The main character is sad because she was born on earth and moved to the planet she says she remembers the sun. A kid locks her in a closet and as the sun comes out the kids are playing outside. This shows that even win the sun comes up and the setting is a lot more happy that it still ends up being sad. The…

order from the sun. Mercury is the first closest to the sun and Jupiter is the fifth closest. This makes Mercury an inner planet and Jupiter an outer planet. Mercury, being the closest to the sun, is only 0.39 Astronomical Units, or 58,500,000 Kilometers. On the other hand, Jupiter is 5.20 Astronomical Units from the sun, or 780,000,000 Kilometers. As you can see, Mercury is much closer to the sun, but it orbits the sun a lot slower; Mercury takes 87.97 earth days to orbit the sun. Meanwhile,…

monoxide and probably has a small core with some metals. It got it’s name from an eleven year old girl named Venetia Burney who suggested naming it after the Roman god of death because it was most likely beyond freezing there that far away from the sun. Pluto also has five moons, Kerberos, Styx, Nix, Hydra, and Charon which is about half the size of Pluto’s. The small planet is only 1,400 miles wide making it slightly smaller than Earth’s moon. The orbital period for Pluto is 248 Earth years;…

orbit) is a jaw dropping 937AU, or 87,099,591,409 miles, from the sun. It is made up of Water, Methane, and Nitrogen ices. It's orbit is insanely long, the last time Sedna was in the same place in it's orbit as it is now, the New Stone Age was just beginning. It is a member of the inner oort cloud as well. It was Discovered by Michael Brown, Chad Trujillo, and David Rabinowitz. Sedna was about 8.4 billion miles away from the sun when it was discovered in 2003 by three american astronomers, mike…

comet. The comet chosen for this mission is Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko which is in the Jupiter family of Comets. Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko is thought to be a large dirty snowball around 4.4 kilometres in diameter whose orbit around the sun takes 6.6 years. This makes it a short period…

They have different sizes and shapes and they can turn into different things after they die based on their size and shape. The exact definition of a star is a fixed luminous point in the night sky that is a large, remote incandescent body like the sun, however, stars are much more than that. Stars are related to physics, and there are many branches of physics. However, the branch that is related to stars is the astronomy branch. Astronomers study everything there is to know about space and…

three different orbital parameters include Earth’s eccentricity, axial obliquity, and the earth’s precision. Earth’s orbital eccentricity can be explained by how the earth travels around the sun. The earth goes around the sun in an oval shape not a perfect circle. This means sometimes the earth is closer to the sun, and…

other friends died. He does not understand why he should live among all the great men who died in the war, as “[He doesn’t] know why the intrepid / sun touched the bayonet” (35-36). By calling the sun intrepid he make it seem like the sun was purposefully sending its rays to the bayonet to be scene by the speaker. The speaker does not understand why the sun or any other aspects of nature chose to save him while disregarding his friends, which leaves him unsettled as a survivor of the…

In the poem, Out of the Sea, Early by May Swenson, the subject is the love of nature. The speaker tells a story about how beautiful the sun rise is by comparing it to things that have never been imagined before. The speaker however, is a more complex character with different outlooks on the ocean. The way the speaker delivers his tone is through a calm voice, representing the ocean that he or she is conversing about. Based upon the word choice, we can infer that the speaker is a sailor that…

Solar Winds and the Martian Atmosphere The suns steadily releases charged particles from its upper atmosphere through the Solar System by solar winds. These winds have different effects depending on the properties of the planet. Earth, for example, has a very strong magnetic field as a result of a multitude of factors. Mars on the other hand does not have a strong magnetic field protecting it from the solar winds. It is believed that Ancient Mars had rivers and lakes, however it died billions of…
