developed to explain how the planets‚ the sun‚ and even the stars orbit around the earth. Why the geocentric view was a natural one to assume? It was a view of stationary earth and moon‚ planets and sun revolving around it. Ptolemy devised the geocentric theory when it reached its pinnacle with the system. The early Greeks observed the sky and all that it contained. From their observations‚ the Greeks believed the Earth was the center of the moon‚ Sun‚ and the only known planets at that time‚ Mercury

their kingdoms freedom and wealth that they had. Meanwhile in a galaxy not so far away two scientists Pinhead and Pedro of a random distant planet had discovered a technology to jump time and space so they could travel to any planet they wanted and were looking for a happy planet to conquer to celebrate this achievement. These scientists were rewarded with a planet each along with a shampoo named after them and the power to lead this joyous attack of celebration. Little known fact about the people in

The planets were scattered throughout the galaxy. Then the being that was inside named Atlas came out and headed towards earth since he was near the planets. Atlas then started pulling things out a small bag that he contained around his waist. He pulled out things that looked like little mountains. Atlas then threw the

and why is it important? Space exploration is scientific studies using scientific equipment in space and anything about it. There are different reasons why space exploration is important. We could discover new resources from other planets or the moon‚ other planets can be could be used when something happens to the earth and we need another place to stay on. Occupation Space exploration is a well-paid job because it could be very dangerous. You also have to study hard and get good

Some people say if we travel around space and find a habitable planet that it will further the arms races which might start a galactic war for the found habitable planet. They think this way by cause of what has happened before with huge moments in history‚ like the atomic bomb starting the hydrogen bomb race with Russia (Obama et al.). Otherwise‚ If we travel space

Question 3 Which of the following best explains why we can rule out the idea that planets are usually formed by near-collisions between stars? Stellar near-collisions are far too rare to explain all the planets now known to orbit nearby stars. Question 4 According to our present theory of solar system formation‚ which of the following objects now reside quite far from the place where they formed

ONE Saturn is the second largest planet in the Solar System after Jupiter. It is so big that Earth could fit into it 755 times. FACT TWO Saturn is a slightly smaller version of Jupiter‚ with similar‚ but less distinctive‚ surface patterns. Its only main difference is its amazing rings. FACT THREE Saturn’s rings may be particles of an old moon orbiting the planet‚ smashed apart in a collision about 50 million years ago. FACT FOUR Saturn’s rings orbit the planet at different tilts. Sometimes‚ they

states that planets move in elliptical orbits with the sun at one focus. Think of the elliptical shape as a part of a cone. This is the shape of the orbit that becomes an inverse square force‚ which is an intensity in the gravity field. The eccentricity is the ratio of the distance between the foci to the major axis of the ellispe‚ which is basically the orbit of each planet. Since the formula is Ra= a(1+e) and Rp= a(1-e)‚ when e=0 for the orbit‚ we can then calculate the orbit for each planet. These
