Neptune – Eighth planet from the sun and also known as the farthest (If Pluto isn’t a planet) Pluto – It is known as a dwarf planet in the Kuiper belt‚ a ring of bodies beyond Neptune. It was the first Kuiper belt to be discovered. 2. I think what makes a planet is the orbit around the sun and their celestial body. Scientist say that Pluto is now known as a dwarf planet in our solar system. Pluto is smaller than the Earth’s

Comets Belinda Scott Introduction to Physical Science – SCI 110 Dr. Paul A. Belony‚ Jr. | | A comet is a small body‚ roughly the size of a small town‚ in the Solar System. It is made up of ice‚ rock‚ dust‚ carbon dioxide‚ ammonia‚ methane and more. Some researchers think comets might have originally brought some of the water and organic molecules to Earth that now make up life here. Comets become visible as they near the Sun.

For many years different scientist have been researching and coming together on whether the planet Pluto should be considered a “dwarf planet” or a part of the regular planets.

The last exhibit we looked at before we had to go into the show was of a museum host talking about the Kuiper belt which is kind of like a asteroid belt but instead of being all rock‚ ice and metal the Kuiper belt is mostly frozen methane‚ ammonia and water. The wildest weather show was pretty amazing with the screen all around us creating a dome and every thing else being completely dark it make for a great

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

Chapter 14 Section 2 Notes: The Sun The sun produces energy through nuclear fusion. In the process of nuclear fusion‚ two atomic nuclei combine‚ forming a larger‚ more massive nucleus and releasing energy. Within the sun‚ hydrogen atoms join together to form helium. Such conditions exist in the sun’s core‚ or central region. The sun’s interior consists of the core‚ the radiation zone‚ and the convection zone. The sun’s energy is produced in its central core. The radiation zone is a region
