Earth Earth ‚ our home planet‚ is beautiful blue and white ball when seen from space. Science is the study of the Earth and its neighbors in space. It is an exciting science with many interesting and practical applications. Some Earth scientists use their knowledge of the Earth to locate and develop energy and mineral resources.

The finding became the trigger that changed the face of our solar system‚ defining the planets and adding Pluto to a growing family of dwarf planets in 2006 by International Astronomical Union (IAU) 9.

believed that the asteroids were the remains of a planet that was destroyed many years ago. This theory can not be proven true because‚ the location of the asteroid belt could not be home to a planet due to Jupiters gravitational pull. It is now believed that asteroid are planetesimals broken down by collision‚ also known as a minute planet. A planetesimal is a body that could or did come together with many others under gravitation to form a planet. This theory explains why the silicate rich asteroids

The asteroid belt is the region of the Solar System located roughly between the orbits of the planets Mars and Jupiter. It is occupied by numerous irregularly shaped bodies called asteroids or minor planets. The asteroid belt region is also termed the main asteroid belt or main belt because there are other asteroids in the solar system such as near-Earth asteroids and trojan asteroids. More than half the mass of the main belt is contained in the four largest objects: Ceres‚ 4 Vesta‚ 2 Pallas‚ and

What is Gliese 436b? Gliese 436b‚ also known as GJ 436b‚ is a Neptune-sized exoplanet‚ a planet that orbits a star outside the solar system‚ which orbits the red dwarf Gliese 436. Gliese 436b was the first Neptune discovered with certainty in 2007. It was among the smallest known transiting planets in mass and radius‚ until the much smaller Kepler exoplanet discoveries began in 2010. Gliese 436b was discovered in August 2004 by R. Paul Butler of the Carnegie Institute of Washington. Also‚ Geoffrey

The broken frozen heart of Pluto might still be beating because it replenishes itself with new ice always. This makes the planet having one of the youngest surfaces in the solar system‚ according to a pair of papers that were printed in Nature. William B.

The Contrast Between Malacandra and Earth Elwin Ransom‚ the main character in the book‚ a professor of philology of the University of Cambridge‚ is a brave‚ open-minded man full of curiosity. I would describe him as brave because he acted very calm during the time he was being prisoned by Weston and Devin. He almost seemed a willing captive in the beginning of the story. Unlike Devin and Weston‚ Ransom had the courage to find Oryarsa and to sacrifice himself to ensure the safety of Malacandra.

they heated up. But because they were smaller they soon cooled down and became planets. Sun accounts for 99.85 per cent of mass of the solar system. About 1.3 billion earths would fit inside the sun. The solar system consists of the Sun; the nine planets‚ 67 satellites of the planets and a large number of small bodies (comets and asteroids). The inner solar system contains the Sun‚ Mercury‚ Venus‚ Earth and Mars. The planets of the outer solar system are Jupiter‚ Saturn‚ Uranus and Neptune. Mercury

Even though the rest of the solar system objects may seem like tiny dots from Earth‚ our celestial neighbors are still important to learn about. The importance of this task has led many experts here at Wikijunior to donate their time and talents to bring this volume together. Wikibooks is a project of the Wikimedia
