I am from India and their are too many power cuts , so i have decided to setup solar system instead of buy a generetor or invertor , and can any one tell me which company in India supply Solar system setup for home

Does our knowledge of the solar system give us a better chance of surviving such a catastrophe? Geologists generally agree that the Earth has been hit many times by other objects in the solar system, and most predict that another object will again strike the Earth in the near future. Does our knowledge of the solar system give us a better chance of surviving such a catastrophe? How? What other benefit is it to know the solar system better? How can the position of sun, moon, and planets help us to know our position on Earth? How does knowing the conditions on other planets help us to appreciate Earth? Could there be life on other bodies in our solar system? Why or why not?

How did the solar system get created? I know the scientific understandings of how the solar system was started, by why, and who/what created the solar system? Explain yourself. If you think it was god, who is god? Explain yourself.

How can I install a solar heating system on my new pool? We just signed with the pool company today and they will begin the work to install an inground pool in our yard. I've asked that they put in the necessary plumbing so that we can add the solar system later (paying approx $400 for 3 pipes?). How difficult is it to do this? Is this something relatively simple/straightforward? I should add that we have a computer control panel, so according to our pool man, we should be able to hook up to it and have it controlled remotely. So my question is, once it's stubbed for solar, what are the next steps and best cost approach? Any guidance is greatly appreciated!

How wide is the solar system in light years? Assuming the distance from heliopause to heliopause, what is the width of our solar system at its widest, in light years? Also, what is that same distance in astronomical units?

WHY DOES A SOLAR POWER SYSTEM COST SO MUCh? I am shopping for a solar system and am tired of reading through the b/s. Everyone has the same spin of saving energy to get credit on the utility bill but the systems are 30-50k! with the rebates already applied. I smell huge mark up here. Does anyone have any tips on shopping for a solar system for a home?

What is the plane of our solar system relative to the plane of our galaxy? I'm curious as to whether or not it presents problems to astronomers who are trying to get data from other galaxies through the plane of the Milky Way. Even if our solar system was at a 90° angle to the Milky way, is it even significant enough to get different views of the universe at different times of the year? Also, how many gazillions of years does it take our solar system to complete an orbit in our galaxy?

Where did the gravitational force in the Solar system originate from? Where did the gravitational force in the Solar system originate from? What is our galaxy revolving around? Please explain in depth because I know the basics My bad, typo What is our Galaxy ROTATING around. If our galaxy is rotating around several massive black holes, 1. The whole galaxy would eventually get sucked into one of these "massive black holes". 2. If Our galaxy was rotating around a black hole, artists would depict the center of our galaxy with a black spot, not a massive ball of light.

What are the top three easiest bodies in the solar system to terra-form? What are the top three bodies (first to third) in our solar system that would be the easiest to turn from uninhabitable to habitable. Take all the planets, moons and other bodies in our solar system into consideration. And by habitable, I mean for a person to walk out side, at least some vegetation and animal to be free outside. And go into some detail, if you want, on how the terra-forming would be done with today’s technology and resources.

How have our ideas about the solar system changed? How have our ideas about the solar system changed, throughout the centuries?

Consider the accidental occurrences in the formation of the solar system? Consider the accidental occurrences in the formation of the solar system. These should be events that occurred after the solar nebula started to collapse. Pick two of them and discuss how the solar system would be different. How would that affect the development of life?

What would happen to our solar system if our galaxy collided with the Andromeda galaxy? Yeah, I know this event is supposed to happen in roughly 10 billion years and that our sun will have burnt out some 6 billion years prior to that. However, for the sake of argument, lets say that our solar system, sun and even human civilization were intact when this event were to happen. What would happen to our solar system, or indeed our planet? Would gravitational forces pull our solar system apart? Would our planet be captured by another sun, or our solar system grab additional planets? Would there be any collisions with other planets and or stars? By all means, please feel free to engage in heavy physics if you feel the need.

Which natural satellites in the solar system do you find beautiful? I've always been interested in the solar system's natural satellites (or moons), and how varied and unique each one is. We have so many worlds to explore in the future. So, which one do you think is the most beautiful or your favourite? Why?

Why is Earth the only inhabitable planet of the solar system? What event/condition made Planet Earth the only inhabitable one? Is it because of its distance from the sun? Why do all the other planets in the solar system have totally different and uninhabitable atmosphere/ environment than that of Earth?

Why are all planets in our solar system basically on the same plane? Can anyone explain why all the planets in our solar system seem to be basically on the same plane? If everything is random, this seems too co-incidental. Would the gravatational influence of the other planets have pulled all the planets into a similar plane?

If a stray planet entered our solar system, is there anything we could do to get rid of it? Say a stray planet entered our solarsystem and was heading for earth, about the size of mars, is there anything we could do or are we just doomed to watch it destroy us. Also, on a tangent, would would happen if a white dwarf entered our solar system heading for our sun, what would happen? Also what would happen when the white dwarf passed different planets?

How did each of the major planets in the solar system get its name? How many moons are known in the solar system? What are comets and asteroids?

Is ours the only planet in the solar system that is getting warmer? I read in a magazine that other planets in the solar system are also warming up, has anyone else heard of this. If so what would cause this to happen as there are no humans anywhere else to cause pollution. one point the article did mention was the shrinking of the polar ice caps on mars, just like earth

What are technically the boundaries of our solar system? Is it just the area beyond our 9 planets? or is it really 8 now? so past Neptune would be out of our solar system? What do you think?

Why do all objects of the inner solar system rotate the sun on relativley the same plane? In the outer solar system, which is called the Oort Cloud, objects rotate randomly. So why do objects that are closer to the sun rotate on the same plane?

Is there any spacecraft on the way to leave our solar system? In other words, can you give me the name, and date of launch, or plans of a spacecraft that will leave our solar system. Please give me a URL, too.

