In what orbits the planets revolve around the sun. The planets of the solar system: eight and one

On March 13, 1781, the English astronomer William Herschel discovered the seventh planet in the solar system - Uranus. And on March 13, 1930, the American astronomer Clyde Tombaugh discovered the ninth planet of the solar system - Pluto. By the beginning of the 21st century, it was believed that the solar system includes nine planets. However, in 2006, the International Astronomical Union decided to strip Pluto of this status.

There are already 60 known natural satellites of Saturn, most of which have been discovered using spacecraft. Most of the satellites are composed of rocks and ice. The largest satellite, Titan, discovered in 1655 by Christian Huygens, is larger than the planet Mercury. The diameter of Titan is about 5200 km. Titan orbits Saturn every 16 days. Titan is the only satellite with a very dense atmosphere, 1.5 times that of Earth, and composed mainly of 90% nitrogen, with a moderate methane content.

The International Astronomical Union officially recognized Pluto as a planet in May 1930. At that time, it was assumed that its mass is comparable to the mass of the Earth, but later it was found that the mass of Pluto is almost 500 times less than that of the Earth, even less than the mass of the Moon. Pluto's mass is 1.2 by 10 to 22 degrees kg (0.22 Earth masses). Pluto's average distance from the Sun is 39.44 AU. (5.9 by 10 to the 12th degree km), the radius is about 1.65 thousand km. The period of revolution around the Sun is 248.6 years, the period of rotation around its axis is 6.4 days. Pluto's composition is believed to include rock and ice; the planet has a thin atmosphere composed of nitrogen, methane, and carbon monoxide. Pluto has three moons: Charon, Hydra and Nikta.

In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, many objects were discovered in the outer solar system. It became apparent that Pluto is only one of the largest known Kuiper belt objects to date. Moreover, at least one of the objects in the belt - Eris - is a larger body than Pluto and 27% heavier than it. In this regard, the idea arose not to consider Pluto more as a planet. On August 24, 2006, at the XXVI General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union (IAU), it was decided to henceforth call Pluto not a "planet", but a "dwarf planet".

At the conference, a new definition of a planet was developed, according to which planets are considered to be bodies orbiting a star (and not being a star themselves), having a hydrostatically equilibrium shape and "clearing" the area in the region of their orbit from other, smaller objects. Dwarf planets are considered to be objects orbiting a star, having a hydrostatically equilibrium shape, but not "clearing" the nearby space and not being satellites. Planets and dwarf planets are two different classes of objects in the solar system. All other objects orbiting the sun and not being satellites will be called small bodies of the solar system.

Thus, since 2006, there have been eight planets in the Solar System: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. Five dwarf planets are officially recognized by the International Astronomical Union: Ceres, Pluto, Haumea, Makemake, Eris.

On June 11, 2008, the IAU announced the introduction of the concept of "plutoid". Plutoids are decided to call celestial bodies revolving around the Sun in an orbit whose radius is greater than the radius of the orbit of Neptune, the mass of which is sufficient for gravitational forces to give them an almost spherical shape, and which do not clear the space around their orbit (that is, many small objects revolve around them ).

Since for such distant objects as plutoids it is still difficult to determine the shape and thus the relation to the class of dwarf planets, scientists have recommended temporarily referring to plutoids all objects whose absolute asteroid value (brightness from a distance of one astronomical unit) is brighter than +1. If it later turns out that the object classified as a plutoid is not a dwarf planet, it will be deprived of this status, although the assigned name will remain. The dwarf planets Pluto and Eris were classified as plutoids. In July 2008, Makemake was included in this category. Haumea was added to the list on 17 September 2008.

The material was prepared on the basis of information from open sources

Let us consider how long it takes the planets to complete revolution when they return to the same point of the zodiac where they were.

Periods of complete revolution of the planets

Sun - 365 days 6 hours;

Mercury - approximately 1 year;

Venus - 255 days

Moon - 28 days (ecliptic);

Mars - 1 year 322 days;

Lilith - 9 years old;

Jupiter - 11 years 313 days;

Saturn - 29 years 155 days;

Chiron - 50 years old;

Uranus - 83 years 273 days;

Neptune - 163 years 253 days;

Pluto is approximately 250 years old;

Proserpine is about 650 years old.

