Top 7 Surprising Facts about Solar System

There are some of the facts about our solar system that you must know. They're are so amazing facts. You've never listened these facts. You will be socked after listening these facts. So let's explore solar system.

1) Planets and moon that can float in water: Don't be surprised, there are such planets and moon in our solar system that can float in water. Saturn has a moon named "Hyperion". It has half the density of water and hence can float in water. It's surface looks spongy. You can see the image of this moon below. Amazingly Saturn also has such kind of property. Saturn is made up of more gases than solid. Mostly gases float on water and hence Saturn floats on water. It also has lesser density than water.

2) Eris: Like Pluto solar system has a dwarf planet named Eris. It is 3 times away from Pluto and revolves sun from there. Earth takes 1 year to complete 1 revolves around sun whereas Eris takes 570 years to complete 1 revolution around sun!

3) Asteroids with moon: All of us know that planets have their own moon like Jupiter's Europa, Mars Phobos, etc. Is there any asteroid that has a moon. Generally asteroid don't have any moon but they're smaller than moon. Amazingly, an asteroid named "243 IDA" that has it's own moon named Dactyl. This asteroid is not just one. There are nearly127 asteroids in our solar system that have their own moon.

4) Moon larger than Mercury: Jupiter has nearly 67 moons but "Ganymedene" is largest in all of them. If Ganymedene would be a planet, then it would also not be the smallest planet. Ganymedene is larger than the planet mercury.

5) V77 - 4104: Which is the farthest planet in our solar system including dwarf planets? You would say Pluto. If I would give names of planets distance wise then the planet after Pluto comes Charon, Uaruna, Makemake, Eris then comes a planet named 2012 VP 113. There are many such planets. Moving away a planet comes named V77 - 4104. It was founded on 13 October, 2015. It exists in a belt named Ort Cloud. It is Earth's 500 times away from planet Eris and revolves there. It is nearly 7,500,000,000,000 km away from sun. The strange thing is that astronomer's don't know how these dwarf planets were formed. This is very strange thing because it can be any material that is not discovered. They can also be made up of diamonds, gold or it can also be made up of oxygen and would be like Earth. Unluckily we don't know about it.

6) Mercury is not the hottest planet: Even Mercury is closest planet to Sun the hottest planet in our solar system is Venus. This is because mercury reflects a lot of heat of sun whereas venus traps 90% of the heat of the Sun and hence it becomes the hottest planet. Venus is too much hot and many people don't know this fact.

7) Diameter of Pluto: The diameter of pluto is lesser than the diameter of US. Pluto is so small that it has less diameter than US. This is only reason that pluto is a dwarf planet. It is not a part of our solar system. It does not fit in size of a planet. This is one of the most surprising fact.
