The Planets

with facts and opinions, Pluto should be a planet. Scientists have been debating for years whether Pluto should considered a planet and part of our solar system. Pluto should still be a planet regardless of its size, and there are plenty more information to understand why it should be a planet, especially in our solar system. First of all, according to, Discovery Education, “For 80 years, schoolchildren have been taught that the Solar System has nine planets, from innermost Mercury to outermost…

The Planets is the most successful and arguably the best recognized composition of Gustav Holst. Although Gustav composed some outstanding works after The Planets, none of them achieved recognition of the same level as The Planets. The Planets was composed while Holst was working as a music master. Holst had done some works before The Planets, which he considered as failures and such failures made him desperately think of a genre topic that could be phenomenal for his ideas of composition of…

assignment on gas planets. My teacher asked us to make a travel brochure on a gas planet. The expectation was that we needed to have overall brochure planet information, a life support system (hotel design), an alien drawing with a description, travel time, and a good effort and design. This assignment related to other assignments we had been given because we were previously learning about the solar system.The point of this assignment was to get a better understanding of the gas planets and to…

aside.Pluto feels left out like the chip.Now he is not considered a planet,but i think he is. He is just a little different like the burnt chip. Pluto is the same like the other chip just a little unrelated to the other planets.Pluto is a planet because it complies with two requirements to be a planet.Pluto orbits around the sun,and Pluto also spherical.Pluto is dwarf planet like the others in the our solar system. To be a planet you have to orbit around the sun.Pluto orbits around the…

Christopher Tran EAS 1601: Writing Assignment 1 13 October 2015 Why Giant-Planet Cores do not Spiral Towards their Parent Stars http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v520/n7545/full/520040a.html Why are gas giant planets of exoplanetary systems at a distance of at least one astronomical unit from their host stars? As we learned in class, the gas giants form by accreting and colliding with smaller solid bodies from the disk. According to Duncan, this process of accretion can occur relatively fast…

Have you ever wonder why the planets are in the order they are in? What makes an inner planet? Are the inner planets the only ones found with life? The four inner planets are called terrestrial planets and they are the four closest to the sun. There are four inner planets: mercury, venus, earth, and mars. They are the closest to the sun. inner planets exist around stars and each one of them has a central care mostly made of iron. They are called inner planets because they are closer to the sun…

Is Pluto a planet? This is the question many astronomers are debating. Pluto used to be considered a planet but back in 2006, it was taken of its title and was considered a dwarf planet. Many astronomers believe Pluto is a planet, and many believe it is not. This is a modern day debate for astronomers. Pluto was first discovered in 1930 by Clyde W. Tombaugh at the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff Arizona. Pluto is a very, very, very cold planet and is believed to be covered with ice. The…

recognized that the thing they thought was a star was actually a planet. This planet moved more quickly than all the others.Eventually, In the early 1600s, Mercury was discovered but unfortunately no one knows who discovered the planet but we do know what group of people discovered it. Scientist have studied Mercury's age as well and they believe that mercury is about 4.503 billion years old. Surprisingly only two countries have studied the planet Mercury The Japan Aerospace Exploration…

Mars otherwise known as the “red planet” because of the iron oxide surface on the planet that gives it a red color coat, is one point five hundred and twenty four astronomical units away from the sun. That’s one hundred and forty one point six million miles from the sun making it the fourth planet from the sun. It can easily be seen from Earth because of its red color. According to Nasa, “Mars is named for the ancient Roman god of war”. The Romans chose the name God Of War because it “resembles…

Ch. 11 3. Jovian planets have layered interiors with very high internal temperatures and pressures. The core’s are about 10 times the size of Earth’s consisting of metals, rock, and hydrogen compounds. Jupiter, on the other hand is made almost entirely of hydrogen and helium 4. Because of its large size, Jupiter loses heat very slowly. The planet is still slowly contracting. Contraction converts gravitational energy into thermal energy. Neptune also uses contraction as a way of generating…
