The Lagrange point phenomenon exists in any system wherein the gravitational fields of two large bodies interact to create five “sweet spots”‚ within which lies the exact centripetal force necessary for a smaller object to remain in a constant orbit with the larger objects. There are five Lagrange points within the Sun-Earth orbit‚ as well as five Lagrange points within the Earth-Moon orbit. These points will vary according to the mass of the two larger objects‚ as well as the distance between

The purpose of my science fair project was to investigate more about Jupiter. I researched what Jupiter contains inside and when Jupiter was discovered. I choose this project because I went to Washington D.C and went to the Air and Space museum. I learned more about space exploration not specifically on Jupiter. Since I learned more about Jupiter and that Galileo Galilei used a rudimentary telescope to discover Jupiter. That’s when I got interested. Materials were collected to make Jupiter and their

Slide 3 What is Saturn? Saturn is the second biggest planet in the solar system with a mean radius of about 58‚ 232 km but it is the least dense planet in the solar system. It’s density is about 0.687 grams per cubic centimetre making it the only planet less dense than water. Saturn spins faster than any other planet except Jupiter‚ completing a rotation roughly every 10 and half hours. The rapid spinning causes Saturn to bulge at its equator and flatten at its poles making it the flattest of the

third-largest planetary radius and fourth-largest planetary mass in the Solar System. Though it is visible to the naked eye like the five classical planets‚ it was never recognized as a planet by ancient observers because of its dimness and slow orbit. It was the first planet to be discovered in modern history. It was discovered in 1781 by Sir William Herschel (Encyclopedia: Uranus (planet)) and expanded the known boundaries of the Solar System for the first time in modern history. Uranus was also the first

Lastly another issue with these so called “rules” is that a planet clearing a orbit depends on the star‚ not just the planet. A system called the scattering parameter gives even more evidence towards pluto being a planet. This

My creation story In my opinion I believe the Islamic creation story which basically believes that God (Allah) all mighty clicked his fingers and proclaimed “Be” and it was. This is how I believe Allah crated the universe. Here is the creation story in my own words. Long ago when there was nothing‚ Allah (god) created the universe‚ the world‚ and our planet Earth‚ everything except for his self Allah the most high. (God has no mother or father‚ No one created Allah‚ all mighty.) Allah the Almighty

ACTIVITY 1 1. What is a solar system? ANS. Solar System is known as the Sun’s family. 2. Why is it called a system in itself? ANS. It is called the system in itself because‚ Sun’s planets and their moons and asteroids which travel around the sun in definite paths called orbits. 3. What are the members of the Solar System? ANS. The members of the Solar System are Jupiter‚ Saturn‚ Uranus‚ Neptune‚ Earth‚ Venus‚ Mars‚ and Mercury. 4. What is the basis for classifying a planet as an inner or

Neptune is the eighth and farthest planet from the Sun in the Solar System. Named for the Roman god of the sea‚ it is the fourth-largest planet by diameter and the third largest by mass. Neptune is 17 times the mass of Earth and is slightly more massive than its near-twin Uranus‚ which is 15 times the mass of Earth but not as dense.[12] On average‚ Neptune orbits the Sun at a distance of 30.1 AU‚ approximately 30 times the Earth–Sun distance. Its astronomical symbol is ♆‚ a stylized version of the

their effect on earth and its people.<br><br>Comets are leftover scrubs of material that did not make it to planethood in the events creating our solar system. They orbit in a perpetual Deepfreeze until some subtle gravitational nudge upsets the delicate balance. The Great Falls begins. First a snowball drifts towards the sun and steadily accelerates. As solar radiation heats the comets the ice within sublimates‚ escaping as gas from vents from the surface. Sometimes jets of sublimating ice whirl off
