A zeppelin is a rigid airship; it is a type of airship that is supported with a metal framework, instead of being filled with a lifting gas, like a blimp. The term zeppelin is associated with German airships that were manufactured by the Luftschiffbau Zeppelin of Germany. Both the zeppelin and Luftschiffbau Zeppelin Company were founded by Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin. Airships, blimps, and dirigibles are practically synonyms and are basic terms for any lighter than air craft that is powered and…

5th planet from the sun. It is the 4th brightest planet. Jupiter was first discovered by Pioneer 10. After Pioneer 11, Voyager 1, Voyager 2, and Ulysses visited Jupiter. Jupiter is mostly made up of gases. Jupiter has a combination of hydrogen and helium. With traces of water, Methane, Ammonia and rock. Jupiter has a similar composition to Saturn but Jupiter most likely has a core of rocky material. Jupiter has a mass 1.8986*10(27) kilograms. Jupiter has a high velocity wind which are confined…

power sources known today. Nuclear fusion and fission makes a lot of excess usable energy. It produces a lot more energy than wind, solar, coal, or fossil fuels do, and they actually are better for the environment than coal or fossil fuels, producing helium rather than carbon monoxide.In short, nuclear power is a good idea because we can take care of the nuclear waste, the reactors have better safety measures and protocols than normal factories, is more cost efficient, and it better for the…

Gottfried Galle, and Urbain Le Verrier. The reason for Neptune being -10 degrees is because it’s eight planets away from the sun. A way to describe Neptunes physical features is “Neptune has an incredibly thick atmosphere comprised of 74% hydrogen, 25% helium and approximately 1% methane. Its atmosphere also contains icy clouds and the fastest winds recorded in the solar system. Particles of icy methane and minor gases in the extremities of the atmosphere give Neptune its deep blue colour.”…

rnest Rutherford was born on August 30, 1871, in Spring Grove, on the South Island of New Zealand. Rutherford resided in a family of 12 children, whose mother was a teacher and strongly believed in a good education for her children. Without this education, Rutherford would not have affected the atomic structure as much as he did. Rutherford, specializing in Physics, in 1895 was the very first research student at University of Cambridge’s Cavendish Laboratory in London. While at the Cavendish Lab…

Earth, where we live. What you happen if we had no sun? What would happen if there was only poisonous gases? Earth as we know it could have turned out a lot different then it is just by these little things we didn’t know was out there, in space. Earth’s atmosphere is thick enough to prevent poisonous rays of radiation from getting to it. The earth’s rotation is gradually slowing down because of the moon. ‘’As a single footstep will not make a on the earth, so a single thought will not make a…

night from 100 kelvin to a warm 700 kelvin during the day. One day on Mercury is equal to 58 days on Earth and a year is equal to 88 days. Mercury has one solid lithosphere that covers the planet. It's atmosphere contains small amounts of hydrogen, helium, and oxygen. The radius of Mercury is…

Before the world was born, a giant, lone, barren planet, stood at what seemed to be the center of the universe. God had created the spirit of Hellix, and the Solar Blade. This planet had a red-brown tint to its ground, covered in Ignis Redstone powder, the most flammable substance in the universe. The ground was completely rugged, with cracks all over the surface. The spirit of Hellix was spawned onto the surface of the giant planet, holding the Solar Blade. Hellix made his long embarkment to…

formulated the mnemonic device, “Oh Be a Fine Girl, Kiss Me”, which greatly aided astronomers in their own discoveries in the generations to come (sdsc). For example, fellow astronomer Cecilia Payne utilized Cannon’s findings to prove that hydrogen and helium are the main components of stars (Wikipedia). In 1922, the International Astronomical Union adopted Cannon’s stellar classification system; in fact, it is still used today…

substance heterogeneous mixture 1.14 Give the chemical symbol or name for each of the following elements, as appropriate: (a) carbon, (b) nitrogen, (c) titanium, (d) zinc, (e) iron, (f) P, (g) Ca, (h) He, (i) Pb, (j) Ag. C N Ti Zn Fe Phosphorus Calcium Helium Lead Silver 1.16 You are hiking in the mountains and find a shiny gold nugget. It might be the element gold, or it might be “fool’s gold,” which is a nickname for iron pyrite, FeS2. What kinds of experiments could be done to determine if…
