Planet

discovered the planets orbit in a circular motion. Copernicus's idea opened the door for many other philosophers to create and provide more new ideas.…

researched Pluto’s orbit, physical properties, and history to give us a broad understanding of what Pluto is like and to see if a mission to Pluto would be feasible and beneficial to NASA. We found that Pluto has a unique orbit compared to other planets — it is both extremely elliptical and sometimes crosses Neptune's orbit. Pluto is also incredibly small and cold. It contains ice on it’s surface and was only discovered about 100 years ago. Because of what I learned, I believe that It would be…

Heraclides Ponticus and Aristarchus of Samos: “We know that the Earth is (or is not) at rest because...” The two philosophers Heraclides Ponticus and Aristarchus of Samos lived back to back as Ponticus lived from 390 BC – 310 BC and Samos lived 310 BC – 230 BC. Samos was a radical believer in the heliocentric theory of the universe, while Ponticus believed in the geocentric model; however, he believed that the Earth rotated on its axis, but it is at rest otherwise. Should these men have ever…

Hypothesis, all the planets around the Sun should all be tilted the same way. This is false, because we have learned that the inner planets and outer planets have entirely different tilts.…

fourth planet from the sun in our Solar System. Mars got its name from the Roman God of War. Mars means Ares in Roman. Ares is the Roman god of war. Mars is actually much smaller than Earth. It is the 7th biggest planet in our Solar System. The mass of Mars is 6.4169 *1023. That is slightly more than 10% of the Earths mass. It’s radius is 2,106 miles (3,390 Km). The force of gravity at the surface of Mars is 3,711 meters per second. Mars is a terrestrial planet which means that the planet is…

facilitation activity that was presented was called, Two Planets. Each team lives on their own planet and with this, they have a lot of their own resources, however, they need another resource, but this resource is only on the other team’s planet. Objective of this team building activity is to transfer all the people on one planet to the other planet and vice versa without falling into “outer space” or touching the area around the planets. Working as a team can truly make a difference in any…

that the Earth was the center of our Universe opposed to the Sun — referred to as a geocentric universe. The ancient Greeks has considered the Moon and the Sun as planets in addition to Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. The days of the week were later named after the gods who were believed to have been represented by these “planets”. In the third century B.C.E., Aristarchus of Samos presented the first known model in which the Sun was at the centre of the universe and the Earth…

of 2002, the European Space Agency (ESA) announced that their first mission to the planet Venus, titled Venus Express, would launch in 2005 (Abbott and Schiermeier, 2002; Hoofs et al., 2009). The Russian Soyuz-Fregat launcher in Baikonur Kazakhstan on November 9th 2005, launched Venus Express into space (Fabrega et al. 2007). After traveling a distance of 440 million km, Venus Express reached the orbit of the planet on April 11th 2006 (Fabrega et al. 2007). The polar elliptical orbit around…

project, I contributed as both a director and a media producer, constructing the background and settings of the narrative and completing all post-production tasks. The documentary video describes an exploratory visit by a spaceship in the year 2120 to a planet named Vars, which greatly resembles Earth in terms of its climate, inhabitants, and ability to support life. The astronauts who traveled to Vars soon discovered the reasons for its rise and fall through careful investigations. Despite its…

“Calla, what’s life like on Earth? I’ve never been, but I’ve always wanted to visit and see what life was like on a planet that hadn’t known about life in other parts of the universe for so long,” Ida attempts, trying to make conversation to lighten the dreary mood that had settled on them all once again. “It’s boring, I guess. Nothing notable. And, it’s not like people didn’t know about life in other parts of the universe, it’s just that Earth has done some… fairly questionable things and most…