The farther a planet is from the Sun, the longer the path that it describes around it. The planets that make a complete revolution around the Sun for a time longer than human life are called high planets in astrology.

If the time of a complete revolution is carried out over the average life span of a person, these are low planets. Accordingly, their influence is different: the low planets mainly have an impact on the individual, on each person, and the high ones mainly affect many lives, on groups of people, peoples, countries.

How the planets turn around

The movement of the planets around the Sun is not in a circle, but in an ellipse. Therefore, during its movement, the planet is at different distances from the Sun: the closer distance is called perihelion (the planet moves faster in this position), the farther one is aphelion (the planet's speed of movement slows down).

To simplify the calculation of the motion of the planets and the calculation of the average speed of their movement, astronomers conventionally accept the trajectory of their movement in a circle. Thus, it is conventionally accepted that the movement of planets in orbit has a constant speed.

Given the different speeds of motion of the planets of the solar system and their different orbits, they seem to the observer scattered across the starry sky. It seems that they are located at the same level. In fact, this is not the case.

It should be remembered that the constellations of the planets are not the same as the signs of the zodiac. The constellations are formed in the firmament by clusters of stars, and the signs of the zodiac are symbols of the section of the zodiac sphere at 30 degrees.

Constellations can occupy an area of \u200b\u200bless than 30 ° in the sky (depending on the angle at which they are visible), and the sign of the Zodiac occupies this area completely (the zone of influence starts from the 31st degree).

What is a parade of planets

There are rare cases when the location of many planets, when projected onto the Earth, is close to a straight line (vertical), forming clusters of planets in the solar system in the sky. If this happens to nearby planets, this is called a small parade of planets, if with distant ones (they can join the neighbors), it is a large parade of planets.

With the "parade", the planets gathered in one place in the firmament, as it were, "collect" their energy into a beam, which has a powerful effect on the Earth: more often and much more pronounced natural disasters occur, powerful and radical transformations in society, mortality increases (heart attacks, strokes, train accidents, accidents, etc.)

Features of planetary motion

If we imagine the Earth stationary in the center, around which the planets of the solar system revolve, then the trajectory of the planets, adopted in astronomy, will be sharply violated. The Sun revolves around the Earth, and the planets Mercury and Venus located between the Earth and the Sun will revolve around the Sun, periodically changing their direction to the opposite - this "backward" movement is denoted by "P" (R) (retrograde).

Finding and between is called the lower opposition, and in the opposite orbit behind - the upper opposition.

The study of the apparent motion of the planets against an unchanging background of the starry sky made it possible to give a complete kinematic description of the motion of the planets relative to the inertial reference frame of the Sun - the star. The trajectories of the planets turned out to be closed curves, called orbits. The orbits are close to circles with the center in the Sun, and the motion of the planets in orbits turned out to be close to uniform. The only exceptions are comets and some asteroids, the distance from which to the Sun and the speed of movement of which vary widely, and the orbits are highly elongated. The distances from the planets to the Sun (orbital radii) and the times of revolution of these planets around the Sun are very different (Table 2). The designations of the first six planets given in the table have been preserved since the time of astrologers.

In reality, the orbits of the planets are not completely circular, and their speeds are not completely constant. An accurate description of the motions of all planets was given by the German astronomer Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) - at his time only the first six planets were known - in the form of three laws (Fig. 199).

1. Each planet moves along an ellipse, in one of the focuses of which is the Sun.

2. The radius vector of the planet (a vector drawn from the Sun to the planet) describes equal areas at equal times.

3. The squares of the orbital times of any two planets are referred to as cubes of the semi-major axes of their orbits.

From these laws, a number of conclusions can be drawn about the forces under the influence of which the planets move. Let us first consider the movement of any one planet. The end of the major axis of the orbit closest to the Sun () is called perihelion; the other end is called the aphelion (fig. 200). Since the ellipse is symmetrical about both of its axes, the radii of curvature at perihelion and aphelion are equal. So, according to what was said in § 27, normal accelerations at these points are related as squares of the planet's velocities and:

(123.1)

Figure: 199. If the planet moves from point to point in the same time as from point to point, then the areas shaded in the figure are equal

Figure: 200. To determine the ratio of the planet's velocities at perihelion and aphelion

