Task 1
Our Cosmic Address
Earth – A planet which contains all of the human race and is the only known planet with life on so far. Usually accompanied by the moon with an earth-moon system. It is the 3rd planet from the sun which makes the temperature right for us.

The Solar System – Contains all planets which are within our solar system, hundreds of thousands of asteroids and uncountable smaller bits. Our solar system contains mercury, Venus, earth, mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. We have only explored minimal amounts of mars using rovers.

The sun is an incredible 2 million degrees Celsius and can reach 15 million in the core. The Sun has a very strong magnetic field. Solar flares occur when magnetic energy is released by the Sun during magnetic storms, which we see as sunspots. In sunspots, the magnetic lines are twisted and they spin, much like a tornado would on Earth. (sun facts, 2012)
How the sun began
Gravity drew dust and gas together to create the solar system. The sun formed first from the material closely by the planets. Waves of energy traveling through space pressed clouds of such particles closer together, and gravity causes them to collapse in on themselves. As the material drew together, gravity caused it to spin. The spin caused the cloud to flatten into a disk like a pancake. In the centre, the material clumped together to form a protostar that would eventually become the sun. The protostar was a ball of hydrogen and helium not yet powered by fusion. Over the course of 50 million years, the temperature and pressure of the material inside increased, jumpstarting the fusion of hydrogen that drives the sun today. (Credit, 2016)
The suns fusion and the atmosphere
The sun is made of 72% hydrogen, 26% helium and traces of oxygen, carbon, neon, nitrogen, magnesium, iron and silicon. The high amounts of
The sun is a big, hot ball of hydrogen gas which enables us to feel the sun’s heat and see its brightness. Every second of every day, the sun transforms over 700 million tons of hydrogen into over 600 million tons of helium. The sun produces so much energy that we can see the sun’s brightness and feel its heat. Hydrogen fusion takes place in the Sun’s core and the gas is heated by the energy that is discharged above the core. Ultimately the gas becomes less dense and the heat from below turns the gas
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.
Earth is said to be the feminine element. It is perceived to be nurturing, stable, and full of endurance. The planet itself is a ball of life in which one is
Made up of all the planets that orbit the sun, the Solar System has over 100 worlds. In addition to eight planets without Pluto and nine with Pluto, the Solar System also consist of gas, dust, minor planets,asteroids, and moons. Containing 98% of all the materials in the Solar System, the sun is an extremely important object in the Solar System. Everything in the Solar System orbits or revolves around the sun. The larger an object is in space the more gravity it has and that why the enormous sun contains 98% of all the materials in the Solar System. The Solar System basically is just the planets moving rapidly and trying to fly away from the sun. They end up in in the emptiness of outer space. The outcome of the planets trying to fly away and
1. The earth’s sun is a star, it generates heat and light through nuclear fusion.
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.
By Ayesha Hameed Science Period 5 Where did all of the elements on Earth come from? A commonly asked question to scientists around the world is where did all of the elements on earth come from? After extensive research scientists have come to conclude that all elements originate from the stars. The purpose of this essay is to develop an understanding of the life cycle of stars and how all known elements on earth come from them. Time and space were created by the big bang theory.
Earth- Earth is the third planet from the sun and the one we inhabit. It has one moon, one completes one cycle around the Sun in 365 days.
The earth is so far the known planet to sustain life. Starting as small dense group, humans have populated the earth to where they the most populated species on earth. When humans first populated the earth, they did not live long lives. Disease, animals, and natural disasters made life on earth a nightmare. As humans
“The sun is the heart of our solar system” (NASA Solar System Exploration) which is located at the center of the solar system. The sun has a radius of 432,168.6 miles. You would need 1.3 million Earths to fill up the sun. But the sun is not the largest star there are several that are much larger. The sun is the closest star to Earth which is around 93 million miles. The sun is like a big ball of gas. “In terms of the number of atoms, it is made of 91.0% hydrogen and 8.9% helium.” (NASA Solar System Exploration). But if you measure by mass the sun is made up of “70.6% hydrogen and 27.4% helium.” (NASA Solar System Exploration). Gravitational attraction which is made by pressure and temperature in the core holds together the sun. There is three main layers in the sun which are the core, the radiative zone, and the convective zone. Inside the core temperatures can reach 27 million degrees Fahrenheit
The life cycle of the Sun starts like all stars with a cloud of dust and gas made up of mostly hydrogen. If the cloud cools, it will shrink because of the gravitational pull between the particles
Humans live on a small planet in a tiny part of a vast universe. This part of the universe is called the solar system, and is dominated by a single brilliant star-the sun. The solar system is the earth’s neighbourhood and the planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are the Earth’s neighbours. They all have the same stars in the sky and orbit the same sun.
Indecent bodies like the sun. Stars are made up of big exploding balls of gas, mostly hydrogen and helium. The sun is similarly a star made up of huge amounts of hydrogen, undergoing a continuous nuclear reaction like a hydrogen bomb. Stars come about when vast clouds of hydrogen, helium and dust contract and collapse due to gravity. The clouds came from astronomical plasma from “The Big Bang”, but the dust comes from the supernovae of other stars.
Have you ever heard of a solar flare? A solar flare exists after a sunspot has existed for a long time and the magnetic lines of force usually become jumbled. As a result of this jumbling, magnetic energy is stored in the Corona (region of atmosphere above the chromosphere). The energy may be released in a spectacular discharge, which is a solar flare. A solar flare can be as wide as 367,000 miles and as high 500,000 miles out into space. A solar flare is nothing more than helium erupting from the sun like a volcano.
solar system. It is made up of nine planets which range in size and make-up. The nine major planets in our solar system are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. There are also many other minor planets which are also in
