Astronomy????

What planet in our solar system has a density less than oneWhere is Olympus Monswhich planet is 13 light min away from the sunWhich planet has a surface temp of -153 and which planets temp ranges form -13 c to 37 ci looked all over the internet, but can't find any answers to these..please help!

I'd guess the planet with a density less than one would be jupiter since it's made of gas. The rest I don't know.

I believe the answer to the first one is Saturn. I seem to recall hearing it could float on water.Olympus mons is a huge volcano on MarsI believe Mars is also the answer to the 13 light minute question. Light reaches Earth in about 9 minutes. Mars is the next planet out.Not sure about the last one. You should be able to find all of those easily on the Internet.

Since the Earth is 8 light minutes from the sun, my best guest would be Mars is 13 light minutes.As for the temperature question, the Earth is the only planet that has a temperature range of -13c to 37c, although it can get more or less than that. Venus and Mercury are much hotter, and Mars is much colder. One of Jupiter's or Saturn's moons might fall into that range though.

The planet with a surface temperature of -153°C is Jupiter (edit: by surface temperature, it means the average temperature at the top of Jupiter's clouds). Also, it is not the one with a density less than 1 g/cm3. Saturn is the correct answer.The others got the rest of the questions right.By the way, in the link I have as the source, the temperatures look kind of messed up because the degree sign looks like a zero.

They are answered correctly above. I'll leave it to you to decide exactly which are correct.I find it hard to believe that typing <olympus mons> into any search bar wouldn't get you what you wanted.

density less than one is SATURNwater is the densiy of 1 saturn is the only planet that would float if you found a bathtub big enough to put it inOlympus Mons is on Marslargest valcano in the solor systemwhich planet is 13 light min away from the sunearth is 8 light min from the sun , so my guess would be mars the 4 th planet from the sunWhich planet has a surface temp of -153 c bet they were thinking of pluto when the posed this question.pluto is not a planet anymore. (trick question?)mars ranges from -63 c to 20c mercuy, venus and earth are warmer than thatthe rest are gas with no surface, i bet they were thinking of pluto when the posed this question.p.s. jupiter, saturn and neptune are gas planets, they have no "surface" to measure the temp of.witch planets temp ranges form -13 c to 37 c-13 ºC = 8.6 ºF and 37 ºC = 98.6 ºF earth has those ranges ...... although they are not limits
