Earth was the center of the universe, and that all the stars, planets, and other celestial bodies orbited around it. However, as pivotal discoveries were made and new theories emerged, society gained a much more insightful understanding of the cosmos above. In the second century, an astronomer by the name of Claudius Ptolemy proposed his geocentric model of the solar system, which depicted Earth in the center of the universe and the planets and the Sun orbiting in concentric circles around it.…

Planet Z vs. Planet Io Liquid water, an energy source, and organic compounds are the three main things that are needed to support life. Planet X and Jupiter’s moon, Io are very interesting celestial bodies that could have life living on it. Although I think one planet is more likely to support life than the other, I think that life would be more likely on Planet Z than Io. Also, Planet Z has more of the requirements for life than Io. Another reason is that Planet Z has more Earth-like qualities…

These are Terrestrial planets. This brings us to the Core Accretion Model. According to our textbook “The Core Accretion Model is the belief that each Jovian planet formed by accretion of gas on a rocky core”. Rodger A. Freedman, Robert M. Geller, and William J. Kaufmann III. Universe tenth edition. Terrestrial planets are closer to the sun and are also inside of the asteroid belt. The surface of terrestrial planets are very rocky and contain metal. It is believed that our planets form from…

would be regarded as humans, followed by macroscopic life, microscopic life, and abiotic systems such as stars, planets and molecules. Further presupposed by Bostrom, it would be arrogant to assume humanity is the pinnacle of intelligence, whereby it is certainly possible that life outside of…

Should Pluto be a dwarf planet or a planet? There has been lots of debate on whether it should be a dwarf planet or a planet. Their is not a big difference between the dwarf planets and the planets.

It turned into a dwarf planet because it is lacking certain details and the orbit around it was…

discover what is in the universe. People sent probe outside of the Earth to study what is in the outside of the Earth and beyond the solar system where human being are living.

The planet Jupiter is one of the five objects to be visible from Earth in the solar system. Of these bodies it is the second largest behind the sun. Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar System with a mass of 1.899x1027kg orbiting at 5.2AU from the Sun. Jupiter is orbited by 67 moons of which the first four are called the Galilean moons as of their discovery in 1614 by Galileo. Jupiter formed about 4.6billion years ago from the cloud of dust and gas that made up the early Solar System.…
