Mercury And Pluto Similarities
Mercury: Both Mercury and Pluto are very small planets.

Venus: Venus has acid rain on it and Pluto does not.

Earth: Earth is habitable and has water While Pluto is too far away for heat to reach it

Mars: mars is a Gas-Giant while Pluto is an Ice-Giant

Jupiter: Jupiter is the largest planet while Pluto is so small it's a dwarf planet

Saturn: Saturn has rings while Pluto does not

Uranus: All immature jokes aside Pluto and Uranus are both Ice-Giants

A dwarf planet is a planetary objects which is spherical but has other objects around and is not a natural satellite.

A planet is a planetary object that has cleared all the objects from around it, is mostly spherical, orbits the sun, and is not a natural satellite.

    There are a few notable differences between terrestrial and jovian planets. Terrestrial planets are smaller in size and mass and jovian planets are larger in size and mass. Terrestrial planets are mostly made of rocks and metals, while jovian planets are mostly made of hydrogen, helium, and hydrogen compounds. This is why jovian planets are nicknamed “gas giants.” Terrestrial planets have solid surfaces which are warmer because they are closer to the Sun. Jovian planets have no solid surfaces and have cooler temperatures because they are farther from the Sun.…

    Similarities Between Europa Ganymede And Callisto

    Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto are just three of Jupiter’s 63 known moons. These three moons are special, as scientists believe that there could be marine life on them. Scientists realized that Io, another moon to Jupiter, was heated internally by tidal heating. Tidal heating occurs through friction when orbital and rotational energy are dissipated as heat in the ocean or the interior of a planet. From this information, scientists concluded that the other Galilean moons must also be heated internally by tidal heating. It was found that Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto also have large bodies of water which are mostly frozen. This information along with tidal heating, help scientists believe there is marine life on Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto.…

    Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and is the most massive planet in our solar system. It has an equatorial diameter of 143,000 kilometers. It is 11.2 times the size of earth and has a mass 318 times the size of Earths. You could also fit almost 1400 Venus's inside Jupiter. Jupiter has an enormous magnetic field, has 63 moons, and it also has rings which form a miniature solar system of its own. Jupiter is made primarily of the gasses hydrogen and helium which makes Jupiter's atmosphere similar to the suns, "it is a big ball of gas". Jupiter rotates west to east and its rotation is so fast that it bulges out at its equator and it takes 11.85 years to orbit once around the sun. One day on Jupiter compared to that of Earths lasts just 9.9 hours. where as a day on Venus lasts 243 days. Jupiter is usually the second brightest planet we can see and it can often be seen all night.…

    Should Pluto Be Considered A Planet

    Pluto should not be considered a planet to me because it doesn’t have a cleared orbit. Pluto should stay a dwarf planet because it is the smallest planet in the solar system. Also Pluto’s moon is bigger than it therefore, is often mistaken as a double planet. Pluto shouldn’t be a part of the planets because according to the article “Why Pluto is no longer a Planet” by Fraser Cain the…

    Pluto No Longer a Planet

    The distant, ice-covered world is no longer a true planet, according to a new definition of the term voted on by scientists today "Whoa! Pluto's dead," said astronomer Mike Brown, of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, as he watched a Webcast of the vote. "There are finally, officially, eight planets in the solar system." In a move that's already generating controversy and will force textbooks to be rewritten, Pluto will now be dubbed a dwarf planet. But it's no longer part of an exclusive club, since there are more than 40 of these dwarfs, including the large asteroid Ceres and 2003 UB313, nicknamed Xena—a distant object slightly larger than Pluto discovered by Brown last year. "We know of 44" dwarf planets so far, Brown said. "We will find hundreds. It's a very huge category." A clear majority of researchers voted for the new definition at a meeting of the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in Prague, in the Czech Republic. The IAU decides the official names of all celestial bodies. The tough decision comes after a multiyear search for a scientific definition of the word "planet." The term never had an official meaning before. What Is a Planet Today? According to the new definition, a full-fledged planet is an object that orbits the sun and is large enough to have become round due to the force of its own gravity. In addition, a planet has to dominate the neighborhood around its orbit. Pluto has been demoted because it does not dominate its neighborhood. Charon, its large "moon," is only about half the size of Pluto, while all the true planets are far larger than their moons. In addition, bodies that dominate their neighborhoods, "sweep up" asteroids, comets, and other debris, clearing a path along their orbits. By contrast, Pluto's orbit is somewhat untidy. Astronomers estimate that there are at least 70,000 icy objects, with the samecomposition as Pluto, that measure…

    Jupiter Research Paper

    Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system. It is twice as large as all the other planets combined. It has 28 known satellites. The earliest discovered moons date back to 1610 and were discovered by Galileo. This is of interest because a future mission to Jupiter is named after this astronomer. Most of the remaining moons were discovered in the 20th century with advancement of technology. Some are discovered using better telescopes and others with missions directed towards Jupiter. Some of the more recently discovered moons are yet to be named. All that we know of Jupiter couldn 't possibly have come form just observation. Some have come by spacecraft passing by Jupiter on their way to other missions and some of the most comprehensive…

    After the discovery of Uranus, scientist noticed the orbit was not as it should be in accordance to Newton’s law. Neptune was discovered by Johann Galle on September 23, 1846. Neptune has been visited by the Voyager 2; it flew by the planet on August 25, 1989. It was the first planet to be found by a mathematical prediction. Alexis Bouvard thought the change in Uranus’s orbit changed by gravitational perturbation by an unknown planet.…