How much Uranium is there in our solar system? Also, I find it hard to believe our entire solar system was created by a red dwarf, I know carbon can only be produced at lower temperatures but could a red dwarf really become a yellow star and produce the gas giants in our own solar system?

Is the temperature of the planets in our solar system rising? We all know that data shows that the earth's temperature is currently rising, but is there any detailed and trusted data on what has been happening to the temperature of the other planets in our solar system, and the associated moons, etc?

Why do all planets in our solar system go around the sun in the same way? Looking at a model of our solar system, and I'm using the term 'horizontal' just so it's easier for me to comprehend, but pretty much everything goes around the sun horizontally. Someone told me this is because that's the way the sun is turning and all planets have to follow that. Is this true? And using this same model as a visual image and the three dimensions of space, could it ever be possible for a planet to orbit vertically or even the opposite direction of the other planets in a system? Thoughts?

Will the planets of the Solar System decelerate when the Sun burns out? The Sun will become a white, then brown dwarf, not enough mass to accumulate outer gravitation. Wouldn't solar system bodies slowly decelerate and drift further out from their general orbits?

How do you make a solar system model with house hold products? I need to make a solar system model but i don't wanna spen a lot of money i thought about foam balls on a clothes hanger buy i can't find any anyone got any ides please help its for my daughters science fair project .

How do you find the solar system in Spore? Our solar system is somewhere in spore, but how do you find it for those of you who have gotten that far already.

How is the plane of our solar system oriented compared to the plane of our galaxy? In other words, does the diameter of our solar system lie parallel to the diameter of the Milky Way galaxy, like two dinner plates lying on a table? Or, are we closer to perpindicular, as if one of the dinner plates were standing on end? ANOTHER THOUGHT -- I just realized that we should be able to make an educated guess. The elliptic is path planets make across our sky. Since all planets are (approximately) in the same plane, the elliptic should represent the plane of our solar system viewed from earth. Likewise, the Milky Way should represent the plane of our galaxy viewed from Earth, with its center towards Saggitarius. Maybe we could estimate it by the angle between the elliptic and the Milky Way.

How do we know that our solar system is not the only exisinting planets? Because the closest stars are millions of years away how do we know they are not already gone leaving just earth and our solar system alive today?

What questions would you ask an alien if they had to relocate to our solar system? if aliens had to relocate to our solar system because their sun was dying and they needed somewhere to live, what questions would you ask them? Pleeze & Thanx, if possibly could the questions contain some facts about space?

How many planets are now in the solar system and what are thier names? Yeah yeah, we've all heard scince 3rd grade that the 9 planets in our solar system are mercury, venus, earth, mars, jupiter, saturn, neptune, uranus, and pluto. But now they've removed pluto, and added planets in between mars and jupiter, and after uranus, and I'm very confused. I do know that there COULD be as many as 53 planets, but only 12 or so have been identifyed and named. How many are there exactly and what are thier names?

What are the 11 dimentions in the solar system? Why are there more than 3 dimentions in the solar system? I can understand 2 and 3 dimentional but what is 4 looks like never mind 11? This was on the stephen hawking show last night.

Is the Milkyway a Solar system or a galaxy? What are Andromeda and the local group? Exactly what is the differance between a solar system and a galaxy? Isn't a galaxy a collection of stars? If so is it known how many galaxies there are? Are they countable?

How did the sun wind up in the middle of the solar system? How did the sun wind up in the middle of the solar system? Did the materials, gas and dust that eventually formed the planets come from the sun?

What should be the name of a science fair project where i build a model of the solar system? I am doing a 2nd graders science project i thought maybe the name should be What Is The Solar System? But what would be my procedures and experiment

How long would it take to get from one side of our sun, the milky way galaxy, our solar system, any size red giant, and any size nebula to the other at the speed of light? how long would it take to get from one side of the solar system to other <including the oort cloud> at the speed of light

Solar system? Scientist are saying that our solar system does not go straight out, but 'bends'. Wouldn't that mean, that at some point it will make almost a full circle back to the beginning?

what is the cost of a solar system sufficient to run my meter backwards? I am looking for the cost of an alternative solar power system which will allow my home to run independent of the power grid. What is the approximate ROI? Not looking to remove myself from the grid completely, but to be able to generate enough to have a total billing from the power company close to $0 (not monthly, but over the course of a year)

What is the most interesting fact that you know about the solar system? Can you name the most interesting fact ever about the solar system? They can be anything that can be easily identified as interesting or funny? Ha. Nice ideas so far but bare in mind I am 13 YEARS old not 13 MONTHS. I was actually thinking along the lines of something to do about the history etc. or something interesting about the solar system.

Do you know much about the Solar System? Can you tell me, have all the planets in our solar system moved into a straight line? I have thought of this and was really curious. If they have done this before, when?, and if not, why won't it happen? You guys are wonderful!!!! Thank you so much for your help and honesty.

Why is Mercury the hottest and coldest planet in the solar system? I've read that Mercury is actually the hottest and coldest planet in the solar system since it always has the same face to the sun. I occured to me, however, that with Mercury being as small as it is and composed largely of iron, wouldn't the radiant heat from the sun facing side warm the surface sufficiently so that it would be at least warmer than say Neptune which is much further from the sun?

Why do we believe that the Sun is the center of the Solar System when Geocentric Models were so accurate? When the consensus of the scientist needed to show how a Geocentric solar system worked, then developed actual models of a geocentric solar system. These models worked. They accurately explained observations like retrograde motion of the planets. The models worked so well, they were used as proof that the Earth was in fact the center of the universe. After all, who could argue against the facts when they could see the model with their own eyes? So why don't we accept Geocentric Universe? The models were very accurate! Shouldn't we just accept the models?
