Gabe Bambarakos Mrs.Rowse Borelli English 10-F 12 April 2017 Exoplanets An exoplanet can be defined as a planet that orbits a star outside the solar system. One of the many exoplanets that could possibly be habitable in the near future are far away. For example‚ Kepler-186 is around 500 light years aways to put that in perspective that is around 5‚878‚625‚373‚183.607731 Miles away. That is why we know so little about these planets that could support life on them. Starting off‚ what is some of

planets called planetesimals. 3. Why is the liquid iron core important to the Earth? It produces the magnetic field that protects us from solar and cosmic radiation 4. Where did the Moon come from? The debris from this collision collected in an orbit around Earth to form the Moon. Capture theory - The Moon was a wandering body that formed elsewhere in the solar system‚ captured by Earth’s gravity as it passed close by. 5. What function does the Moon have for Earth?

ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE HUMANS ESSAY Izzy Nahorodny Do other planets in our solar system actually have the criteria to make them habitable if earth becomes unfit for life? The planets around the universe are called Exoplanets. (Clavin) a habitable planet needs water and oxygen‚ along with natural resources‚ though this is for the first start of life.

Pluto is not a planet For my whole life I have been taught that there were exactly 9 planets in the solar system. I had learnt this at a very young age and the number 9 had often been stressed to me. I can’t believe the amount of tests that I had failed on the subject because I had failed to remember one of these planets. My excuse had always been‚ "No! That’s not a planet!".

star of solar systems like our sun must be able to provide the right amount of sunlight to an inhabitable planet. The white dwarf supporting the “Super Earth” is close enough to the planet that the planet’s surface temperature has a range of 30° Fahrenheit to 104° Fahrenheit; conveniently‚ this is close to the surface temperature of our Earth (Spotts). Most importantly‚ surplus amounts of basic substances that support life can be found throughout the universe‚ not just here in our solar system. Nitrogenated