Consider the small paths and, symmetric with respect to the perihelion and aphelion and made for the same time intervals. According to Kepler's second law, the areas of the sectors and must be equal. The arcs of the ellipse and are equal to and. In Fig. 200, the arcs are made quite large for clarity. If we take these arcs extremely small (for which the time interval must be small), then the difference between the arc and the chord can be neglected and the sectors described by the radius vector can be considered as isosceles triangles and. Their areas are equal, respectively, and, where and are the distances from aphelion and perihelion to the Sun. Hence, whence ... Finally, substituting this relation in (123.1), we find

. (123.2)

Since at perihelion and aphelion tangential accelerations are equal to zero, then they represent the acceleration of the planet at these points. They are directed towards the Sun (along the major axis of the orbit).

The calculation shows that at all other points of the trajectory the acceleration is directed towards the Sun and changes according to the same law, that is, inversely proportional to the square of the planet's distance from the Sun; therefore, for any point of the orbit

where is the acceleration of the planet, is the distance from it to the Sun. Thus, the acceleration of a planet is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the Sun and the planet. Considering the angle made by the radius vector of the planet with a tangent to the trajectory, we see (Fig. 201) that when the planet moves from aphelion to perihelion, the tangential component of the acceleration, the positive velocity of the planet, increases; on the contrary, when moving from perihelion to aphelion, the planet's speed decreases. At perihelion the planet reaches the highest speed, at aphelion - the lowest speed of movement.

To clarify the dependence of the acceleration of the planet on its distance from the Sun, we used the first two Kepler's laws. This dependence was found because the planets move in ellipses, changing their distance from the Sun. If the planets moved in circles, the distance from the planet to the Sun and its acceleration would not change, and we would not be able to find this relationship.

Figure: 201. When the planet moves from perihelion to aphelion, the force of gravity decreases the planet's speed, when moving from aphelion to perihelion, it increases the planet's speed

But when comparing the accelerations of various planets, one can be satisfied with an approximate description of the motion of the planets, assuming that they move uniformly in circles. Let us denote the radii of the orbits of some two planets by and, and the periods of their revolution by

Substituting the ratio of the squares of the orbital times into formula (123.4), we find

This conclusion can be rewritten as follows: for any planet located at a distance from the Sun, its acceleration

where is the same constant for all planets of the solar system. Thus, the accelerations of the planets are inversely proportional to the squares of their distances from the Sun and are directed towards the Sun.

solar system - these are 8 planets and more than 63 of their satellites, which are opening more and more often, several dozen comets and a large number of asteroids. All cosmic bodies move along their clear directional trajectories around the Sun, which is 1000 times heavier than all bodies in the solar system combined. The center of the solar system is the Sun - the star around which the planets revolve in orbits. They do not emit heat and do not glow, but only reflect the light of the Sun. There are now 8 officially recognized planets in the solar system. Briefly, in order of distance from the sun, we list them all. And now a few definitions.

Planet Is a celestial body that must satisfy four conditions:
1.the body must revolve around the star (for example, around the sun);
2. the body must have sufficient gravity to be spherical or close to it;
3. the body should not have other large bodies near its orbit;
4.the body shouldn't be a star

Star Is a cosmic body that emits light and is a powerful source of energy. This is explained, firstly, by the thermonuclear reactions occurring in it, and secondly, by the processes of gravitational compression, as a result of which a huge amount of energy is released.

Satellites of the planets. The solar system also includes the Moon and natural satellites of other planets, which all of them have, except for Mercury and Venus. More than 60 satellites are known. Most of the satellites of the outer planets were discovered when they received photographs taken by robotic spacecraft. The smallest satellite of Jupiter - Leda - is only 10 km across.

