Ever since grade school you were taught that our solar system has nine planets. Sadly that is no longer the case; in 2006 astronomers have decided that Pluto no longer qualifies as a planet. Pluto is now considered a “Dwarf Planet” and has caused a lot of controversy among astronomers. A dwarf planet is not even considered to be a planet‚ and there are projected to be hundreds of them in our galaxy. Pluto is being demoted to what amounts as a third class citizen in our galaxy.

Fredrick was able to observe beyond the beginning of the universe‚ where most of the other astronomers of that day focused. In 1781 as he was searching for double stars‚ Fredrick identified an unusual object. Immediately‚ he knew there was more to the solar system than what the naked eye could detect. At first‚ what he thought he was observing was a comet. But just four days later he recognized that the

Solar power or solar energy is a technology that converts the power of the sun into usable energy. It is a resource that cannot be used up by us using it. Much of the world ’s required energy can be supplied directly by solar power. There are several types of solar

time I was told that the product‚ Zero Pedal‚ which I need to expand the sales to the southwestern part of America‚ have a “glitch”. The product engineer Doug‚ who’s also my friend‚ claimed that the Zero Pedal will accelerates dangerously after the solar panels have been exposed to temperatures exceeding 100 degrees Fahrenheit for four hours. My predecessor also found this glitch‚ he present a cost per bike to fix the defect to the board. But Robert claims the report is incomplete and has a major divergent

If your car is an older one‚ consider upgrading to a more fuel efficient car‚ it will save you a lot of money in the long run; • Consider switching your electrical consumption to more green sources‚ such as solar panels and wind turbines‚ if possible. You can slowly install one or two solar panels as you can afford to‚ and if you end up getting yourself off of the electrical grid‚ you will have no more electrical bills to pay. Aside from that‚ many local governments offer incentives to people to

Solar Energy Essay Fossil fuel comes from the earth‚ from the decomposition of dead living things underground. Fossil fuel is easy to get and is cheap‚ but fossil fuel takes millions of years to form and is not a renewable energy and it contains a large amount of carbon in it. There are some types of fossil fuel like; coal‚ natural gas and petroleum. Fossil Fuel makes electricity‚ motor oils and other things that are used in our daily lives. When fossil fuels are burnt‚ they produce heat‚ which

The Earth orbits the Sun in an elliptical uneven orbit and the distance between them varies depending on where the Earth lies in that orbit. The Sun is only an average size for a star but still accounts for 98% of the total matter in our solar system. The solar winds produced by the Sun extends to about 50AU‚ where AU is the distance from the Earth to the Sun. The lightning in the sky is nearly 3 times hotter than the Sun.

Sunspots and solar flares are similar in the way that magnetic fields are involved‚ or are believed to be involved with both occurrences. Sunspots occur where areas with strong magnetic fields are located‚ while solar flares are believed to happen due to
