of methane in its mostly hydrogen-helium atmosphere. The planet is often known as an ice giant‚ since 80 percent or more of its mass is made up of a fluid mix of water‚ methane‚ and ammonia ices. It’s an extremely cold planet‚ so cold that any living being would ever be able to survive this weather even if they we wore protective suits. Though it is visible to the naked eye like the five original planets‚ it was never recognized as a planet by observers because of its dimness and slow orbit.

Mercury‚ the planet closest to the sun‚ may be shrinking due to the discoveries of MESSENGER. Large scraps were formed when Mercury’s interior cooled‚ causing the planet to contract. Subsequently‚ Mercury is the smallest of all the eight planets in our solar system. Additionally‚ Mercury is a little bigger than Earth’s moon‚ but not by much. Despite Mercury’s small size‚ the planet itself is very heavy. Comparatively‚ Mercury is a lot heavier compared to Earth’s moon. Mercury is named after a

Life beyond Earth does exist. The life that exists beyond Earth is only simple microbial life. In order for complex life to exist many specific events would have had to happen which is highly unlikely. Spacecrafts have found regions of other planets that appear to be able to sustain simple life. Simple life forms have been found on Earth in extreme conditions never thought possible. On someplace other than Earth simple life forms do exist. If complex life were to occur on places other than

model that says that earth is at the center of the revolving planets and stars. And that the model shows us that we live in a perfect universe. The reason why people accept the geocentric model was because of two pieces of evidence. One was the greek observation‚ this is where the greek noticed several points in the light that seemed to warder slowly among the stars. After‚ they made a careful observation of the motions of the planets that they were able to see. The greek were certain about the earth

Brahe’s assistant‚ Kepler was given the task of studying and attempting to understand the orbit for planet Mars. The orbit of Mars was particularly difficult because Copernicus had correctly placed the Sun at the center of the Solar System‚ but had erred in his assumption of circular planetary orbits. After numerous experiments and mathematical calculations‚ he finally realized the obits of the planets were in fact not circular as Aristotle had previously insisted and Copernicus assumed correct‚ but