Is a star, without which life on Earth could not exist. She gives us energy and warmth. According to the classification of stars, the Sun is a yellow dwarf. Age about 5 billion years. It has a diameter at the equator equal to 1,392,000 km, 109 times larger than Earth's. The rotation period at the equator is 25.4 days and 34 days at the poles. The mass of the Sun is 2x10, 27 tons, about 332950 times the mass of the Earth. The temperature inside the core is about 15 million degrees Celsius. The surface temperature is about 5500 degrees Celsius. In terms of chemical composition, the Sun consists of 75% hydrogen, and of the other 25% of the elements, most of all helium. Now, in order, let's figure out how many planets revolve around the sun, in the solar system and the characteristics of the planets.
The four inner planets (closest to the Sun) - Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars - have a solid surface. They are smaller than four giant planets. Mercury moves faster than other planets, being burned by the sun's rays during the day and freezing at night. The period of revolution around the Sun: 87.97 days.
Diameter at the equator: 4878 km.
Rotation period (rotation around the axis): 58 days.
Surface temperature: 350 during the day and -170 at night.
Atmosphere: very thin, helium.
How many satellites: 0.
The main satellites of the planet: 0.

More like Earth in size and brightness. Observing her is difficult because of the clouds that envelop her. The surface is a hot rocky desert. The period of revolution around the Sun: 224.7 days.
Diameter at the equator: 12104 km.
Rotation period (revolution around the axis): 243 days.
Surface temperature: 480 degrees (average).
Atmosphere: dense, mainly carbon dioxide.
How many satellites: 0.
The main satellites of the planet: 0.


Apparently, the Earth was formed from a gas and dust cloud, like other planets. Particles of gas and dust, colliding, gradually "grew" the planet. The surface temperature reached 5000 degrees Celsius. Then the Earth cooled down and was covered with hard stone crust. But the temperature in the bowels is still quite high - 4500 degrees. Rocks in the depths are melted and, during volcanic eruptions, pour out onto the surface. Only on earth there is water. That is why life exists here. It is located relatively close to the Sun in order to receive the necessary heat and light, but far enough so as not to burn out. The period of revolution around the Sun: 365.3 days.
Diameter at the equator: 12756 km.
The period of the planet's rotation (revolution around the axis): 23 hours 56 minutes.
Surface temperature: 22 degrees (average).
Atmosphere: Mainly nitrogen and oxygen.
Number of satellites: 1.
The main satellites of the planet: the Moon.

Due to the resemblance to Earth, it was believed that life exists here. But the spacecraft that landed on the surface of Mars showed no signs of life. This is the fourth planet in order. The period of revolution around the Sun: 687 days.
Diameter of the planet at the equator: 6794 km.
Rotation period (revolution around the axis): 24 hours 37 minutes.
Surface temperature: –23 degrees (average).
Atmosphere of the planet: rarefied, mainly carbon dioxide.
How many satellites: 2.
The main satellites in order: Phobos, Deimos.


Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are composed of hydrogen and other gases. Jupiter is more than 10 times the diameter of Earth, 300 times its mass and 1300 times its volume. It is more than twice as massive as all the planets in the solar system combined. How long does it take for the planet Jupiter to become a star? We need to increase its mass 75 times! The period of revolution around the Sun: 11 years 314 days.
Diameter of the planet at the equator: 143884 km
Rotation period (revolution around the axis): 9 hours 55 minutes.
The temperature of the planet's surface is –150 degrees (average).
Number of satellites: 16 (+ rings).
The main satellites of the planets in order: Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto.

It is the number 2 largest planet in the solar system. Saturn is eye-catching thanks to its ring system made of ice, rocks and dust that orbits the planet. There are three main rings with an outer diameter of 270,000 km, but their thickness is about 30 meters. The period of revolution around the Sun: 29 years 168 days.
Diameter of the planet at the equator: 120,536 km.
Rotation period (revolution around the axis): 10 hours 14 minutes.
Surface temperature: -180 degrees (average).
Atmosphere: Mainly hydrogen and helium.
Number of satellites: 18 (+ rings).
Main satellites: Titan.


Unique planet in the solar system. Its peculiarity is that it revolves around the Sun not like everyone else, but "lying on its side". Uranus also has rings, although they are harder to see. In 1986, Voyager-2 flew at a distance of 64,000 km, he had six hours of photography, which he successfully implemented. Circulation period: 84 years 4 days.
Diameter at the equator: 51,118 km.

Main satellites: Titania, Oberon.

At the moment, Neptune is considered the last planet in the solar system. Its discovery took place by means of mathematical calculations, and then they saw it through a telescope. In 1989, Voyager 2 flew by. He captured striking photographs of the blue surface of Neptune and its largest moon, Triton. The period of revolution around the Sun: 164 years 292 days.
Diameter at the equator: 50538 km.
Period of rotation (revolution around the axis): 16 hours 7 minutes.
Surface temperature: –220 degrees (average).
Atmosphere: Mainly hydrogen and helium.
Number of satellites: 8.
Main satellites: Triton.


