Mercury Mountaineer

The name of our planet in Roman Mythology is the Roman god of commerce, travel, and thievery. Mercury is the closest planet to the sun, it rotates around the sun faster than any other planet in our solar system. It takes 1407.5 hours for it to rotate on its axis. Mercury is the smallest and innermost planet in our solar system. The radius of Mercury is 1,516 mi. Mercury’s mass is 3.285 times 10^23 kg. Mercury takes 88 days to rotate the sun completely. Mercury’s distance from the sun is 35.98 million

Neptune is the eighth and final planet from the sun. Discovered in 1846, it was a mystery to all, being that it is invisible to the naked eye. Neptune formed like a terrestrial planet with a solid core, but then it captured gases like hydrogen and helium when in the nebula of the original and early sun, making this planned a jovian planet. Neptune was discovered using mathematics, unlike all the other planets. The path of Uranus was not traveling like everyone though it should have been, from there

“All Summer In a Day” Essay “An author himself knows his landscape best; he can stand around, smell the wind, get a feel for his place.” - Tony Hillman.

1. Do the planets of Kepler 11 match the pattern of t2/t3? Support your answer. The planets of Kepler 11 do match the pattern of t2/t3 because the values for t2/t3 for the Kepler 11 planets are very similar to each other, as you can see that the extremes of t2/t3 within the planets, 3.0798*10-19 (Kepler-11e) and 3.1413*10-19 (Kepler-11b) are only different by .0624*10-19. These values are also very similar to the t2/t3 values for Earth and Mars as the difference between Earth’s and Kepler-11b’s

Galileo, Kepler and Newton altered classical interpretations of nature and challenged classical sources of knowledge in several different ways. Kepler published several different books and even came up with the three laws of planetary motion. The first law is the orbit of planets are ellipses with the sun at one focus. The second law is a line from the planets to the sun sweeps over equal areas in equal intervals of time. The third law states that the planets orbital period squared is proportional

1) Written: All summer in a day by Ray Bradbury (Short story in Discovering Fiction) This story is set on the planet Venus, where the sun shines for only two hours once every seven years. It opens on the day that the sun is due to make its appearance once again. Margot and the other children in her school on Venus are nine years old. Margot came from Earth to Venus five years ago.

Mysterium Cosmographicum Astronomiae Pars optica, and Astronomia nova. Johannes Kepler has been interesting to me because he is one inspiring person with his accomplishments. A saying that will help me remember Johannes Kepler “My stars were not Mercury rising in the seventh angel in quadrature with Mars, but Copernicus and Tycho Brahe. Without their observation books everything that I have brought into the clearest light would have remained in
