Fairuz Dalilah Binti Abdul Rashid Are We Alone? : Discovering Life on Other Planets Habitable Zone and The Drake Equation A habitable zone‚ which is also known as the Goldilocks Zone‚ is basically a region where there is a probability in finding the extraterrestrial life. The finding is based on the temperature and the pressure of a certain planetary-mass objects. When the temperature is between 273K and 373K‚ there will be presence of water that can support the extraterrestrial life to live in

because it proved the Heliocentric Theory‚ it has given us information about all of the planets‚ and it has changed our look at astronomy. In the 1600’s‚ the Roman Catholic Church had most of the influence on Europeans. Up to that time‚ most people believed in the Geocentric Theory‚ an Earth-centered theory used by Ptolemy. This theory stated that the Earth is the center of the universe and that all planets travel in circular orbits around it called epicycles (Dolan 15). Because the Church

The geocentric theory was one of many that was created during this centaury. This theory is the belief that planets were perfect circles‚ and objects were pulled down due to their compositions. However Copernicus created new theories such as the heliocentric theory which contradicted the older ideas. The heliocentric theory was based off of reasoning and math

Lab #7 Applying Kepler’s Second and Third Laws In this lab we examined the elliptical nature of plametary orbits. In the first part we learned the Law of Equal Areas‚ a law concerning the speed at which planets travel; a line connecting a planet to the sun will sweep out equal areas in equal times; "Kepler’s second law means that a planet’s orbital speed changes with its distance from the sun" The procedure that we follow the orbit of Mar for the year 2004 and 2005. the

We have achieved some of the goals but not all. Through our space probes we were able to find new planets stars and even galaxies. Space exploration should continue because it could help solve many problems on Earth‚ such as overpopulation and lack of resources. There are many reasons that space exploration should continue.

center of the universe and that the earth and other planets all revolve around it. This Polish astronomer revolutionized beliefs involving the universe‚ making his thoughts controversial in his time‚ but common knowledge in our own (Westman). Before the time of Copernicus‚ people had extremely different views of the universe. A Greek astronomer named Ptolemy had his own theory of the earth and its relationship with the sun and other planets. Around 140 AD‚ he came up with a system that showed

simplicity‚ these rules of linear motion were confined between the Earth and the Moon‚ to what Aristotle called the “sublunar realm.” Anything beyond this was referred to as the “translunar realm” which consisted of any celestial body; the Moon‚ Sun‚ planets‚ and all of the Stars. Instead of the obeying the laws of linear motion‚ this realm operated on the bases of uniform circular motion. Each celestial body was set within its own “crystalline sphere” which was unmoved and never changing; the size of
