out”. In 1801‚ a icyrocky body similar to Pluto was discovered between Jupiter and Mars named Ceres. A year later Ceres had its planethood revoked because it was very obvious that it really was just the largest member of what is now called the asteroid belt. If Ceres doesn’t get to be called a planet neither should pluto. They have almost exact same characteristics and yet it only took them a year to revoke its planethood. Finally‚ I am going to end this with my opinion on pluto. Pluto definitely

Pluto has some but certainly not all the qualities as it was found orbiting the Kuiper belt which is beyond the orbit of Neptune‚ the current furthest planet from the sun. Pluto has been one of the 9 planets in the past‚ but now that scientists have higher tech machines and programmes to allow them to explore further and deeper than just

The last exhibit we looked at before we had to go into the show was of a museum host talking about the Kuiper belt which is kind of like a asteroid belt but instead of being all rock‚ ice and metal the Kuiper belt is mostly frozen methane‚ ammonia and water. The wildest weather show was pretty amazing with the screen all around us creating a dome and every thing else being completely dark it make for a great

orbits the sun‚ it cannot be considered a planet because of its inconsistency in orbit‚ its size‚ and the abundance of asteroids in the vicinity of its orbit. Pluto does physically qualify as a planet. Being in a state of hydrostatic equilibrium meaning it has enough self gravity to pull itself into a round shape clearly distinguishes it and the other dwarf planets from shapeless asteroids. Pluto is the farthest planet from the sun and the smallest. Even though Pluto was discovered in 1930 not much is

This videos say now that “We have a tiny Mars‚ No Super Earths‚ A weird mixed up of Asteroid belts‚ An early obliteration of Earth’s surface‚ and a missing ninth planet. This is all to be cause of Jupiter. There are no facts if the solar system formation happened this way or not. But this video can say for conform that Jupiter’s influence of

Impacts from Space and Mass Extinction Events A. Understand the concept of a biosphere and Earth System Science and that the biosphere has evolved over time. -Mass extinction: a crisis that affects life right across the planet from the deepest oceans to the highest mountains -Biosphere: all life on Earth is a part of the biosphere‚ a thin layer of life that exists on the surface of the planet and that interacts with the hydrosphere (oceans‚ lakes‚ and rivers)‚ the atmosphere‚ and the lithosphere

Meteorites Meteorites are small extraterrestrial bodies that reach the Earth ’s surface. They are small asteroids‚ approximately boulder-sized or less. While still in space these bodies are called meteoroids. When they enter the Earth ’s atmosphere‚ but before reaching the surface‚ they are called meteors. Seventy nine percent of meteorites are chondrites. Chondrites are balls of mafic minerals with small grain size indicative of rapid cooling. In most chondrites small spherules‚ called chondrules

What must have happened? Saturn must have lost a tiny bit of its orbital energy. Suppose that a lone asteroid happens to be passing Jupiter on a unbound orbit ( well above Jupiter’s atmosphere and far from all of Jupiter moons.) Which of the following statements would be true? The asteroid orbit around Jupiter would not change‚ and it would go out on the same unbound orbit that it came in on. Which of the following best describes the origin
