Planets of our Solar System The Earth: The earth is the fifth largest planet of the solar system. The life is possible on the earth because its gravity is sufficient to hold atmosphere and best conditions for sustaining life. It contains a large amount of water in the form of oceans. 71% parts of the total area is covered with water and the remaining 29% is covered with land. The temperature of the centre of the earth is 2000° C. The circumference of the earth is 40‚000 km. The earth completes

Gravity Lab Objective: The objective of this lab assignment is todetermine if objects with different mass fall at the same rate or vatying rate in the presence of ar and in a vacuum. Problem: Whateffect does Earth’s gravitational force have on objects of different masses? Hypothesis: If the sand paper falls at the same rate as the paper towel than it will end in the ground first. Objective: The objective of this lab assignment is to determine if objects with different masses fall at the same

The Asteroid Belt‚ also known as the Main Belt‚ is made of many asteroids found in the solar system. The process of discovering the Asteroid Belt began in the late 1700’s after Bode’s Law was found. Bode’s Law consists of a numerical equation that helped astronomers locate each planet according to a specific sequence (Chavis‚ 2010). This equation led to the discovery of a gap between Mars and Jupiter where another planet should be located‚ but isn’t. Guiseppe Piazzi discovered the asteroid but thought

"An Earth-like planet spotted outside our solar system is the first found that could support liquid water and harbor life." This comes from a NASA researcher. New life on other planets could mean so much for the future of humans. The only way to keep finding out new information about our solar system and beyond is to spend money to research it. The only

Asteroids vs. Comets Spacecrafts have retrieved extraordinarily valuable information that has furthered the human race’s knowledge of what exists in outer space. However‚ spacecrafts and shuttles are extremely expensive to build and launch into space so they should be well taken care of. Sending a spacecraft to an asteroid is far better and safer than sending a spacecraft to a comet for quite a few different reasons. First‚ an asteroid is made up of less materials than a comet. Next‚ comets
