Extrasolar planet

Planet Jupiter, the largest of the gas planets, reigns superiority in the solar system. It is the fifth planet from the sun and features unique properties that are unlike Earth and other planets. Jupiter is one of the five planets including; Mars, Saturn, Venus, and Mercury, that can be seen with a naked eye. Its massive size makes it hard to miss in the gleaming night sky. Due to their visibility, the planets have been observed by many cultures and were given various names. The Romans named…

As the Earth travels in its nearly circular orbit around the sun, it maintains a constant axial tilt of 23.4 degrees. This tilt causes the proximity of the northern and southern hemispheres of the globe to change during its annual trip around our local star. These changes in proximity and their impact on the amount of solar energy received by the northern and southern hemispheres are what causes the Earth to have seasons. As the incline of Earth’s axis brings the northern hemisphere closer to…

Jealousy and anger are common everywhere you go. From video games to real life countries, jealousy can always be found. In the story “All Summer in a Day” by: Ray Bradbury, a girl is put on Venus and is picked on by all the other Venusian kids for remembering the sun. They are mad, you see, because the sun only ever comes out every 7 years for only 2 hours. The reason for writing this is so the two themes of the story “All Summer in a Day,” which are jealousy and anger, can be shown and told to…

the earth is closest to the sun than any other time. When the earth is closest to the sun during this orbit is perihelion and furthest from the sun it is called aphelion (Nelson, 2012). Seasons on our planet are caused by the Earth’s titled axis. This tilt causes the top hemisphere of the planet to be closer to the…

The number one question that has been asked all over the world. Are aliens real? There are about six billion people on earth and everyone has a different point of view. There have been sighting all over the world. According to CNN “Sightings of unidentified aerial phenomena have increased, and in 1948 the U.S. Air Force began an investigation of these reports called Project Sign.” Unknown objects have been captured on camera by private individuals, professional pilots and the military. Even in…

Waffle Now is a restaurant that has, until now, chosen to pay their employees below minimum wage so that their servers can make up for what they do not revieve from the company in tips. The idea behind this is that the need for good tips from their costomers will create an incentive for employees doing well at their jobs. This is a plan that only works in theory, as there must always substanital tips from cusomers to fully make up for what the workers are not paid. Recently, the Waffle Now…

greatest subject of interest. This is due to the existence of water ice on its surface, and water vapour in its atmosphere. The existence of water is pivotal in the exploration of Mars, as it may hold vital information regarding the history of the planet. Scientists have implemented the ideology to ‘follow the water’, as the existence of water allows for life to grow, and more importantly, exist. This is reiterated in Rothschild and Mancinelli’s “observation that all terrestrial life requires…

elements and is essential to almost all life. Not only is the element carbon important in its solid form, but carbon dioxide is a gas that is even more essential to life. It is crucial to not only the survival of humans, but the survival of this entire planet. While carbon plays a big role on Earth, carbon is also important when it comes to all the elements, the formation of the carbon atomic nucleus occurs within a giant or supergiant star through the triple-alpha process (Chaisson, E. J., &…

kilometers per hour, but it takes 230 million years to make a full orbit. It has a mass that is estimated to be 1.988×1030 kg, which is 330,000 times the mass of Earth. This allows it to have a strong enough gravitational pull to have eight distant planets orbit around it. The diameter of the Sun is estimated to be 696,342±65 kilometers, which is 109 times the diameter of Earth. The average density of the sun is 1.408 g/cm3, which is only a quarter of the density on Earth.The temperature of the…

go to a different planet to live and try something new or stay here on Earth? Because Mars One is sending people on a one way trip to Mars to live and start building a civilization for the other people here on Earth. So would you go live on Mars for the rest of your desirable life or stay here and keep living the life you already are? So reason 1 why you should go to mars with Mars One is because you still get t.v, internet, a cell phone, and everything else but it’s a new planet and a new…
