Humans live on a small planet in a tiny part of a vast universe. "This part of the universe is called the solar system‚ and is dominated by a single brilliant star-the sun." (Skywatching 230) The solar system is the earth ’s neighbourhood and the planets Mercury‚ Venus‚ Mars‚ Jupiter‚ Saturn‚ Uranus‚ Neptune and Pluto are the Earth ’s neighbours. They all have the same stars in the sky and orbit the same sun. Scientists believe the solar system began about 5 billion years ago‚ perhaps when

the formation of the sun and our planets. What is this method I am talking about? I am speaking of the Nebular Hypothesis. The person who came up with the Nebular Hypothesis‚ steps of the Nebular Hypothesis are quite informative‚ the logic behind it‚ and the difference between a hypothesis‚ theory‚ and Scientific Law will hopefully open your eyes to a wonderful exciting view on our Solar System. In 1755‚ Immanuel Kant was the first person to discuss the planet formation. He believed that it

I was given the opportunity to write an article on this extraordinary discovery that I made. I will be able to give anyone who is remotely interesting in this discovery all the hard facts on it. I discovered planet Neo in the year 2080. In the Year 2080 the condition to support life was not favorable since there wasn’t any form of water presence on the planet‚ and water is

First‚ we’ll make sure we know what these terms mean. Igneous and metamorphic rocks: igneous – rocks that have formed from the cooling of magma. Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have been altered. Amphibole etc. These are types of minerals that are part of the recipe of igneous rocks. Plutonic: cooled beneath the earth surface Felsic: more feldspar mineral and more silica Mafic – more magnesium and iron rich minerals. Peridotite – the rock that forms in the mantle – lots of minerals

1. An atmosphere (New Latin atmosphaera‚ created in the 17th century from Greek ?tµ?? [atmos] "vapor"[1] and sfa??a [sphaira] "sphere"[2]) is a layer of gases surrounding a planet or other material body of sufficient mass[3] that is held in place by the gravity of the body. An atmosphere is more likely to be retained if the gravity is high and the atmosphere’s temperature is low. Earth’s atmosphere‚ which contains oxygen used by most organisms for respiration and carbon dioxide used by plants‚ algae

discovered‚ the university of California at Berkeley put out this statement‚ “Marcy and Butler were the ones who last year confirmed the first discovery of a planet outside our solar system‚ 51 Pegasi. ‘After the discovery of 51 Peg everyone wondered if it was a freak‚ a one in a million observation‚’ Marcy said. ‘The answer is no. Planets aren’t rare after all. These new discoveries are important because they spawn a new subfield of astrophysics‚ the study of planetary systems‚’”(Sanders 2). With
