MINOR MEMBERS OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM ASTEROIDS Asteroids are small rocky bodies that have been likened to “flying mountains.” The largest‚ Ceres‚ is about 1000 kilometers in diameter‚ but most are only about 1 kilometer across. The smallest asteroids are assumed to be no larger than grains of sand. Most asteroids lie between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. They have orbital periods of three to six years. Some asteroids have very eccentric orbits and travel very close to the sun‚ and a few larger

Dawn Hurley Dr. Jeff Smith Speech 101 10 May 2013 Solar Panels John Burroughs an American Naturalist in 1916 once said “The Fuel on Earth will be exhausted in a thousand years or more‚ and its mineral wealth but man will find substitutes for these in the winds‚ the waves and heat and so forth.” Have you ever thought of what would happen to civilization once we begin to exhaust one of our precious and efficient source of energy‚ Oil? Luckily Scientists have been researching the answer

umerous ways are presented to conserve energy. The process of conserving energy is not only how but also on what to use for it. Solar energy is one alternative energy source that would be converted to electricity by the use of these solar panels. Most solar panels are using silicon to produce the panels. The cells that are contained in these solar panels are normally silicon. These individual cells are shrinking all the time and becoming cheaper to produce. Solar panels provide users with a source for

Geothermal energy vs coal powered energy‚ what say you? Geothermal energy is a renewable source of energy generated and stored in the Earth. Coal powered energy is a source of energy produced from the natural resources of the Earth. Geothermal energy and coal powered both have many uses especially in generating electricity. In this field‚ they are similar as electrical energy is generated in a similar concept. Heat from the Earth’s crust and heat produced during the burning of coals are both used

satellite television. Just think of where we would be without this everyday items. "An Earth-like planet spotted outside our solar system is the first found that could support liquid water and harbor life." This comes from a NASA researcher. New life on other planets could mean so much for the future of humans. The only way to keep finding out new information about our solar system and beyond is to spend money to research it. The only way to prove that there is life on other planets is to conduct

Alternative Energy Sources Fossil fuels will not last forever. If the human race wishes to continue to live the way we do‚ then we have to look at alternative energy sources such as: geothermal‚ nuclear‚ solar‚ wind‚ and hydroelectric energy. Alternative energy sources are not without faults‚ but along with faults‚ there are benefits and solutions to the issues. Geothermal energy is a well-proven energy resource that can be used to provide both heat and electricity. Geothermal energy is very predictable

The Solar System The solar system still to this day one of the most fascinating subjects of study in the science world. In our time‚ we are one of the first generations to see the planets of our solar system up close‚ and we have been able to view evolution of these planets through time. Our solar system consists of a middle aged star called the Sun‚ 9 planets‚ about 100 moons‚ thousands of asteroids‚ millions of icy bodies‚ and many comets revolving around all of it. We can begin by looking

Energy is one of the most important factors in today’s living. Energy is used for many reasons. For example: helping maintain the flow of businesses‚ transporting goods and services to different places. Most of our daily activities‚ if not all‚ require some type of energy. According to the Energy Project‚ “We need energy for everything -- to power our homes‚ drive our cars‚ use technology and even to feed and clothe us.” Even the resources we use on a daily basis‚ such as our phones or the Internet
