behavior of other objects in space. In August 2006 the International Astronomical Union downgraded the status of Pluto to "dwarf planet." This means that from now on only the rocky worlds of the inner Solar System and the gas giants of the outer system will be “named”as “planets”. The “inner Solar System” is the region of space that is smaller than the radius of Jupiter’s orbit around the sun. It contains the asteroid belt as well as the terrestrial planets‚ Mercury‚ Venus‚ Earth‚ and Mars. The “gas

implored me to join the paradox. While everyone was flustered I would have been oppressed and I’m not a very hardy person. I would have felt melancholy‚ but back to learning about the universe. It is true that we only have 8 planets. However‚ the solar system is comprised of 100s of different miscellaneous worlds which are very adequate. Some of the moons and minor planets are more massive than Mercury. Some have active volcanoes and oceans of liquid methane which is quite hazardous and random. Almost

Kepler’s belief was that the sun exerted a force on the planets orbiting it. In 1596‚ at the age of 25‚ he published a book called Mystery of the Cosmos. His book logically explained why the sun lies at the center of the solar system. He noticed that Mercury and Venus always seem to be close to the sun‚ unlike Mars‚ Jupiter and Saturn. This is because Mercury and Venus orbits are closer to the sun than Earth’s. Kepler said that if the sun and all the planets orbited Earth‚

they usually envision homes on Mars or perhaps Earth’s moon. Colonization of those bodies is in fact much less desirable than orbital colonization‚ even though Mars and the Moon are the only practical solid bodies suitable for colonization in the solar system‚ at least for the next few centuries. Venus is far too hot. Mercury experiences extreme temperatures‚ as the days and nights are so long. Jupiter‚ Saturn‚ Neptune‚ and Uranus have no solid surface i.e. they have a gaseous surface. Pluto is very

Gabe Bambarakos Mrs.Rowse Borelli English 10-F 12 April 2017 Exoplanets An exoplanet can be defined as a planet that orbits a star outside the solar system. One of the many exoplanets that could possibly be habitable in the near future are far away. For example‚ Kepler-186 is around 500 light years aways to put that in perspective that is around 5‚878‚625‚373‚183.607731 Miles away. That is why we know so little about these planets that could support life on them. Starting off‚ what is some of

In the outer limits of our solar system there is a planet unlike any other‚ Pluto. Pluto was discovered in February of 1930 by an American astronomer‚ Clyde Tombaugh. It is the only planet to have been discovered by an American. All though we have known of the existence of Pluto for over thirty years now‚ there are still many mysteries surrounding this celestial body. Being the farthest planet has made it difficult to study Pluto‚ Adding to the obscurity of this strange planet is that the capability

The debris from this collision collected in an orbit around Earth to form the Moon. Capture theory - The Moon was a wandering body that formed elsewhere in the solar system‚ captured by Earth’s gravity as it passed close by. 5. What function does the Moon have for Earth? The moon keeps the tide equalized