On August 24, 2006 Pluto lost its planetary status. The International Astronomical Union has decided which celestial body should be considered a planet. Pluto does not meet the requirements of the new formulation and loses its "planetary status", at the same time Pluto passes into a new quality and becomes the prototype of a separate class of dwarf planets.

How the planets appeared. Approximately 5-6 billion years ago, one of the disk-shaped gas and dust clouds of our large Galaxy (Milky Way) began to shrink towards the center, gradually forming the present Sun. Further, according to one of the theories, under the influence of powerful gravitational forces, a large number of dust and gas particles rotating around the Sun began to stick together into balls - forming future planets. According to another theory, the gas-dust cloud immediately disintegrated into separate clusters of particles, which were compressed and compressed, forming the current planets. Now 8 planets revolve around the Sun constantly.

Let's continue talking about the basics of astrology. And today we will consider zodiac and planets... The zodiac is the arena of planetary action. The planets move along a narrow strip of the ecliptic. The zodiac circle has clear boundaries. This happens because the rotation of the planets in the solar system and the Moon around the Sun occurs in the same plane and we, observing this process from the Earth, see celestial bodies in a narrow belt of the signs of the Zodiac.

The 12 signs of the zodiac are equal parts of the ecliptic of 30 degrees each. Let the visible Sun on the celestial sphere be the ecliptic. The movement of all planets in the solar system occurs along the ecliptic.

The zodiac has a beginning - the vernal equinox point (TVP) on March 21, it is the beginning of the sign of Aries.

The summer solstice point (TLS), when the day is the largest of the year in time, corresponds to the beginning of the Cancer sign - 06.21.

The point of the winter solstice (TZS), when the night is the longest and the day is the shortest, corresponds to the beginning of the sign of Capricorn - 21.12.

The vernal equinox point (TVP) is actually now at the very beginning of the sign of Pisces at the end of Aquarius.

For almost 2000 years, this point went along the constellation of Pisces. The period of time when the vernal equinox occurs in a particular constellation is called the epoch (period) of that constellation. The vernal equinox is gradually shifting along the ecliptic.

Gradually, TVR passes into the constellation Aquarius, which is why they say that the era of Aquarius is coming. If the era of Pisces was a symbol of faith, mystery, then the era of Aquarius will become a symbol of the exposure of these mysteries.

Aquarius is a symbol of open knowledge, a symbol of astrology. I think everything that was secret in past centuries, with seven seals, under the heading of secrecy, will become public knowledge and we will be surprised at many things. A complete transition to the Age of Aquarius is possible already in 2017.

As I already mentioned in my articles. The signs of the zodiac and the constellations of the same name are different things, the same as astrology and astronomy.

The circle of constellations and the circle of signs are two different circles independent of each other. The circle of zodiac signs is tied to the seasons and is located within the Tropical Zodiac solar system. And the circle of constellations - the Sidereal Zodiac, is located outside the solar system.

Let's go back to our solar system.

The circle of zodiac signs is a circle of longitudes, each sign in this circle corresponds to a section of longitudes of 30 degrees.

The center of the zodiacal circle is the Earth, man is an observer. From different signs of the zodiac, energy comes to the earth, differing in quality and properties.

We consider and deal not with the true motion of the stars relative to the stars, but with what is visible to us from our planet. The sun and the moon move in the sky relative to the earth in the same direction. The planets revolve around the Sun, but in their apparent motion in the sky relative to the Earth, they perform complex loops and trajectories. At times, the planets seem to be moving in the opposite direction. This movement is called retrograde (backward) and their influence on the Earth changes. The moon and sun are never retrograde. Direct planets act directly, immediately manifesting themselves in the outside world. Retrograde planets act differently and we will discuss what retrograde planets are in the next article, subscribe to.

The planet is a moving star. Therefore, the Sun, although it is a star, is also a planet. The stars are stationary luminaries, the planets are mobile. Each planet controls some sign and can manifest itself most vividly if it is in its sign (in the picture above you see which planet controls which sign). All planets move counterclockwise.

