Approximately 557 Earth years is equal to 1 Eris year. Eris has a diameter between 2‚400 and 3‚000 km. Eris plays a big part in our Solar System and is important to us because it is the largest object and the largest dwarf planet to be found orbiting the sun since 1846‚ when Neptune and its moon Triton was discovered. In conclusion‚ Eris is the 10th planet in our solar system and is rocky unlike many planets before it. References: • Dwarf Planets; UB313 or Eris http://sse.jpl.nasa.gov/planets/profile

The Size of the Solar System Overview • Become familiar with the scale of the planets vs. their distances. • Get an overview of the solar system. Introduction It is easy to flip to the index of an astronomy textbook to discover that‚ say‚ the Sun lies 150 million kilometers away from Earth. It is far more difficult (if not impossible)‚ however‚ to picture this distance in the human mind. In this exercise‚ we will learn to access the often unpalatable distances encountered in astronomy

Solar System Our solar neighborhood is an exciting place. The Solar System is full of planets‚ moons‚ asteroids‚ comets‚ minor planets‚ and many other exciting objects. Learn about Io‚ the explosive moon that orbits the planet Jupiter‚ or explore the gigantic canyons and deserts on Mars. How Did The Solar System form? This is an important question‚ and one that is difficult for scientists to understand. After all‚ the creation of our Solar System took place billions of years before there

Planets and moons in our solar system share many similar properties‚ but there are also many ways they are different. Some of the main differences come with the different geologic activity‚ composition‚ interior structure‚ magnetic field‚ and atmosphere that distinguish some planets and moons from others. The first way to separate the planets as far as their surfaces is breaking them into their two categories. The Jovian planets (Jupiter‚ Saturn‚ Uranus‚ Neptune) are primarily composed of gas and

Inside the Solar System: Comet C/2011 N3 PSC 103 - Astronomy Summer 2012 According to an article written in early January Scientific American (Matson‚ 2012)‚ on July 6th‚ for the first time ever‚ a sun-watching spacecraft has traced a comet’s route directly into the sun. The magazine boasts this as the “Solar Swan Song” (Matson‚ 2012) and compares this comet’s demise to dramatic exits in the movie Dr. Strangelove. Discovered by the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory‚ otherwise known as SOHO

Solar Nebular Hypothesis The idea behind the Solar Nebular Hypothesis is that the solar system was condensed from an enormous cloud of hydrogen‚ helium‚ and a few other elements and rocks. Around five billion years this cloud of materials began to spin and contract together into a disk shape under their own gravitational forces. The particles started combined together‚ protoplanets‚ to eventually form planets. A great mass of the material eventually began to form together‚ protosun‚ and make
