Psysics Behind Changes in Planetary Orbit

Planet Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the fifth largest of the planets of the Solar System. Earth’s surface is 71 percent water and is the only astronomical planet currently known where life exists. Earth is our home planet. Scientist and astronomers have studied our planet for Centuries and they have discovered much about our planet. Scientist have gained so much more knowledge of our Solar System in the last half-century after the NASA launched the first spacecraft and travel beyond Earth’s atmosphere has opened up to those who wish to explore. In the following paragraphs, we will discuss Earth and the

There are some people who worry that when they 're outside, if they don 't keep a

During the first millennium B.C. scientists realized that astronomy had to become more scientific. Middle Eastern and Chinese cultures started studying the Sun, stars and the planets more closely in an attempt to learn more about our position in the universe.. Star positions also became important tools in understanding directions, and helping with navigation. One philosopher stated in 434 B.C. that the Sun was a ball of fire 60 kilometres in diameter, hovering 6500 kilometres above Earth’s surface. Around 130 B.C., Ptolemy wrote Almagest, which was a huge collection of astronomical data which included mathematical models, information about eclipses, and planetary and stellar positions and movements. It remained a major go to book for astronomy for hundreds of years, and was not seriously challenged until Copernicus disputed the geocentric model of the solar system in the 1500’s

In the book “Orbiting Jupiter” by Gary D. Schmidt, there are many literary elements that are displayed throughout the book. The main character, Joseph, is a very quiet, and an independent character. He also keeps to himself and in extremely personal. Additionally, he does not show a lot emotions towards others, and he choices to keep his thoughts to himself. Through the book, there are many themes and universals truths that are displayed. The deeper the reader gets into the book, the more they find out about Joseph and why he acts like he does. The universal truth is to not judge a person based on there cover. Base people on what they are like on the inside, not the outside. Before the situation and complications that occurred with Madeleine, Joseph was a

As mentioned earlier, Pluto has a rather unusual orbit. Pluto, while it is the furthest planet from the sun, for twenty years during its two-hundred and forty nine year orbit, it is actually the eighth planet, crossing over Neptune’s orbit. Regardless of the fact that the orbits of the two planets cross, their orbits will not allow for them to ever collide. This is mainly due to Pluto’s orbiting not staying in the elliptic plane. Because of its unusual orbit, Pluto travels above and below Neptune as the cross, avoiding collision. What also allows these two bodies to cross paths and avoid impact is that when Pluto is at one side of the sun, Neptune is at the other. This is a result of Pluto taking three times as long to make one orbit around the sun in comparison to Neptune.

Other planets do affect the comet's orbit as each planet has their own gravitational pull. That being said, the gravitational pull from the other planets are minimal when compared to the pull from the sun. That means the comet's orbit would appear to only be affected by the Sun if an observer wasn't watching close enough.

This film takes an interesting twist to evolution. Instead of the asteroid that hit earth and causes mass extinctions, the asteroid missed Earth. Bob Peterson, who came up with the original concept and story, does an amazing job with the “What If?”

Asteroids left unchecked can be very dangerous to Earth. According to the Crater Data Chart, some craters have a diameter of “300 km”. That would cause so much destruction if it landed in a place where people live! Also, in the Tunguska Meteor Impact, it says some asteroids (like Tunguska) release “energy equivalent to about 185 Hiroshima bombs”. One Hiroshima bomb was absolutely catastrophic. Imagine how much damage one hundred and eighty five of those bombs could do!

The presence of other planets does affect the comet's orbit since all of the planets have their own gravitational pulls. How much the other planets affect the comet's orbit is a different question, but whether the effect is slight or major, the comet definitely is affected. The sun is the biggest piece of mass in our system, so its pull would be stronger than say Mars', but Mars' gravitational pull would still affect the comet.

In today's world, we have very advanced technology. There have been many new technological and medical advancements as we entered the new century. The Internet allows us to shop, talk, and find valuable information on very scarce topics, and even check stocks with a simple click of a button. Medical advancements had recently been discovered on "The Human Genome Projects," the first gene was mapped and within a short period of time we will have mapped out all the genes in a human chromosome. This is absolutely amazing because we will now be able to reveal the many causes of serious deadly diseases. Throughout the years, we have gained the technology to send astronauts into space to gather new information about our

In our solar system today there are over 30,000 asteroids flying around in all direction colliding with other asteroids and planets, without a care about the destruction they might convey. Our planet Earth is caught right in the middle of all of this action and is liable to entire extinction of any life forms on the planet if a large enough asteroid crosses its path. Any single asteroid has the possibility to erase thousands of years of history and wipeout the human race, as we know it.

This review of literature discuss the main terms,and ideas related to the experiment conducted,and seeks an explanation on why it happen. The topic will cover kinetic energy, gravity,velocity, and force of impact. Even if we know the process of conservation of energy to an object that is falling allowing us to predict its impact velocity, as well as the kinetic energy. However we cannot predict the impact force without knowing how far it will travel after impact.

The planet Earth could be defined as one small piece to an extremely large puzzle within our Galaxy. With out, the Galaxy would not function in the same way as it does now. Inside our planet are several different resources that are used every day. Whether this is direct use such as drilling for oil, or indirect use such as over grazing our land to feed the animals that will in turn feed humans, the point is the Earth is feeling the effects of it. Some argue that we will never run out of resources, at least not in our lifetime; others believe that we are overusing resources and through this we are minimizing our chances of

Orbital mechanics is the application of ballistic and celestial mechanics to motion, especially pertaining to rockets and spacecraft. Many famous physicists and mathematicians have helped develop equations, formulas, and laws to understand different aspects of orbital mechanics; such as Newton with centripetal force and the gravitational constant (GM) and also Kepler and his three laws of planetary motion. Though my interest did not sprout from who was involved with orbital mechanics, but the orbital mechanics themselves. I’ve always had an interest in astronomy and physics, and this seems like the perfect combinations of both.
