if it behaves like a planet‚ then it should be classified as a planet. I am going to talk about a past situation that had a big impact on the final decision in “kicking pluto out”. In 1801‚ a icyrocky body similar to Pluto was discovered between Jupiter and Mars named Ceres. A year later Ceres had its planethood revoked because it was very obvious that it really was just the largest member of what is now called the asteroid belt. If Ceres doesn’t get to be called a planet neither should pluto. They

What is the smallest planet? The largest planet? 3. Why does the Jupiter have more moons while Venus and Mercury have no moons at all? 4. Why is there a negative sign on the revolution of Venus? 3.

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

Superior to Humans Extraterrestrial bodies are far more advanced than humans on Earth and are capable of exceptional feats on an everyday basis. In this research paper‚ I will be discussing the possibilities of extraterrestrial aliens in our solar system. I will describe the reasons to why extraterrestrial bodies have a far more advanced physical makeup as well as mental abilities that are out of the realm for any humans on Earth. I will explain the possible outcomes that might happen if aliens

Maryssa Buffano Miss Arnold Science – Current Astronomer Essay 4/12/2011 JMJ Dr. Debra Fischer – Astronomer An astronomer is an astrophysicist who studies stars‚ planets and galaxies. Astronomers use the laws of physics to investigate the matter and energy of celestial bodies. They then apply the research findings to solve space navigation and communication problems and even discover new planets and stars. In 1512‚ Copernicus theorized that the planets orbit the sun and the race

As Team Leader of the Deep Freeze Folk‚ it was my responsibility to organize all of the research pooled together by my Technical Advisor and Systems Engineer and compile it into a presentation that was not only accurate and educational‚ but a little fun too. This is the last quarter of my undergraduate degree‚ and along with nearly six years in the Army Reserves and a ton of presentations under my belt‚ I have found that getting people to laugh helps foster attention and learning.

theory in Dialogue on the Two Great Systems if the World. Galileo was the first to use a telescope to look at stars and planets. Using the telescope‚ Galileo was able to prove that Earth rotated on its axis‚ and that Jupiter’s moons revolved around Jupiter‚ proving that not everything revolves around the earth. When Galileo published his ideas‚ it caused a major chaos. Because his work contradicted scripture‚ the church was very disapproving. In 1663‚ Galileo was sent to Rome to recant his beliefs.

Introduction: Searching for extra-solar planets is not a very easy task. Because most of the times we find them by not actually looking at them but by the effects they produce mainly on the star around which they are rotating. It is because planets look like just a dull spec of light through a telescope. The distance between us and a nearby planet is very large. In our scale model it will be like looking at a dust particle in Thunder Bay Ontario if we are sitting in Halifax with our telescope. That’s
