the only planet in our solar system capable of sustaining life? Why is Earth the only planet in the solar system that has plentiful liquid water and an atmosphere that can protect the planet from the harmful ultra-violet rays of the Sun? What makes Earth so special? These are some of the questions that will be explored in greater detail as we use Comparative Planetology to understand what makes Earth a habitat for life and what makes it so different from the other planets in our solar system.

According to “Chemheritage‚” “Rutherford studied at Canterbury College‚ and the University of New Zealand before moving to England in 1895 for postgraduate study at Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge.” (Chem Heritage). Here he was taught by another famous scientist‚ J. J. Thompson‚ and was the first graduate from the University of Cambridge. Because‚ Rutherford has studied and learned from one of the

Life on Other Planets Life on other planets‚ Is there another titan planet out there that harbors life? Scientist have found two such planets in a neighboring but distant Solar System. Which planets are habitable and is there already life there or basically in general‚ “Is there life in outer space?” That is the question and debate among astrologists and scientist alike about this discovery of two planets that orbit the red dwarf star of Gliese 581 (Gliese 581c.eu).

Dalton was the first scientist to help contribute to the atomic theory. He based his thought process off of Democritus‚ an ancient Greek philosopher‚ who stated that at one point you will not be able to break down matter anymore‚ he called this basic building block an atom (meaning not divisible). Democritus believed that everything around us such as metal‚ water‚ and wood were atoms‚ but Dalton believed and proved that it could be more basic than that. He started thinking of compounds such as water

The Sun The sun is the largest object in the solar system. It is a middle-sized star and there are many other stars out in the universe just like it. Even though it is only a middle-sized star it is large enough to hold over 1 million Earth ’s inside if it were hollow. The temperature on the sun is far too much for any living thing to bear. On the surface it is 10‚000 degrees Fahrenheit and the core is a stunning 27‚000‚000 degrees Fahrenheit. But don ’t worry we are over 90‚000 million

READING CLOSELY FOR DETAILS CHECKLIST I. APPROACHING TEXTS Reading closely begins by considering my specific purposes for reading and important information about a text. II. QUESTIONING TEXTS Reading closely involves: 1) initially questioning a text to focus my attention on its structure‚ ideas‚ language and perspective then 2) questioning further as I read to sharpen my focus on the specific details in the text. III. ANALYZING DETAILS Reading closely involves thinking deeply about the details

all of the many scientists who played a major role in the formation of the atomic theory‚ it is believed that Dalton‚ Rutherford‚ Thompson‚ Bohr‚ and Planck are the five most influential. The research of this theory has gone on for many years and each and every one of them have brought us closer to our current understanding of the atom today. Each one of them played a special role in the development process of the atom and most importantly‚ they all reflected on one another. Many influential scientists

The Size of the Solar System Overview • Become familiar with the scale of the planets vs. their distances. • Get an overview of the solar system. Introduction It is easy to flip to the index of an astronomy textbook to discover that‚ say‚ the Sun lies 150 million kilometers away from Earth. It is far more difficult (if not impossible)‚ however‚ to picture this distance in the human mind. In this exercise‚ we will learn to access the often unpalatable distances encountered in astronomy
