of methane in its mostly hydrogen-helium atmosphere. The planet is often known as an ice giant‚ since 80 percent or more of its mass is made up of a fluid mix of water‚ methane‚ and ammonia ices. It’s an extremely cold planet‚ so cold that any living being would ever be able to survive this weather even if they we wore protective suits. Though it is visible to the naked eye like the five original planets‚ it was never recognized as a planet by observers because of its dimness and slow orbit.

Mercury‚ the planet closest to the sun‚ may be shrinking due to the discoveries of MESSENGER. Large scraps were formed when Mercury’s interior cooled‚ causing the planet to contract. Subsequently‚ Mercury is the smallest of all the eight planets in our solar system. Additionally‚ Mercury is a little bigger than Earth’s moon‚ but not by much. Despite Mercury’s small size‚ the planet itself is very heavy. Comparatively‚ Mercury is a lot heavier compared to Earth’s moon. Mercury is named after a

Brahe’s assistant‚ Kepler was given the task of studying and attempting to understand the orbit for planet Mars. The orbit of Mars was particularly difficult because Copernicus had correctly placed the Sun at the center of the Solar System‚ but had erred in his assumption of circular planetary orbits. After numerous experiments and mathematical calculations‚ he finally realized the obits of the planets were in fact not circular as Aristotle had previously insisted and Copernicus assumed correct‚ but

The Planet in Peril Good Afternoon‚ My name is Ashley and I will be speaking on our planet and the dangers that we are facing everyday and have no clue about it. Our planet is in major crises economically and physically. Everyday we hear more bad news about our planet. Reports tell us that wildlife and forests are disappearing at an alarming rate. Newscasts give the latest word on how quickly earth is losing its protective shield and warming up. Newspapers grieve over the pollution of our air

light in the darkest of times. Could you even imagine a world without a moon? A world in which the black of night would only be interrupted by countless stars‚ the sun would be doomed to rise and shine on its own and the earth would be a lonely rocky planet only surrounded by celestial bodies to far away to see with human eyes. In order to research the effects the moon has on different variables‚

the night‚ a gambling game between two forces decided the fate of the world. The pole star‚ Polaris‚ known to the Chumash people as Sky Coyote‚ was in charge of one team; the Sun God led the other team (E.C. Krupp 1983‚ p. 71). While many of the planets were important to the Chumash people‚ Venus was of great significance. Depending on when it rose‚ Venus could have a positive or negative

The first point that Robinson states is that we should explore Mars in an effort to better understand Earth due to similar origins the two planets share. As much as I agree with the importance of

Money and effort spent on space research is counterproductive. Do you agree? Throughout the history of mankind‚ we humans have always been eager to explore the world and space around us. Many developed countries have been funding the research programs aim at developing and improving the technology for space exploration. On the other hand‚ several research programs aim at improving the quality of life and providing the basic necessities of life to needy people have not been implemented due to lack

problem with a sun-centered theory of the universe. What kept such massive bodies like the earth and the planets revolving eternally around the sun? Copernicus had no answer. When it came to explaining the physics (as opposed to the mathematics) of a moving earth‚ Copernicus’s theory was less com- prehensive. On the older earth-centered theory‚ the earth didn’t have to move and the other planets were composed of a totally different kind of material‚ aether‚ whose natural state was to revolve in perfect
