    THE SOLAR SYSTEM T The Solar System consists of the Sun and the astronomical objects gravitationally bound in orbit around it‚ all of which formed from the collapse of a giant molecular cloud approximately 4.6 billion years ago. The vast majority of the system’s mass (well over 99%) is in the Sun. Of the many objects that orbit the Sun‚ most of the mass is contained within eight relatively solitary planets whose orbits are almost circular and lie within a nearly flat disc called the ecliptic

    The Solar System The majority of the solar system is made up of the sun and all of the planets that orbit it. There are also moons‚ comets‚ asteroids‚ dust‚ gas‚ and dwarf planets. The sun makes up about 98 percent of our solar system. Because of the suns large mas it pulls every thing in the solar system towards it. The planets orbit around the sun because of the sun pulling it towards it and the planets trying to fly outer space at the same time‚ which balances it out. It was once believed that

    The Origin of the Solar System A cloud of interstellar gas and/or dust (the "solar nebula") is disturbed and collapses under its own gravity. The disturbance could be‚ for example‚ the shock wave from a nearby supernova. As the cloud collapses‚ it heats up and compresses in the center. It heats enough for the dust to vaporize. The initial collapse is supposed to take less than 100‚000 years. The center compresses enough to become a protostar and the rest of the gas orbits/flows around it

    On February 20 2012‚ me and my daughter went to the Gates Planetarium in Denver to see the showing of the Wildest Weather in the Solar System. The first thing we did was to walk around the Space Odyssey and explore some of the exhibit they had. Then we went to see the show which I must say was far more thrilling then I or my daughter could have imagined. When you first walk into the Space Odyssey you are amazed it almost looks as thought your walking on to a spaceship or what I would imagine it

"An Earth-like planet spotted outside our solar system is the first found that could support liquid water and harbor life." This comes from a NASA researcher. New life on other planets could mean so much for the future of humans. The only way to keep finding out new information about our solar system and beyond is to spend money to research it. The only

    Earth is the only planet in our solar system that sustains life‚ and therefore one of the most intriguing planets because of its capabilities. Each of the seven other planets that orbit the same sun as Earth is interesting in its own way. Some planets share similar characteristics to those found on Earth‚ while other planets are completely different. An analysis of these terrestrial bodies‚ using comparative planetology‚ will allow us examine these qualities. However‚ before beginning such a process
