system is a dwarf planet named Pluto. The existence of the unknown planet was first proposed by astronomer Percival Lowell in 1905‚ who thought that the wobbles in the orbit of Neptune and Uranus were probably caused by the gravitational pull of an unknown planet. After calculating the approximate location‚ he looked for more than a decade without any success. About 25 years later‚ it was discovered by an American astronomer named Clyde Tombaugh. The surface temperature of the planet is estimated to

With advanced technology they did it‚ they found another planet that’s in our solar system‚ but it’s not proven yet. The high tech computers detect a planet but it has still not been seen by the human eye. So what this means is the the planet isn’t officially a planet until it has been seen by a human for it to be

is "Is there life on other planets?" Since the first famously documented UFO sighting in 1947‚ the idea of extra-terrestrial life has been debated almost non-stop. The subject has inspired many TV programs‚ such as The X-Files‚ and films (Mars Attacks‚ Independence Day‚ and the Men in Black films to name but a few). Scientists have come up with many new ideas and ways of trying to either prove or disprove the existence of life elsewhere. Mars is a very similar planet to earth in relation to size

Sometimes contemplating the future just means wondering whether it will snow tomorrow‚ or whether it will be a hot summer this year. We can think bigger‚ though. What will the climate be like a hundred years from now‚ or a thousand or a million? Will the greenhouse gases in our atmosphere ever reach an upper limit and start to diminish?

Once known as the ninth planet of the solar system‚ Pluto is now the second-largest dwarf planet. Composed primarily of ice and rock‚ Pluto took part of our Solar System for 76 years. It was discovered on January 23‚ 1930 by Clyde Tombaugh. Tombaugh was an American astronomer who worked at the Lowell Obeservatory. Tombaugh had been working on a project when he came across a moving object in photographs he had taken of the celestial sky. After observing a lower quality picture taken of the mysterious

After the first orbit (year)‚ turn off the traces (show traces box) and watch another orbit (year) of the purple planet (body 2). Question One: Is blue moon (body 3) circling the yellow sun (body 1) or the purple planet (body 2)? Explain your answer. The blue moon is circling both the puple plane and the yellow sun. It is circling the purple planet‚ while the purple planet is circling around the sun. Therefore
