Solar System

pressure of a liquid surface is a hundred thousand times greater than it is on Earth.Neptune has the wildest and strongest weather in the solar system its atmosphere has dark spots which can come and go and it is the windiest planet in the solar system average temperatures equal -112 degrees Celsius because it's so far away from the sun doesn't receive as much solar energy many people discovered Neptune and all of them found it in different ways mathematician Alex Brevard astronomers John couch…

active in our Solar System, Europa, which is covered in frozen water, which could be covering a slushy, liquid ocean of water, Ganymede, this moon is actually larger than Mercury, and happens to be the only moon in the Solar System that generates a magnetic field on its own, and Callisto, whose surface has some small craters which show indications of recent geologic activity, but is mostly heavily cratered, some of which may have occurred shortly after the creation of the Solar System. These…

theory about how our Solar System was formed. It is the theory that our Solar System was formed from massive clouds of gas and dust. Then, for some reason over the span of billions of years, the cloud collapsed in on itself. The denser areas of the cloud started to pull in more matter and started to rotate. The pressure caused it to get hotter and hotter until it created the Sun. The material that was left over turned into a protoplanetary disc. The idea that the Solar System was created by a…

Mars is the 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…

removed from the planet list and was classified as a dwarf plant. This not only changed countless textbooks across the globe, it has removed a little piece from the hearts of all that learned and loved the last little guy in line; far, far across the solar system. “Smaller than the Earth’s moon, Pluto was discovered in 1930 and was considered the ninth planet. A girl in Britain, then 11 years old is credited with naming Pluto after the Roman god of the underworld.” (Plant No More) This…

for a ninth planet in our solar system which he called planet X. But as Percival was looking for it he died in 1916 with no prevail, he had gotten pictures but planet X was very faint in the pictures, and so after 10 years the search for the planet began again but this time a 23 year old astronomer named Clyde Tombaugh who proved the existence of the mysterious planet in 1930; the planet was named Pluto after discovery.Pluto was called the smallest planet in our solar system and the ninth planet…

Jupiter has been visited by two Voyagers and currently has Juno in its orbit, which is actually run by solar power. Saturn has not been visited often but currently has Cassini in its orbit and that is the first spacecraft to orbit Saturn. Voyager 2 has flown by both Neptune and Uranus, being the only craft to do so. I think some of the benefits that can come…

discover just what the origin of comets is while understanding just what the relationship between comets and the interstellar material they disburse during flight of which is considered by many is regarded by many, to be the origin of the entire Solar System. “Stardust ,”will be the first spacecraft to witness, at close proximity, how a comet changes as it approaches the increasing intensity of the Sun’s radiation. The comet’s atmosphere was expected at this time to go in a coma state and…

The Kepler mission was brought to life, based on the basic human want to know if we really are the only form of life in the universe and if there are any other planets out there with the same conditions needed for life as on Earth. Kepler has been “specifically designed to survey our region of the Milky Way galaxy to discover hundreds of Earth-size and smaller planets in or near the habitable zone and determine the fraction of the hundreds of billions of stars in our galaxy that might have such…

discover the Solar System’s true age. For thousands of years, people have thought the Solar System and everything inside it to be created only several thousand years ago. Whereas many people now days have discovered that there is a considerable amount of evidence to suspect the Solar System is actually billions of years old. Fairly recent discovers have brought to light that there is also counter evidence to disprove the billion year old theory. Those supporting that our Solar System was…
