between the terrestrial and jovian planets? Which planets fall into each group? There are a few notable differences between terrestrial and jovian planets. Terrestrial planets are smaller in size and mass and jovian planets are larger in size and mass. Terrestrial planets are mostly made of rocks and metals‚ while jovian planets are mostly made of hydrogen‚ helium‚ and hydrogen compounds. This is why jovian planets are nicknamed “gas giants.” Terrestrial planets have solid surfaces which are warmer

Solar System Our solar neighborhood is an exciting place. The Solar System is full of planets‚ moons‚ asteroids‚ comets‚ minor planets‚ and many other exciting objects. Learn about Io‚ the explosive moon that orbits the planet Jupiter‚ or explore the gigantic canyons and deserts on Mars. How Did The Solar System form? This is an important question‚ and one that is difficult for scientists to understand. After all‚ the creation of our Solar System took place billions of years before there

(disambiguation) View of Jupiter’s active atmosphere‚ including the Great Red Spot. An atmosphere (New Latin atmosphaera‚ created in the 17th century from Greek ἀτμός [atmos] "vapor"[1] and σφαῖρα [sphaira] "sphere"[2]) is a layer ofgases 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

Why are some planets made up of gases and our planet completely isn’t? Planets closer to the sun are in better conditions and are well suited for rock and metal to condense. The farther away you get from the sun the conditions will change making the area not as suitable. That is why Earth is in the perfect place for it to sustain life. Planets that are made of gases and condensed ice have passed a boundary called the frost line. Planets behind the frost line have conditions cold enough for ice to

believed that the asteroids were the remains of a planet that was destroyed many years ago. This theory can not be proven true because‚ the location of the asteroid belt could not be home to a planet due to Jupiters gravitational pull. It is now believed that asteroid are planetesimals broken down by collision‚ also known as a minute planet. A planetesimal is a body that could or did come together with many others under gravitation to form a planet. This theory explains why the silicate rich asteroids

also infused with the nature of the cosmos: that of sunshine - starshine. The impregnation of sunshine into the terrestrial realms has generated the myriad phenomena of life. Born‚ it is told‚ in the primeval oceans of a young half-billion year old planet and its tidal moon‚ the first stirrings of microbiological Gaian life appeared. The terrestrial atmosphere‚ it is said‚ was then (some 4 billion years ago) very much like both the Martian and Venusian atmospheres are now ... about 96%

the violent history’s and why we should car about the planet Jupiter. After having a 5-year journey from Earth to Jupiter‚ people are wondering why should we care. Well this video states that the planet Jupiter is the second most important planet in our universe. Also‚ states that it holds the secrets to the formation of the solar system. For the size of Jupiter‚ they consider this as a monster. It mass is very large that‚ with all our planets combined except the sun it weights more. To be exact it

Orange-red flames cover the bottom half while the top half looks to be outer space with two blue planets. The planet closest to the top looks similar to Saturn; the other is unidentifiable and is on the right side of the poster.

need room on the planets to do this research‚ and people may make the wrong decision by buying property‚ they may not have enough money to do anything after and that would result in more poor people. Buying and owning land in space may take away from being able to do research. NASA still has plenty of facts to learn about space and the planets and even the moon. We need to continue doing research so we can have more knowledge in knowing if there is actually life on certain planets and if we can even

There is no doubt that huge sums of money are being spent on space travel by government of advanced countries. Of course‚ it is important to explore outer space in-order to learn about other planets‚ search for life‚ however‚ perhaps it had better to care of problems on our planet and spend these sums on dealing with them? Perhaps‚ the strongest argument in favour of space travel is the overflow of population. The number of people is increasing‚ habitable land is decreasing‚ planet’s resources
