* Title of the Laboratory: Modeling the orbits of planets and satellites * Objective: Formulate models to inter the shape of orbits of planets and satellites. Collect and organize data for aphelion distances and perihelion distances of objects as they orbit the sun Draw conclusions about Kepler’s first and second laws of motion. * Materials: Piece of cardboard‚ metric ruler‚ sheet of blank‚ sharp pencil or pen‚ white paper‚ four small pieces or tape string (25cm)‚ two push pins * Procedure:

Question 3 Which of the following best explains why we can rule out the idea that planets are usually formed by near-collisions between stars? Stellar near-collisions are far too rare to explain all the planets now known to orbit nearby stars. Question 4 According to our present theory of solar system formation‚ which of the following objects now reside quite far from the place where they formed

oceans in particular (Etzioni). The main cost comes from sending humans since they require food‚ safer equipment‚ and a way back home. We could save so much money by just sending rovers‚ which are traveling robots capable of being on certain planets‚ to Mars instead of people. This will not only be cheaper‚ but safer. This will allow more money to be used for ocean exploration. For example‚ a permanent partially-submerged sea exploration station‚ called the SeaOrbiter‚ is currently in development

most of us think of eight planets orbiting around the sun. However‚ the solar system is a lot more complicated‚ larger and exciting than this simple description. The solar system is a gravitationally bound system with all the objects in this system revolving around the sun. The eight planets revolving around the sun are: Mercury‚ Venus‚ Earth‚ Mars‚ Jupitar‚ Saturn‚ Neputune‚ Uranus and Pluto. However‚ the solar system also consists of moons‚ asteroids‚ comets‚ minor planets‚ dust and gas. The sun makes

In “The Martian”‚ a 2011 hardcore science fiction novel by Andy Weir‚ astronaut Mark Watney must embark on a dogged quest to survive alone on Mars after a freak accident led to him being abandoned by his crewmates. Weir explores an optimistic view of human nature and pays an extreme attention to detail in the composition. One of the major themes that emerge from the novel is human nature. The team-up between NASA and the Chinese National Space Administration (CNSA) emphasizes the author’s belief

If you browse the sky regularly some notable features you you might know is the tactful North Star and the puny Little Dipper.
