Mercury is the smallest terrestrial planet in the solar system‚ about a third of the size of Earth It has a thin atmosphere‚ which causes it to swing between burning and freezing temperatures Mercury is also a dense planet‚ composed mostly of iron and nickel with an iron core Its magnetic field is only about 1 percent that of Earth’s The surface of Mercury is similar to that of the Moon; it has many deep craters and is covered by a thin layer of tiny particle silicates The surface temperature

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

Uranus hangs on the wall of space as a mysterious blue green planet. With a mass of 8.683e25 kg and a diameter of 51‚118 km at the equator‚ Uranus is the third largest planet in our solar system. It has been described as a planet that was slugged a few billion years ago by a large onrushing object‚ knocked down (never to get up)‚ and now proceeds to roll around an 84-year orbit on its belly. As the strangest of the Jovian planets‚ the description is accurate. Uranus has a 17 hour and 14 minute

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

Humans live on a small planet in a tiny part of a vast universe. "This part of the universe is called the solar system‚ and is dominated by a single brilliant star-the sun." (Skywatching 230) The solar system is the earth ’s neighbourhood and the planets Mercury‚ Venus‚ Mars‚ Jupiter‚ Saturn‚ Uranus‚ Neptune and Pluto are the Earth ’s neighbours. They all have the same stars in the sky and orbit the same sun. Scientists believe the solar system began about 5 billion years ago‚ perhaps when

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