In astrology, there are a great many elements of the horoscope: signs, houses, stars, planets, fictitious planets, asteroids, Arabic dots, major and minor aspects. If we take into account everything that we have when analyzing the horoscope, then it will be possible to find any events in the horoscope. Each fate is individual and in order for us to see exactly this individual fate in the map, with its karma accumulated in past lives, it is enough to take into account the houses of the horoscope, the 10 Black Moon planets and major aspects.

So when constructing a horoscope, we take into account 10 main luminaries.

Functions and properties of the luminaries.

The planets are divided into internal and external. The inner planets do not go far from the Sun, they are the Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars, the maximum deviation of Mercury is 28 degrees, Venus is no more than 48 degrees away from the Sun. The outer planets Saturn, Uranus, Pluto, Neptune, Jupiter.

The sun is a lion characteristic - the desire to take a central position. Describes the center of the human psyche, his inner self. You can define how a person sees the world, how he perceives it (through the prism of his sign). Characterizes waking consciousness, the center of vitality, energy, human health.

Moon - Cancer - mood, feelings, well-being, susceptibility (sensitivity), the ability to adapt, a tendency to change, parental instinct, the ability to show care, attention, calm down. Responsible for the subconscious.

Mercury - Virgo, Gemini - reflects the human mind, rational, organizational skills, intelligence, intellectual capabilities, contacts, connections, sociability. Mercury is the planet of interest. Responsible for speech and writing.

Venus - Libra, Taurus - harmony, beauty, a sense of beauty, a sense of taste, the desire for pacification and peacefulness, interest in art, accumulation and assimilation, talents, skill, finances and things, love and friendship.

Mars - Scorpio, Aries - passion (desire to possess) all volitional qualities, how energetic a person is (physical strength and energy), aggressiveness, hostility, conflict, determination, courage, enthusiasm, enterprise, inspiration.

Jupiter - Sagittarius, Pisces - going beyond borders, striving to expand opportunities, enriching, giving generosity, optimism, travel, wandering, creativity, science, religion, high ideals, questions of morality and justice.

Saturn - Capricorn, Aquarius - is purposeful, the ability to plan, reason and logic, the ability to concentrate, focus, gives depth, foundation. The ability to notice and use, the desire to foresee everything.

Uranus - Aquarius, Capricorn - intuition, foresight, clarification, insight. An informal, extraordinary view of the world, tends to extremes, gives freedom and independence. Perseverance.

Neptune - Pisces, Sagittarius - all secrets, fantasies, dreams, dreams. Deception, duality in everything. Endows with subtle sensitivity, psychologism. Compassion, empathy, spirituality, mercy, justice.

Pluto - Aries - self-affirmation and unification, energy, strength, determination, the ability to win sympathy, the desire for popularity, gives abundance. General, power.

The periods of the passage of the stars of the zodiacal circle.

The moon is the fastest planet in 27 days and it traverses the entire zodiac for 8 hours. It stays in one sign for about 2.5 days.

Sun - the entire zodiac passes in 1 year. Moves from sign to sign once a month on the 22nd or 23rd.

Mercury and Venus, approximately like the Sun, pass through the zodiac in 1 year.

Mars moves through the zodiac for 1 year and 10 months.

Jupiter is 11 years and 10 months old. One sign contains the year.

Saturn moves through the zodiac for 29.5 years.

Uranus is a slow planet - 84 years old.

Neptune - 165 years old.

Pluto is a slow planet moving through the zodiac for 250 years.

The fictitious luminaries are the Black Moon - the farthest point of the Lunar orbit from the Earth, makes a full revolution in 8.85 years (you can find an article about the Black Moon using the search on the site, or by going to the All blog articles page). The Ascending Lunar Node, the Descending Lunar Node, they are opposite each other at a distance of 180 degrees, the period of the Zodiac passage is 18.6 years. They move in the direction opposite to the movement of the Sun and Moon. Let's clarify again: the Black Moon and the Lunar Nodes are not luminaries, but special fictitious points in space.

The quality of the luminaries.

In astropsychology, the Sun, Venus and Jupiter are considered good planets. The Moon and Mercury are considered neutral planets. Mars, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, Pluto are considered evil planets by their properties and action.
