states that planets move in elliptical orbits with the sun at one focus. Think of the elliptical shape as a part of a cone. This is the shape of the orbit that becomes an inverse square force‚ which is an intensity in the gravity field. The eccentricity is the ratio of the distance between the foci to the major axis of the ellispe‚ which is basically the orbit of each planet. Since the formula is Ra= a(1+e) and Rp= a(1-e)‚ when e=0 for the orbit‚ we can then calculate the orbit for each planet. These

was discovered in September 1845. It was discovered by means of mathematics before being seen through a telescope. It began in 1843 when John Adams‚ a young English astronomer and mathematician‚ began working to find thew location of the unknown planet. Adams predicted the planned would be about 1.6 billion kilometres farther from the sun then Uranus. That’s when he completed his work in September 1845. Also Urbain Leverriar‚ unknown to Adams‚ began working on the same project. By mid-1846‚ Leverriar

Ptolemaic system is a geocentric cosmology assuming that the Earth is stationary and the centre of the universe. Ptolemy’s model showed that planets revolved around a point and that point revolved around another point which was earth. In order to explain the motion of the planets‚ Ptolemy combined eccentricity with an epicyclic model where he assumed the planets moved on a small sphere or circle‚ called an epicycle‚ that moved on a larger sphere or circle‚ called a deferent. The rotation around the

The main idea behind the nebular hypothesis is that the planets and the Sun formed when a spinning cloud of interstellar dust and

Mythological aspect of the astronomy are mostly covered on the northern hemisphere‚ which includes the 12 zodiac constellations and some other constellations. The zodiac constellations formed an imaginary circle which the sun‚ moon‚ and seven of the nine planets orbited in the space‚ for example the Taurus which symbolizes the bull which describe zeus‚ and the form he took when he carried off the phoenician maiden‚ Europa. The other constellations are the constellations located out of the imaginary circle

formulated by the Greek philosopher Ptolemy around 140 AD. The sun‚ moon‚ planets and stars all revolved around the earth in circular orbits. Back then‚ everyone “knew” that the earth stood still at the center of the universe. But there were problems with this model. Although the stars move smoothly through the heavens along fixed circular orbits‚ the planets do not. They wander among the other stars (which is where the term “planet” came from; it means “wanderer” in Greek). Their speed varies‚ their

The planets were scattered throughout the galaxy. Then the being that was inside named Atlas came out and headed towards earth since he was near the planets. Atlas then started pulling things out a small bag that he contained around his waist. He pulled out things that looked like little mountains. Atlas then threw the

For the sustainable development of ‘world’s most dangerous animal’ man‚ he had exploited the nature a lot. It is more than a lot truly. Since nature is the raw material for all our needs‚ we will be living in an ailed planet soon if the nature is destructed like this

the second biggest planet in the solar system with a mean radius of about 58‚ 232 km but it is the least dense planet in the solar system. It’s density is about 0.687 grams per cubic centimetre making it the only planet less dense than water. Saturn spins faster than any other planet except Jupiter‚ completing a rotation roughly every 10 and half hours. The rapid spinning causes Saturn to bulge at its equator and flatten at its poles making it the flattest of the planets. The planet is 13‚000 km wider

Some people say if we travel around space and find a habitable planet that it will further the arms races which might start a galactic war for the found habitable planet. They think this way by cause of what has happened before with huge moments in history‚ like the atomic bomb starting the hydrogen bomb race with Russia (Obama et al.). Otherwise‚ If we travel space
