If i m not mistaken, isn't there a verse in Quran

It is not 'planets'.
There is a verse in the Qur'an which says that Prophet Yousuf 'alayhis-salaam saw 11 stars in his dream.

The moon has no atmosphere and no liquid water, so it's very hard for life to exist there. However, Earth bacteria were found living on part of the lunar lander, so it is possible for life to survive.

YUSUFALI: Behold! Joseph said to his father: "O my father! I did see eleven stars and the sun and the moon: I saw them prostrate themselves to me!"
PICKTHAL: When Joseph said unto his father: O my father! Lo! I saw in a dream eleven planets and the sun and the moon, I saw them prostrating themselves unto me.
SHAKIR: When Yusuf said to his father: O my father! surely I saw eleven stars and the sun and the moon-- I saw them making obeisance to me.

2 beats 1, so i will go with stars then. :D

Quick question if there's no gravity in space then why do astriods,comets, ect travel so fast wouldn't just float in space?

they get caught up in the suns or jupiter's gravity allowing them to move at great speed. remember the NASA scientists used the jupiters gravity to speed up the spacecraft when going to uranus and neptune. scientists used the gravity of the sun and jupiter lots of times to speed things up. Gravity has become a great tool today for scientists.

Question : Why do scientists only go for Mars? Why don't scientists look for life on Venus? Venus is also neighbouring planet of earth, so why not find there? ^o)

Venus was one of the first planets that a probe was sent to in seach of life. It was discovered that the surface temperature is extremly hot, I believe it is something like 700 or 800 Degress F, also it turned out that the dense clouds that were thought to be water vapor are a very hot layer of some very nasty gases and no water. There is no indication that there is any liquid water on Venus as the place is way to hot for water except in the form of surper-heated steam.
 
the originaly definition of planet as known by the ancient Greeks and Romans (The word Planet is from one of them) was wanderer. It was known that the stars posistion was fixed in relation to each other. However there were a few odd balls that wandered all over the place in relationship to the Stars, these were:

Mercury
Venus
Mars
Jupiter
Saturn

They were felt to be wanders in the sky so were called Planets, which means wanderers.

Todays definition of planet will be whatever the astronomers decide it to be.

To me this is a good example of the wisdom for the Qur'an to be in Arabic. The definitions have not changed since it was written. English words change definition with nearly every generation.

Yes, gravity is so interesting.
The gravity at the poles of the earth is greater than the gravity at the equator.
Bcuz the poles are more closer to the centre of gravity of the earth than the equator.
Thats why, we see that there is a big difference of football matches played in European countries to that of equatorial countries.
In European countries, the football comes down quicker and bounces less after a kick, whereas in equatorial countries the ball keeps bouncing for quite a long time. ;D Interesting.
 
Did you know that your weight on the moon would be 1/6 th your weight on the earth. :rollseyes
 
:giggling: Who gave the name aliens ? Life on Mars has not yet been found. Then where have these aliens come from ? ;D
 
^ alien just means 'foreigner'... it was a word mainly (still is) used to describe ppl who are foreign to a land....... and then it got used for the space we hear about
 
No planets.

:sl:
I ate all the planets and stuff.

:D

If you know the point of this post please tell me. I think it was supposed to be funny in a n00by sort of way...
