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…

Task 1: radioactive decay is a nuclei of some isotopes which are unstable. If a radioactive isotope decays the it will change and become a different atom with different number of protons. Radioactive decays also are a process which has an unstable atomic nucleus and which causes it to lose energy this because of radiation, for example there three main types of radioactive decay alpha, beta, and gamma particle. If a material has unstable nuclei it would be considered as radioactive. If an atom…

Evolutionism covers a wide variety of topics like stellar evolution which is the thought that the explanation of the primordial bang produced three elements hydrogen, helium, and lithium and then condensed to form the first stars. Chemical evolution which is the heat and pressure inside of the stars that acted on the Hydrogen and helium, and provided many of the chemicals we observe today. Macro evolution which was a well-known notion that was popularized by Charles Darwin that…

the night. Putting things together, it seemed to be right. She created gadgets to show Uncle Lance, from rocket shoes to helium pants. Knowing that her uncle was a zoologist who worked in the sun… She thought of an invention that was a home run! With a visor big and flat, Macy Mcneer had made him a hat. Using skills she was taught…

if the sun didn't exist several things wouldn't occur: the process of photosynthesis would not take place, oxygen cannot be created, thus, life cannot be present. The Sun is mostly composed of “ hydrogen and helium”(Helmenstine). Hydrogen atoms are compressed and fuse together, creating helium. This process is called nuclear fusion making the Sun a gigantic ball of molten gas and plasma. Hydrogen is one the most abundant elements that…

67 moons. All of its moons are denser than Jupiter because they are rocky like the terrestrial planets. Saturn is the second largest planet in the solar system, both in mass and density. Like most of the gas giants, Saturn is made of hydrogen and helium. Saturn has 62 moons, it has one of the largest moons in the solar system, Titan. It’s is even bigger than Mercury. Uranus is the second smallest volume in the gas planets, but it’s still larger than earth. Uranus has 27 moons, most of its moons…

cable was moved around so that the intensity is at the highest spot possible. The graph was then recorded on the computer to show the what wavelengths have the most intensity for visible light. This was recorded in the same way for hydrogen light, helium light, and black/UV light. In the second part of the lab I made verdigris. CuSO₄*5H₂O, water, and a magnetic stir bar were placed inside a beaker and put on a hot plate. Once the CuSO₄*5H₂O has dissolved and the solution is still stirring,…

galaxies as held by black holes. But is that really the case? The short period of growth of the universe started of as the Big Bang about 13.7 billion years ago. After the Big Bang the universe started to cool of, starting protons and neutrons, hydrogen, helium, lithium and more. Stars, planets, galaxies started to form during the process. According to the European Space Agency's Herschel Telescope have discovered the brightest galaxies say to be the most important. The Herschels Telescope has…

HR Diagrams The Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram, otherwise known as HR diagram, is a graph that shows many patterns and properties of stars based on plotting them by their temperature on the surface and their light they emit, or luminosity. Created in 1912, the HR diagram was made by two astronomers, Ejnar Hertzsprung and Henry Russell who found patterns with stars’ properties. The Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram shows how every star goes through different evolutionary stages. These evolutionary stages…

Death and dying is something that is going to impact us all during some point in our lives. Just as the way we will all dies varies, so does the grieving and mourning process that our friends and family experience afterward. After researching several topics about death and dying what I found to be the most interesting for me was assisted suicide. I was surprised to see how many people were willing to take their own lives, as well as how many people that were will to assist these people in doing…
