WHAT IF EARTH STOPS SPINNING? As we all know‚ planets spin. Our solar system was formed billions years ago from a spinning cloud of gas and dust. Nowadays‚ the Earth is turning at more than 16 hundreds kilometers an hour‚ bus it’s gradually slowing down about two seconds every one hundred thousand years. BUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THAT SLOWDOWN SPEEDS UP? If the speed of rotation were reduced by about one kilometer per hour‚ traffic air would face serious consequences. Most commercial aircrafts

Throughout the civilizations of the sun‚moon‚planet and stars have provided us to many types of calendars.Many people used our solar system to fit the civilization of our culture.Throughout our lifetime Specialist would research and would also study the hours and the amount of days and months that we have. Our question still nowadays is how did people create different calendars depending of the culture. Ancient calendars relied upon the apparent motions. As an example the sky determines

possibility that is already being weakly implemented today is asteroid mining. Just past Jupiter‚ there is a very large and possibly profitable asteroid belt. Some of these asteroids contain large amounts of silicone‚ which will bring the price of solar power down for earth if it can be effectively shuttled from the asteroid belt to earth. Some of these asteroids also contain both Gold and Platinum‚ both of which are very important for todays technology. (Kaufman) Space innovation will also bring

Centrifugal force - the tendency of rotating object to flee from the center of their rotation Obliquity - tilt of a planet’s axis Ecliptic - a plane in space defined by Earth’s orbit around the Sun; plane by which the orbit of all other planets in the solar system are compared Inclination - angle between plane of orbit and ecliptic plane Transit - passing of object in front of star‚ transit of planets can only occur on line of nodes; transit of Venus will occur next year and will not occur again until 2117

There are nine planets in the Solar system if you include Pluto and most of them contain many different things then each other. They are all unique in various ways. Although it does not apply to Pluto‚ the planets are split up into two sides; Jovian and Terrestrial. Pluto isn’t Jovian or Terrestrial. It’s density is too small for it to be considered a Terrestrial planet‚ but it also is made out of rock and ice (Kaitlin). To be a Jovian planet it would have to be made of of gas‚ so it was classified

generation to generation it would take roughly 600 generations of humans before they arrived based on today’s current life expectancy (3). This issue isn’t hugely significant as it isn’t currently considered feasible to send humans beyond the solar system. Perhaps in the future this will be more of an issue. In interstellar space‚ there isn’t really much of anything‚ and there’s a lot of interstellar space between things. However‚ once a vessel travelling at high speed (especially for a long time)

Jupiter’s “swirling red atmosphere”‚ images of volcanoes on Jupiter’s moon‚ Io‚ erupting 200 miles into space‚ and awesome pictures of Saturn’s rings. Voyager 1 took a different path to make a close flyby of Saturn’s moon‚ Titan‚ and then it left our solar system. Voyager 2 discovered ten new moons of Uranus and an earth-sized hurricane on Neptune. Both Voyagers went past Pluto‚ but never close enough to take pictures. The Voyagers sent back information through radio signals caught by 38 different

Our solar system consists of the sun and nine planets. Mercury is the closest planet to the sun. Mercury was named after the Roman God of Commerce and Thievery. It might have gotten its name because of the way it quickly appears and disappears from Earth’s view. Mercury is the second smallest planet in the solar system; Pluto is the only planet that is smaller. Earth’s diameter is about 7‚200‚ while tiny Mercury has less than half of that size‚ about 3‚000 miles in diameter. Mercury‚ a planet‚ is
