There are a few notable differences between terrestrial and jovian planets. Terrestrial planets are smaller in size and mass and jovian planets are larger in size and mass. Terrestrial planets are mostly made of rocks and metals, while jovian planets are mostly made of hydrogen, helium, and hydrogen compounds. This is why jovian planets are nicknamed “gas giants.” Terrestrial planets have solid surfaces which are warmer because they are closer to the Sun. Jovian planets have no solid surfaces and have cooler temperatures because they are farther from the Sun.…
-The atmospheres of Venus and Mars are different than the Earth because Venus and Mars are mainly made of Carbon Dioxide and the Earth is mainly made of Nitrogen.…
Terrestrial planet is like a rocky, high in densities, deep metal like inside the surface and it looks like Earth. Terrestrial planets are planets like Mercury, Venus, and Earth. Jovian planets are planets made of gaseous surface like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune and Jovian are low in densities. Pluto did not meet the criteria to be defined as a full planet because of its size. Pluto met only two criteria that stop it from becoming a full planet.…
Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto are just three of Jupiter’s 63 known moons. These three moons are special, as scientists believe that there could be marine life on them. Scientists realized that Io, another moon to Jupiter, was heated internally by tidal heating. Tidal heating occurs through friction when orbital and rotational energy are dissipated as heat in the ocean or the interior of a planet. From this information, scientists concluded that the other Galilean moons must also be heated internally by tidal heating. It was found that Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto also have large bodies of water which are mostly frozen. This information along with tidal heating, help scientists believe there is marine life on Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto.…
Christopher Crokett in “Pluto: Explored” points out that the Planet Pluto has no control nor gravity. The description of Pluto is the diminutive ice-coated body and outlier. It always far above and well below the plane of the solar system. Moreover, Pluto once cross another planet’s like (Neptune’s) orbit.…
The planet Vonda is much like earth when comparing dimensions. Both planets have a radius of 3,959 miles with a mass of 5.972*10^24 kg and a volume of 1.08321*10^12 km^3. Also, earth and Vonda are on an axial tilt 23.4392811 degrees, could there similarities in dimension be the reason why both planets are able to harbor life on their own. Vonda also has a five layer atmosphere just like earth that allows humans to breathe and visit. Vonda is a very lush tropical area that has a very diverse communities of life. Omaticaya, the region where the Omarịchans live, resembles the Iguazu National Park in Argentina. For instance, the waterfalls were created by volcanic eruptions, which then to the creation of more than 275 waterfalls. During rainy seasons…
Like the other gas giants, Uranus has a very thick cloud cover and an atmosphere made up mostly of hydrogen, helium, methane, and ammonia. The trace amount of methane is what gives Uranus and its twin, Neptune, their blue color. Unlike Saturn and Jupiter, Uranus has a different internal structure.…
Planets closer to the sun are in better conditions and are well suited for rock and metal to condense. The farther away you get from the sun the conditions will change making the area not as suitable. That is why Earth is in the perfect place for it to sustain life. Planets that are made of gases and condensed ice have passed a boundary called the frost line. Planets behind the frost line have conditions cold enough for ice to condensate and form a planet.…
Ali: Pluto is a dwarf planets and it’s one of the smallest in the solar system.…
A: the inner planets are rock based, having their majority being rock based while the outer planets are gaseous, not really containing any sort of mass besides the gases that make them up .…
Good morning ladies and gentlemen. Today you are here to decide whether the defendant presented is insane. This man was imprisoned for murdering his wife. This was after killing his first cat and aiming to kill his second. Why kill so many innocent lives? After hearing his significant story, many of you must be confused. You may believe he is indeed insane while others may think he pretending to be crazy in order to get out of his death penalty. My job here is to prove that he is faking it all. Therefore, he deserves to die for his horrible actions.…
2) Charon, one of its largest moons, is only half the size of Pluto, while other true planets are far larger than their moons…
10. a. Complete the following table comparing each of the eight planets, and Pluto, with respect to the criteria shown. Use NASA’s planetary factsheet at http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/factsheet/ .…
So don’t make it seem like Pluto is all alone, because it is not! Besides, Pluto there are four other known dwarf planets. Eris, Ceres, Makemake, and Haumea. The latter three of which are in the Kuiper Belt. Dwarf planets are worlds that are too small to be considered developed planets, but also too large to be put into smaller categories.…
Pluto is a dwarf planet orbiting the Sun, with about a sixth of the mass of the Moon and a third of its volume. Like other Kuiper belt objects, which are generally outside Neptune's orbit, Pluto is primarily rock and ice. It has an elongated and highly inclined orbit that takes it from 49 astronomical units (7.4 billion km) away from the Sun down to 30, closer than Neptune. Light from the Sun takes about 5.5 hours to reach it at its average distance. Since its discovery in 1930, it had been considered the ninth planet, but the International Astronomical Union came up with a new definition for planets in 2006 that excluded Pluto after many other similar icy objects were found, including Chiron and Eris. Pluto has five known moons: Charon (about…
