Essay about Solar System

There are many differences among our planets and moons in our Solar System. The geologic activity, composition, interior structure, magnetic field, and atmosphere are all factors that help give these planets and moons there identity. We have sent probes over the years to help examine these properties.

As you have seen at Dynamic Earth, the earth had an explosive beginning! The Universe and all things in it, galaxies, stars, planets and everything inside you came from a tiny speck no bigger than the head of a pin. It only took a HUGE explosion and BILLIONS of years, but the universe

The solar system was created 4.6 billion years ago by a gravitational collapse. A solar system is a star that has planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and meteoroids travel around it. The solar system contains eight known planets which are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune. There is around several hundred dwarf plants but only five are currently recognized. The solar system has about 181 moons which orbit around the planets in the solar system. There is also about 150 million asteroids and 3,406 comets also in the solar system.

Then red dwarf star that was discovered by Michal Gillion and his team with the spencer telescope. Once they discovered this star that is a lot small and colder than our sun, it allowed them to get a vision of the seven planets. The star is about 40 light years away. There are not 3 or four planets but there are 7 earth like planets.

The reading on terrestrial planets from chapter 6 provides readers with a little insight on the similarities and differences between the planets. These planets include Earth, Venus, Mercury, and Mars. Although these planets have very different properties, they are connected due to their history. There are scientific laws that help people understand, compare, and contrast these planets, such as gravity, chemical composition, and temperature.

on measurements of the planet's brightness. Like all planets, this new one presumably shines by

Before we left we had to be put asleep and in a glass and metal tube. When we woke up we could see earth it was so nice. Earth is said the only planet that could have life. It is the planet we live on today. It has water, solid ground, ozone to protect us people from the sun’s harmful rays, and trees so we can breathe. Earth is my favorite planet.

For countless centuries humans have looked up at the sky and have wondered what is out there? As a member of the Planet Hunter Team, I believe that we help answer these types of questions. One of the many questions that we have been asked is, what is a planet? This question was one of many driving forces that made Pluto a dwarf planet, as stated in “When is a Planet not a Planet?” by David H. Freedman. But once again this question has appeared, as a result of our most recent discovery.

In the beginning there was nothing except for the sun and giant Australian shepherds who ruled the land. These Australian shepherds lived in a palace, high above where the earth would once form, close to the sun. When new Australian shepherds were born they would often have parties to celebrate the new puppies. One day the emperor of the dogs and his wife had some new puppies, and the dogs threw the biggest party that the palace had ever seen, they were having so much fun that party shook the whole palace, and even the sun. Everything began to rumble and shake. So a part of the sun fell out of the sky hurdling and landing on Earth. This making a huge explosion. When this happened it created the rivers, mountains, rocks, and trees. The party

The faintly visible, blue-green, gas planet is called Uranus. Although only visited once, Astronomers have come a long way since ancient times with the research of this extraordinary planet. Most people only remember Uranus as "the sideways planet", but in reality, Uranus is unfathomably unique.

This planet is also blue because the methane in Uranus upper atmosphere takes in the red light from the Sun and then reflects the light absorbed back into space. This is why Uranus appears to be blue.

I believe the most interesting planet in our solar system, other than Earth, is Neptune. This is because Neptune is farther from the sun then most planets. To add to that, Neptune was discovered in 1846 by a French mathematician. This mathematician however did not discover Neptunes largest moon Triton. Plus, he wasn’t the only scientist involved in the discovery of Neptune. Discovering another planet beyond Uranus was thought to be improbable. But a collection of scientists noticed changes in the orbit of another planet, the planet slightly closer to our star than Neptune, Uranus. But before all of this happened, our old friend Galileo saw something with his small telescope. He saw what he thought could be a fixed star or something that could just be there effecting Uranus’ orbit.

For our next Flagship mission to space, I believe it should be different from the rest of our intergalactic journeys. We have sent rovers and satellites to Mars, satellites to other planets, but we really haven’t gone to far from the norm in today’s space journeys. If we really want to find life on other bodies in our solar system, we have to explore our options. We could explore Jupiter, Venus, Encleadus, or even some of Jupiter’s moons. But what are the main characteristics that are need to sustain life? Water is the most important in my opinion along with the opinion of many other scientists. So what bodies do we know that have the best probability of having water on them? Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons we believe has some sort of ocean

In Naturalistic Evolutionary view point, Earth was formed out of nothing 4.6 billion years ago, and went through several different periods of intense transition to arrive at what we now see. The first period of transition is known as the Precambrian in which “the most important events

1993). One thing that differs from Earth is that there is no water liquid on the Venusian surface.
