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

respiratory problems among the general public. Water is the second most important commodity to sustain life. But this too is not available in pure time. There are several reasons for this. Untreated industrial wastes discharge is polluting our water system. Similarly‚ agricultural pesticides and insecticides are polluting our underground water. Impure water leads to an increase in gastrointestinal diseases. Another factor is of waste matter from daily consumption which we throw carelessly on streets

A young Venetian‚ Bassanio‚ needs a loan of three thousand ducats so that he can woo Portia‚ a wealthy Venetian heiress. He approaches his friend Antonio‚ a merchant. Antonio is short of money because all his wealth is invested in his fleet‚ which is currently at sea. He goes to a Jewish money lender‚ Shylock‚ who hates Antonio because of Antonio’s anti-semitic behaviour towards him. Shylock nevertheless agrees to make the short-term loan‚ but‚ in a moment of dark humour‚ he makes a condition - the

modeling systems for which simple closed form analytic solutions are not possible. There are many different types of computer simulation; the common feature they all share is the attempt to generate a sample of representative scenarios for a model in which a complete enumeration of all possible states of the model would be prohibitive or impossible. Computer models were initially used as a supplement for other arguments‚ but their use later became rather widespread. The Solar System consists of

Using sources 1.1‚ 1.2 and 1.3 and your own knowledge‚ explain the changes in the solar cult before the reign of Amenhotep IV/Akhenaten (10 marks – 800 words) In a land like Egypt where the sun was one of the two dominating forces of nature (the other being the Nile)‚ it was natural for the people to worship the sun as a god. Solar (sun) worship had been practiced throughout Egypt in one form or another since Predynastic times. Popular beliefs about the sun god varied from place to place as did

Stars A star is a massive‚ luminous sphere of plasma held together by gravity. The nearest star to Earth is the Sun‚ which is the source of most of the energy on the planet. Solar System The Solar System consists of the Sun and its planetary system of eight planets‚ their moons‚ and other non-stellar objects. It formed 4.6 billion years ago from the gravitational collapse of a giant molecular cloud. The vast majority of the system’s mass is in the Sun‚ with most of the remaining mass contained

Proper understanding of each of these discoveries and theories is important when learning about our universe. Planetary Accretion Planetary accretion has two main theories on how the planets in our solar system were formed. The first of the two is the Solar Nebular Disk Model; this is where our Solar System’s planets started out as small pieces and started to collide together‚ uniting into bigger pieces and this kept happening until they became planetesimals. Once they were planetesimals‚ they crashed

SOLAR SYSTEM About 5 Billion years ago‚ y There was no Sun‚ no Earth& no Moon y Only cosmic dust and gasses drifted in the darkness of space SOLAR SYSTEM THEORY The solar system was formed by a slowly spinning cloud of gas and cosmic dust‚ gradually the cloud began to spin faster and faster this formed a large spinning whirl at the centre and smaller whirls surrounding it at various distances. SOLAR SYSTEM THEORY The huge and heavy centre became hot enough to start thermo nuclear
