The objects in the asteroid belts that are contained within the Solar System affect life on Earth today. These asteroid belts are the main asteroid belt and‚ the Kuiper Belt. Since these belts contain so many objects‚ there is diversity present within the objects. The asteroid belts consist of many categories of asteroids‚ the sizes of which‚ can vary greatly‚ ranging from a few meters to miles long. However‚ the mass of all discovered asteroids is still less than Earth’s mass. This is logical since

planets‚ the formation of planetary rings‚ how the asteroid belt got there‚ the formation of Earth’s moon‚ and the unusual rotation of the planet Uranus. Proper understanding of each of these discoveries and theories is important when learning about our universe. Planetary Accretion Planetary accretion has two main theories on how the planets in our solar system were formed. The first of the two is the Solar Nebular Disk Model; this is where our Solar System’s planets started out as small pieces and

MINOR MEMBERS OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM ASTEROIDS Asteroids are small rocky bodies that have been likened to “flying mountains.” The largest‚ Ceres‚ is about 1000 kilometers in diameter‚ but most are only about 1 kilometer across. The smallest asteroids are assumed to be no larger than grains of sand. Most asteroids lie between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. They have orbital periods of three to six years. Some asteroids have very eccentric orbits and travel very close to the sun‚ and a few larger

modeling systems for which simple closed form analytic solutions are not possible. There are many different types of computer simulation; the common feature they all share is the attempt to generate a sample of representative scenarios for a model in which a complete enumeration of all possible states of the model would be prohibitive or impossible. Computer models were initially used as a supplement for other arguments‚ but their use later became rather widespread. The Solar System consists of

AQUA-MARIE Solar System Nebular Hypothesis. According to the nebular hypothesis‚ these clouds collapsed from some kind of turbulence that caused it to heat up and eventually turn into a star. My understanding of the origin and evolution of the solar system is still very limited. Development is made by pushing through the scientific process of hypothesis‚ prediction‚ measurement‚ theory‚ and hypothesis. However‚ there is still a lot of guesswork to be tested before we can really talk about

The Solar System The solar system still to this day one of the most fascinating subjects of study in the science world. In our time‚ we are one of the first generations to see the planets of our solar system up close‚ and we have been able to view evolution of these planets through time. Our solar system consists of a middle aged star called the Sun‚ 9 planets‚ about 100 moons‚ thousands of asteroids‚ millions of icy bodies‚ and many comets revolving around all of it. We can begin by looking

SOLAR SYSTEM About 5 Billion years ago‚ y There was no Sun‚ no Earth& no Moon y Only cosmic dust and gasses drifted in the darkness of space SOLAR SYSTEM THEORY The solar system was formed by a slowly spinning cloud of gas and cosmic dust‚ gradually the cloud began to spin faster and faster this formed a large spinning whirl at the centre and smaller whirls surrounding it at various distances. SOLAR SYSTEM THEORY The huge and heavy centre became hot enough to start thermo nuclear

________________________________________ My topic is Asteroids. Here‚ i am going to explain the various terms of asteroids ‚ like what are asteroids?‚ how these are formed?‚ classification of asteroids. I will be giving views‚ about‚ Ceres which is the largest known asteroid till now in term of size and also the smaller one. I will be telling about “near earth asteroids”. Some impacts on earth‚ when it slammed into the earth. ASTEROIDS ________________________________________
