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

For example humans as Newton gives new ideas that contributed to the scientific revolution‚ like “The replacement of the Earth as center of the universe by heliocentric theory.” Moreover Isaac Newton explained the elliptical orbits of the planets and he advanced the law of universal gravitation. Furthermore Nicolaus Copernicus worked on the heliocentric model of the solar system‚ in which he tried to demonstrate that the sun was the center of the universe. One important thing about scientists

Earth‚ the planet that is said to have the most resources to sustain life. A planet that allows us as humans to be born in and continue to live in as we age because of its amazing resources. It isn’t blazing in flames like the Sun‚ or composed of rock and ice like Pluto‚ Earth has water‚ trees‚ and rotates around the sun for heat. It is almost as if Earth were tailored when created to fit human need’s‚ we drink water and breathe its oxygen to survive‚ we use its plants for various reasons‚ from eating

movement of the planets in the universe. With well defined studied and researches‚ Kepler has defined three main laws defining the planetary motion. These laws give a clear overview of the way things move around and are used by the engineers for the development of all related equipment‚ devices and even the study of the planets. We would hence discuss these laws briefly for understanding his stand on these motions. The first law explains the shape of the orbit in which every planet moves around. It

My assessment of mastery was done in several forms: class discussion in the form of a jeopardy game‚ student creation of a “postcard” from their favorite planet where they had to write home to a loved one on Earth telling about the characteristics of the selected planet and the creation of a candy model of the solar system. The purpose of the model was to demonstrate understanding of the position of each planet in relation to the

aliens must exist because of the discovery of earthlike planets‚ proof of alien existence in ancient history‚ and the millions of sightings that many people have reported. The first‚ and perhaps the most intriguing‚ piece of evidence is the discoveries of earthlike planets in recent years. In the last couple years there have been many reports that planets from other galaxies have many of the same properties as planet Earth does. These planets may have supported life or are maybe even still supporting
