Three of the more obvious effects of gravity are things falling down‚ weight‚ and the the moon and planets staying in their orbits. Things fall down. People have generally grown to accept that if one lets go of one ’s prized and valuable textbook when walking through a mud puddle‚ the book will invariably end up in the puddle and therefore be

Astronomy is a natural science that is the study of celestial objects (such as moons‚ planets‚ stars‚ nebulae‚ and galaxies)‚ the physics‚ chemistry‚ mathematics‚ and evolution of such objects‚ and phenomena that originate outside the atmosphere of Earth‚ including supernovae explosions‚ gamma ray bursts‚ and cosmic background radiation. A related but distinct subject‚ cosmology‚ is concerned with studying the universe as a whole.[1] Astronomy is one of the oldest sciences. Prehistoric cultures

These additional gasses are disrupting and upsetting the natural balance of our atmosphere‚ trapping more heat then is healthy for our planet Earth But how can we tell this is happening ?

In fact‚ if it had been about eighty times more massive‚ it would have become a star rather than a planet. Jupiter has got a count of total moon of 49.

Neptune is the eighth and farthest planet from the Sun in the Solar System. Named for the Roman god of the sea‚ it is the fourth-largest planet by diameter and the third largest by mass. Neptune is 17 times the mass of Earth and is slightly more massive than its near-twin Uranus‚ which is 15 times the mass of Earth but not as dense.[12] On average‚ Neptune orbits the Sun at a distance of 30.1 AU‚ approximately 30 times the Earth–Sun distance. Its astronomical symbol is ♆‚ a stylized version of the
