Eris’ moon Dysnomia‚ the daughter of the god Eris. In 2008‚ they named Eris‚ including Pluto‚ Sedna and Ceres‚ Dwarf Planets or Plutoids. Eris is the 10th planet and is the most distant object that orbits the sun in the frozen fringes of the Kuiper Belt. Approximately 10 billion miles from the sun‚ this is more than 3 times further than the next closest plutoid‚ Pluto. Eris also takes double the time to orbit the sun than Pluto. Approximately 557 Earth years is equal to 1 Eris year. Eris has a

Planet 9 and it’s unusual orbit may have been the cause of past extinctions. Professor Daniel Whitmire claims the ice planet will turn evil by hurling space rocks towards Earth. It’s 20‚000-year solar orbit will eventually pass through the Kuiper asteroid belt just beyond Pluto. When it does‚ the series of comets and asteroids could become weapons of death deflected towards Earth. Apparently‚ this isn’t the first time the murderous planet

5. Two of the outer planets beyond the orbit of Mars - Jupiter and Saturn - are known as gas giants; the more distant Uranus and Neptune are called ice giants. 6. Most of the known dwarf planets exist in an icy zone beyond Neptune called the Kuiper Belt‚ which is also the point of origin for many comets. 7. Many objects in our solar system have atmospheres‚ including planets‚ some dwarf planets and even a couple moons. 8. Our solar system is located in the Orion Arm of the Milky Way Galaxy. There

The “planet” Pluto was discovered by scientist in 1930. Even then‚ there was controversy over whether this little ball of ice should be considered a planet. It was decided it should‚ mainly because since the gravity of the eighth planet‚ Neptune‚ was found because it was tugging on the seventh planet‚ Uranus‚ and then Pluto was found when its gravity tugged on the orbit of Neptune. Pluto was just a continuation in the time-tested practice of discovering the existence of planets from the behavior

Some of these discoveries and theories include planetary accretion‚ the differences between inner and outer planets‚ the formation of planetary rings‚ how the asteroid belt got there‚ the formation of Earth’s moon‚ and the unusual rotation of the planet Uranus. Proper understanding of each of these discoveries and theories is important when learning about our universe. Planetary Accretion Planetary accretion has two

CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Computer simulation was developed hand-in-hand with the rapid growth of the computer‚ following its first large-scale deployment during the Manhattan Project in World War II to model the process of nuclear detonation. It was a simulation of 12 hard spheres using a Monte Carlo algorithm. Computer simulation is often used as an adjunct to‚ or substitution for‚ modeling systems for which simple closed form analytic solutions are not possible. There

The comet ’s periodicity was first determined in 1705 by English astronomer Edmond Halley‚ who it was eventually named after. Halley ’s Comet last appeared in the inner Solar System in 1986 and won’t appear again until mid-2061. Although the nucleus of the comet itself is not that large‚ the coma can extend to a very large size. As the gas molecules in the coma
