Speck God Compare And Contrast

Mercury, named after the Roman God of Thievery, Commerce, and Travel, is the first planet from the Sun. It is unique because it shows at both morning rise and evening set of the sun. It is rocky, heavily cratered, covered in boulders, and also pulverized dust. The majority of it's surface bears a strong resemblance to that of Earth's moon. It's lack of atmosphere causes wild temperature fluctuations. Temperatures can range from 90 kelvin to 700 kelvin thus creating a planet, from all observations, that cannot sustain life--it is geologically dead. Mercury also has a magnetic field generated by the planet's core that can deflect solar wind and which has a magnetosphere that changes. This was surprising for such a slow rotating planet--one that rotates completely every 88 Earth days.

Like men in other civilizations, ancient Greeks also looked into the night sky and saw those thousands of twinkling lights. They could see that most of the tiny lights are fixed relative to each other, but a few wonder (move) about. They called those wandering lights "Planets" (in Greek, planet means wanderer); the rest fixed tiny lights were called, “Stars”. With their naked eyes, they could see only five planets. The English names by which we now know these five planets; Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, were derived from the names of mythological Roman Gods. In Roman mythology; Mercurius, son of Jupiter, is the patron god of financial gain and supposed to move fast. Planet mercury was named after him. The name was appropriate

The planet venus is a planet of many wonders, while it might seem uninteresting Venus has many facts and information that can lead to a possibly better future. Venus is just one of the planets in our solar system where many interesting thing occur. This planet called Venus is very intensely filled with many phenomenons that are irregular and hard to explain.

The 7th planet from the sun, Uranus, is the coldest planet of the eight, at -216 degrees Celsius, a gas giant, and typically described as “rolling around the sun on it’s side”. This is because Uranus is tilted on its side at a 98 degree angle so it appears to be rotating around the sun, every 30,687 days, on it’s side. Uranus is one of the four gas giants in the solar system, and is made up of the same gases, helium and hydrogen. (9) However, Uranus’ equatorial diameter is 51,118 km, and is much smaller than Saturn and Jupiter. Uranus is observed easily using binoculars, and can be easily followed through the night sky. However, many scientists believe the best way to view Uranus is through a telescope, because of its fascinating bluish-turquoise

Discovered by William Herschel, Uranus was the first planet discovered during modern times. It was at first mistaken for a star but on March 13, 1781, Herschel discovered it with his telescope. At first, Uranus was named “the Georgium Sidus” but was changed in 1850 to Uranus because it was not from classical mythology like the other planetary names. Only one spacecraft has visited Uranus. According to “Space-Facts.com”, “On January 24, 1986, the Voyager 2 spacecraft swept past the planet at a distance of 81,500 km. It returned the first close-up images of the planet, its moons, and rings.” Voyager 2 also discovered 10 moons additionally to the 5 formerly known. As for adaptability, we will never be able to live on Uranus due to the temperatures, pressures, and materials that define this planet. They are too extreme and erratic for organisms to acclimate to. Like Jupiter and Saturn, Uranus also has a ring system. Because the particles vary in size from micrometers to a fraction of a meter, the rings are not

Since I briefly mentioned The Venus Factor in my most recent book, my readers and followers have been flooding my inbox and my Blog asking me to do a more detailed analysis about the Venus Factor…

The four gas giants are: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Jupiter is the fourth brightest object and rotates the slowest in the solar system. Only the Sun, Moon and Venus are brighter. It is one of five planets visible to the naked eye from Earth. Jupiter has the shortest day of all the planets. It turns on its axis once every 9 hours and 55 minutes. The rapid rotation flattens the planet slightly, giving it an oblate shape. Jupiter orbits the Sun once every 11.8 Earth years. From our point of view on Earth, it appears to move slowly in the sky, taking months to move from one constellation to another. Jupiter has unique cloud features. The upper atmosphere of Jupiter is divided into cloud belts and zones. They are made primarily of ammonia

Saturn is the outermost planet of the planets known in ancient times. The earliest known observations of Saturn, by the Babylonians, can be reliably dated to the mid-7th century BC, but it was probably noticed much earlier, since Saturn tends to shine brighter than most stars. To the naked eye it appears yellowish. The Greeks named it after Cronus, the original ruler of Olympus, who in Roman is the god Saturn.

Jupiter is the son of the Titans, Saturn and Opis. Jupiter and his brothers, Pluto and Neptune, rebelled against Saturn and the other Titans, vanquishing them and imprisoning some of them in Tartarus. Jupiter also had three sisters, Vesta, Juno and Ceres. He is the husband to his sister Juno, and father of Vulcan, Venus, Minerva, Apollo and Diana (Twins), Mercury, Bachus, Mars, and Proserpina.

Our solar system consists of 8 planets and three dwarf planets. Of those planets, only Earth has shown signs of life. Although Venus has the same mass, density, and size as Earth, it does not show those same signs of life. Instead, Venus’s drastically different atmosphere makes it unable to sustain life in the same manner as Earth. By delving into these differences, one can come to understanding of what makes life impossible, and how life would have to evolve in order to be able to sustain itself on the planet, Venus.

First, in the fame of Venus, one might see, Wrought on the wall, and piteous to behold, The broken slumbers and the sighting cold, The

Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and by far the largest mass object in the solar system of all the other planets. Jupiter is twice the size of all the other planets combined. It is as 318 times the sizes of earth. The distance that Jupiter orbits the sun is 778,330,000 km (Gallant pp154). The diameter is 142,984 km and the mass that it has is 1.900e27 kg. Jupiter is the fourth brightest object in the sky after the Sun, the Moon and Venus. Mars is some times brighter. Galileo discovered Jupiter in 1610(Gallant); another interesting fact is that Jupiter has 4 large moons. Which are known as the Galilean moons. They were named Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. The first mission that went to Jupiter was Pioneer 10 in 1973 and later

In ancient Roman religion, Mars (Greek: Ares) was the god of war and was an agricultural guardian. He was the second most important only to Jupiter and Neptune. Mars was the strongest military god of them all according to the religion of the Roman army. Mars was a part of the Archaic Triad with Jupiter and Quirinus. Mars used his military powers as a way to secure peace. Mars was a father Romulus and Remus and his wife was Rhea Silvia. Many people think Mars got its name because of its red color because Mars the god was sometimes called the red planet.

There are a total of eight known planets in our solar system which consist of four inner and four outer planets; the four inner planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, are known as the terrestrial planets because not only are they the closest to the sun, but they are also "Earth-like," meaning that they are similar to Earth's composition and structure ("What is a Terrestrial Planet?"). While these three planets bare close similarities, the planet that closely resembles Earth is Venus. Known as the "Sister Planets," or the "Twins," Earth and Venus are said to share close similarities in relation to their “size, mass, density, composition, and distance from the sun” ("Venus Compared to Earth" and "Venus Information and Facts"). However, as Matt Williams (2016) suggests, while these two planets may have been “very similar early in their existence,” just as with most siblings, as time progressed, they began to change-essentially transforming into two distinct, individual planets, with very little in common.

Venus is the second-brightest celestial body after the moon. Orbita alrededor de la tierra en mas o menos 243 dias terretes pero contrario a la tierra su rotación es inversa. Esto es, si la tierra rota a su izquierda, venus rota a su derecha. Algunas veces, es llamado “earth’s sister planet” debido a similitud en size, mass, bulk composition and proximity to the Sun. Sin embargo, difieren en que venus tiene una atmosphera mas densa que la tierra donde el carbón dioxide es de 96%., y con un atm de 92 veces mas que en la tierra.
