Planets and moons in our solar system share many similar properties‚ but there are also many ways they are different. Some of the main differences come with the different geologic activity‚ composition‚ interior structure‚ magnetic field‚ and atmosphere that distinguish some planets and moons from others. The first way to separate the planets as far as their surfaces is breaking them into their two categories. The Jovian planets (Jupiter‚ Saturn‚ Uranus‚ Neptune) are primarily composed of gas and

many do not know or realize is that the planets of the solar system make music. Sounds given off by the planets do not exist in the most conventional way that is seen on earth. Rather‚ sounds exist as electromagnetic vibrations emitted by the planets and trapped radio waves bouncing between each planet and its atmosphere (Millis). These electromagnetic vibrations and radio waves are not audible to the human ear so they cannot be heard if orbiting the planet. So‚ specially designed instruments are

humans can survive for long periods in space and even travel to other planets in the future. If space exploration is halted‚ this valuable knowledge will never be acquired. It is true that environmental destruction is also a serious issue‚ but it is also true that we remain dependent on our environment if we never accept the challenge of exploring other worlds. In conclusion‚ while we undoubtedly face serious problems on our own planet‚ it is imperative that we continue to explore space. This will promote

Colonization of Mars What does a planet need to have in order to support life? Earth is unique in our solar system because it is the only planet that is supporting life. Some scientists go so far as to say that the Earth is a “perfect planet” because it has features that are the perfect environment for living organisms; these features include our atmosphere‚ water‚ and a single moon. Earth is also in a place in our solar system where the Sun gives off the right amount of energy to drive the

where atoms move so quickly that they will stick to other atoms when they collide with them‚ this forms larger atoms and releases a vast amount of energy. This is the process of nuclear fusion. Stars vary in size from being equal to the diameter of a planet‚ all the way to being larger than the diameter of the whole earth’s orbit. The histories of the stars in the galaxies are traced through the age‚ compensation‚ distribution‚ and the dynamics and evolution of that galaxy. As fundamental building

NASA has found many planets out of our solar system. Those planets are called exoplanets. In addition‚Nasa has confirmed 3‚397 exoplanets And also 2‚531 other solar systems. NASA has launched a telescope into space and it is called spitzer. Therefore‚ using the spitzer telescope to find a lot more exoplanets. There is a lot of exoplanets outside our solar system and NASA plans to find a lot more. Some astronomers say that people may be able to live on other planets that are the same size as

It contains almost all of the mass in our solar system and exerts a tremendous gravitational pull on planets and other bodies. 3. Our solar system formed about 4.6 billion years ago. 4.

They conquered the virus by taking the serum from the host after they caught it and injecting it into all of the sick patients. “The single biggest threat to man’s continued dominance on this planet is the virus.” ~Joshua Lederberg I do and I don’t agree with this quote.

Earth is the 3rd Planet from the sun‚ as well as the 5th largest planet in our solar system. As far as humans know Earth is unique in the Solar System as being the only planet which is able to support life in all its forms: from basic micro-organisms to highly sophisticated human beings. There are many reasons why this happens. In this Research paper
