    Clyde Tombaugh

    Clyde Tombaugh is not exactly a household name even though he discovered something that each and every one of us has learned about. He is accredited with the discovery of the now ex- planet Pluto. Clyde was born in Streator, Illinois February 4, 1907. At a young age his family moved to Kansas to start their own farm. Clyde had planned on going away to college the fall after moving to Kansas, but this was all put on hold when a hailstorm had ruined his families’ entire crop and he was forced to stay home and work on the farm. Clyde, while stuck on the farm, began to become interested in the sky and the stars, and at the age of 20, he started building his own unique telescopes and lenses to observe planets and he would draw what he saw. He would send these drawings of the planets to the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona. This eventually got him a job at the observatory due to his drawings impressing the director of the time Vesto Melvin Slipher. Clyde worked at the observatory from 1929 to 1945 and in this time he made his biggest discovery of finding Pluto in 1930.…

    Why Pluto Should Be Considered A Planet

    In conclusion… (restate thesis)because Pluto is round just like any other planet and shouldn’t be judged by its size, it should still be a planet. Also, because it has a clear orbit. This is because Pluto has not only cleared its path, but it has a greater disadvantage of having objects in its radius. My third reason is because Pluto orbits the sun. Pluto’s orbit has an average distance of 58 km (kilometers) from the sun and is much further away from the sun than Earth is. This is why i think Pluto should be considered a…

    Reclassification Of Pluto As A Dwarf Planet

    The end result was the reclassification of Pluto as a dwarf planet. Pluto is now seen as one of the largest known members of the Kuiper Belt, a shadow the orbit farther off of Neptune populated by a trillion or more comets. Based on what I learned about the nature of science and the properties of Eris and Pluto, I would reclassified Pluto as a dwarf planet as well. Because a dwarf planet is a body that approach to be a small planet but lacking certain technical criteria that are required for it to be classified as large planet while it cannot clear other objects out of its path. Even though, Pluto is small I don’t think they should stop considering it a planet, which is like telling a small or premature person they are not human.…

    Pluto And Venus

    Because we are planetary creatures, when most people think about space colonization they usually envision homes on Mars or perhaps Earth's moon. Colonization of those bodies is in fact much less desirable than orbital colonization, even though Mars and the Moon are the only practical solid bodies suitable for colonization in the solar system, at least for the next few centuries. Venus is far too hot. Mercury experiences extreme temperatures, as the days and nights are so long. Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus have no solid surface i.e. they have a gaseous surface. Pluto is very far away. Comets and asteroids have too little gravity for a surface colony, although some have suggested that an asteroid could be hollowed out. This is…

    Why Planets Are Different Colours

    Mercury has a dark grey, rocky surface which is covered with a thick layer of dust. The surface is thought to be made up of igneous silicate rocks and dust. Venus is entirely covered with a thick carbon dioxide atmosphere and sulphuric acid clouds which give it a light yellowish appearance. Earth shows its blue oceans and white clouds as well as its green and brownish land. Mars is covered with a fine dust which contains iron oxide (rust). This gives Mars its orange colour. Jupiter is a giant gas planet with an outer atmosphere that is mostly hydrogen and helium with small amounts of water droplets, ice crystals, ammonia crystals, and other elements. Clouds of these elements create shades of white, orange, brown and red. Saturn is also a giant gas planet with an outer atmosphere that is mostly hydrogen and helium. Its atmosphere has traces of ammonia, phosphine, water vapor, and hydrocarbons giving it a yellowish-brown color. Uranus is a gas planet which has a lot of methane gas mixed in with its mainly hydrogen and helium atmosphere. This methane gas gives Uranus a greenish blue colour. Neptune also has some methane gas in its mainly hydrogen and helium atmosphere, giving it a bluish color. Pluto (now classified as a dwarf planet) - there are no pictures of Pluto which give us a good view of its surface yet, because it is too far away. Pluto may be covered in ice.…

    Comparison of the Planets

    If we were to look at Earth as a starting point to compare the other eight planets in our solar system, the first thing we notice from space is the magnificent blue color and swirls of clouds. This is an inviting sight and is the first hint at why life is found on our planet. Earth has many features that the other planets do not have. Earth has many features that make it unique. Earth is made of rock and metal. It is one of the four terrestrial planets and has the largest Moon in the solar system. Earth has abundant volcanic activity because of its size in comparison to the other terrestrial planets. With the abundance of water and oxygen, Earth 's atmosphere stays in balance and is able to continue supporting life. The liquid oceans help to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and the presence of a stratosphere helps protect the surface from the deadly ultra-violet rays of the Sun. Another unique feature of Earth is plate tectonics. Plate tectonics acts as giant conveyor belt that moves the mantle of Earth around constantly changing the look of our planet. Although Earth 's interior has not been explored nearly as much, scientists can tell about the composition of the deepest regions of Earth by using seismic waves following an earthquake. By reading this seismic data carefully, scientists get a better understanding of interior Earth.…

    Planet X

    Clyde Tombaugh's discovery of Pluto in 1930 appeared to validate Lowell's hypothesis, and Pluto was officially considered the ninth planet until 2006. In 1978, Pluto was found to be too small for its gravity to affect the gas giants, resulting in a brief search for a tenth planet. The search was largely abandoned in the early 1990s, when a study of measurements made by the Voyager 2 spacecraft found that the irregularities observed in Uranus's orbit were due to a slight overestimation of Neptune's mass.[3] After 1992, the discovery of numerous small icy objects with similar or even wider orbits than Pluto led to a debate over whether Pluto should remain a planet, or whether it and its neighbours should, like the asteroids, be given their own separate classification. Although a number of the larger members of this group were initially described as planets, in 2006 the International Astronomical Union reclassified Pluto and its largest neighbours as dwarf planets, leaving only eight planets in the Solar System.[4]…
