Solar System Our solar neighborhood is an exciting place. The Solar System is full of planets‚ moons‚ asteroids‚ comets‚ minor planets‚ and many other exciting objects. Learn about Io‚ the explosive moon that orbits the planet Jupiter‚ or explore the gigantic canyons and deserts on Mars. How Did The Solar System form? This is an important question‚ and one that is difficult for scientists to understand. After all‚ the creation of our Solar System took place billions of years before there

Wave A is the S-wave Because the velocity starts at 4 and it reflects at 2‚900 km. also known as the outer core. Wave B is the P-wave because the velocity starts at 8 and it refracts at 2‚900 km. and it refracts at 5‚100 km. also known as the inner core. The mantle starts at 1‚800 km. because wave A and wave B both refract at that point and the outer core starts at 2‚900 km. because wave A reflects from that point and wave B refracts at that point. So the boundary from the mantle to the outer core

It is human nature to explore one’s surroundings. People have never known what is beyond our world‚ or beyond the Earth’s stratosphere. Spacecrafts are the answer. There are different kinds of spacecrafts‚ like probes‚ satellites‚ and rockets. Satellites do not contain people‚ but they are built to send pictures and videos back to Earth. The Voyager missions are one of the most successful satellites ever built. The Voyager missions changed the way we explore space today‚ encounter interstellar space

Since Europa’s circle is marginally extended from roundabout‚ or circular‚ its separation from Jupiter fluctuates‚ making tides that extend and unwind its surface. The tides happen in light of the fact that Jupiter’s gravity is just marginally more grounded on the close side of the moon than on the far side‚ and the extent of this distinction changes

sulphuric acid clouds which give it a light yellowish appearance. Earth shows its blue oceans and white clouds as well as its green and brownish land. Mars is covered with a fine dust which contains iron oxide (rust). This gives Mars its orange colour. Jupiter is a giant gas planet with an outer atmosphere that is mostly hydrogen and helium with small amounts of water droplets‚ ice crystals‚ ammonia crystals‚ and other elements. Clouds of these elements create shades of white‚ orange‚ brown and red. Saturn

The day my life would change for ever was April 16th‚ 2013. This was the day that I left planet earth and embarked on one of the most important missions in NASA’s history. I should probably back up though‚ and explain to you how this came about. April 16th was sunny with only a few clouds in the sky‚ the smell of spring was in the air and with the end of second semester right around the corner‚ the quad was packed with people eager to catch some much desired sun rays. Unfortunately for me though

SOLAR SYSTEM About 5 Billion years ago‚ y There was no Sun‚ no Earth& no Moon y Only cosmic dust and gasses drifted in the darkness of space SOLAR SYSTEM THEORY The solar system was formed by a slowly spinning cloud of gas and cosmic dust‚ gradually the cloud began to spin faster and faster this formed a large spinning whirl at the centre and smaller whirls surrounding it at various distances. SOLAR SYSTEM THEORY The huge and heavy centre became hot enough to start thermo nuclear
