the project completely. Voyager 1 had a chance to fly pass Pluto. Scientist instead chose to study Jupiter and Saturn’s moons. Flying past both moons io and triton brought voyager 1 so close to Jupiter causing the probe to gain so much speed it could not be redirected to Pluto as it flew pass Saturn. Voyager 2 was designed to follow the same flight path as voyager 1 this time the journey passed Jupiter was a lot smoother. Unfortunately‚ Neptune was not in the right position for voyager 2 to be directed

system formed about 4.6 billion years ago. 4. The four planets closest to the Sun - Mercury‚ Venus‚ Earth‚ and Mars - are called the terrestrial planets because they have solid‚ rocky surfaces. 5. Two of the outer planets beyond the orbit of Mars - Jupiter and Saturn - are known as gas giants; the more distant Uranus and Neptune are called ice giants. 6. Most of the known dwarf planets exist in an icy zone beyond Neptune called the Kuiper Belt‚ which is also the point of origin for many comets. 7

CHAPTER 7 SPEED - Is a scalar -measures “how fast an object is moving” INSTANTANEOUS SPEED -the speed at any given instant in time AVERAGE SPEED -the average of all instantaneous speed; found simply by a distance or time ratio. SPEED= distance/Time TIME= Distance/Time DISTAnce= Speed*Time VELOCITY- is a vector Refers to the rate at which an object changes its position VELOCITY= displacement/time MOTION- is a change in position with respect to a reference ENERGY-

walked in the building the first then I noticed was the busy silence that filled the room. It’s the same sound you hear when you walk onto a closed movie set. You see the dozens of people flying around taking care of business but you could hear a pin drop because no one speaks above a full whisper. As I walked down the halls I saw the walls covered with rich New Orleans history. The tops of the walls were even painted to look like the storm beaten streets signs that we see on intersections throughout

SOLAR SYSTEM PLANETS MERCURY • The closest planet to the sun‚ Mercury is only a bit larger than Earth’s moon. Its day side is scorched by the sun and can reach 840 degrees Fahrenheit (450 Celsius)‚ but on the night side‚ temperatures drop to hundreds of degrees below freezing. VENUS • The second planet from the sun‚ Venus is terribly hot‚ even hotter than Mercury. The atmosphere is toxic. The pressure at the surface would crush and kill you. Scientists describe Venus’ situation as a runaway greenhouse
