MINOR MEMBERS OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM ASTEROIDS Asteroids are small rocky bodies that have been likened to “flying mountains.” The largest‚ Ceres‚ is about 1000 kilometers in diameter‚ but most are only about 1 kilometer across. The smallest asteroids are assumed to be no larger than grains of sand. Most asteroids lie between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. They have orbital periods of three to six years. Some asteroids have very eccentric orbits and travel very close to the sun‚ and a few larger

The Origin of the Solar System A cloud of interstellar gas and/or dust (the "solar nebula") is disturbed and collapses under its own gravity. The disturbance could be‚ for example‚ the shock wave from a nearby supernova. As the cloud collapses‚ it heats up and compresses in the center. It heats enough for the dust to vaporize. The initial collapse is supposed to take less than 100‚000 years. The center compresses enough to become a protostar and the rest of the gas orbits/flows around it

With an increasing awareness in the fight against global warming and greenhouse gas emissions‚ governments around the world are looking for alternative sources of energy. These include wind‚ solar and hydro energy sources‚ known as renewable sources (Able to be regrown). However‚ one fuel source in particular is currently being used and produced to power both vehicles and electrical generators around the world; biofuels. Biofuels are renewable gas or liquid fuels made from plant matter such as corn

availability of renewable energy sources in the form of solar‚ biomass‚ biogas‚ hydropower and wind energy can provide opportunities of sustainable energy based development. In Bangladesh‚ nearly 72% of the population lives in rural areas and renewable energy is considered to be the right choice for providing clean energy to these remote settlements. Among all other renewable energy sources the most obvious and realistic choice is solar energy. Solar energy is available in abundant amount on earth and

ADC0803‚ ADC0804 ® Data Sheet August 2002 8-Bit‚ Microprocessor-Compatible‚ A/D Converters FN3094.4 Features The ADC080X family are CMOS 8-Bit‚ successiveapproximation A/D converters which use a modified potentiometric ladder and are designed to operate with the 8080A control bus via three-state outputs. These converters appear to the processor as memory locations or I/O ports‚ and hence no interfacing logic is required. The differential analog voltage input has good commonmode-rejection

Government Subsidies for Solar Panels Substitutes can help reduce the price of economic costs of some necessary utilities. Solar energy is a substitute and also an opportunity cost for the energy we use now‚ called fossil fuels. There are many benefits to switching from fossil fuels to solar energy. Solar energy can help lower the cost of the energy we use now by burning fossil fuels‚ changing the supply and demand of the product. Also‚ it can help the pollution that is causing further health

Lesson 1: Our Solar System What makes up our solar system? When we think of the solar system most of us think of eight planets orbiting around the sun. However‚ the solar system is a lot more complicated‚ larger and exciting than this simple description. The solar system is a gravitationally bound system with all the objects in this system revolving around the sun. The eight planets revolving around the sun are: Mercury‚ Venus‚ Earth‚ Mars‚ Jupitar‚ Saturn‚ Neputune‚ Uranus and Pluto. However‚ the
