Is it possible to travel to Neptune?
One Voyage There Voyager 2 is the only spacecraft to have visited Neptune. No spacecraft has orbited this distant planet to study it at length and up close.
Which planet has the longest day?
Venus It was already known that Venus has the longest day — the time the planet takes for a single rotation on its axis — of any planet in our solar system, though there were discrepancies among previous estimates.
Why are planets so far apart?
The sun's gravity is so strong that it has sucked in almost all the gas in the neighborhood leaving only the small terrestrial planets. Farther away gas giant's gravity is strong enough to overcome sun's gravity to hold on to its gaseous mass.
Where is Voyager 1 now?
interstellar space NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft is currently over 14.1 billion miles from Earth. It's moving at a speed of approximately 38,000 miles per hour and not long ago passed through our solar system's boundary with interstellar space.
