double-sided spherical mirror so that he is looking directly into its convex surface, 33 cm from his face. The magnification of the image of his face is +0.17. What will be the image distance when he reverses the mirror (looking into its concave surface), maintaining the same distance between the mirror and his face? Be sure to include the algebraic sign (+ or -) with your answer.arrow_forwardHow do you draw a diagram of the ruler and mass system in equilibrium identifying the anti-clockwise torque and clockwise torque?

- Did your experiment results in Data Table 3 verify, to within a reasonable experimental error, the condition of equilibrium of Equation 6: Στanti-clockwise = Στclockwise? Support your response with experimental data. What does this Σ mean? My results do not show they are equal to each other, what does this mean then, and what does the data show?
