Planet

Neptune is the eighth and farthest planet from the Sun in the Solar System. It is the fourth-largest planet by diameter and the third-largest by mass. Neptune is 17 times the mass of Earth and is somewhat more massive than its near-twin Uranus, which is 15 times the mass of Earth but not as dense.[12] On average, Neptune orbits the Sun at a distance of 30.1 AU, approximately 30 times the Earth–Sun distance. Named for the Roman god of the sea, its astronomical symbol is ♆, a stylised version of the

extremely chaotic and hellish planet. Even though it is called earth’s twin because of how alike their size, mass, and density are so much alike, they have nothing else in common. Venus is the third brightest star in the sky, which has something to do with its name. It has one of the most unique orbital characteristics in our solar system. There are phenomenons in its atmosphere that happen nowhere else in our solar system. Venus also has a rich history of exploration. The planet Venus is one of the brightest

a so called chain of being, that stretches from the creator into all that exists. There is a connection between even the largest objects fathomable in the universe, all the way down to the smallest particle on our own planet. Likewise, our soul, thoughts, the angels and the planets, our instincts, and our very human nature are inseparable from this cosmic order of being. We are eternally united with our creator, the universe, and to all beings in it. (Tillyard, 25-27) The universe was intended to

Mars, The "Red Planet" Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun. Mars is also the second-smallest planet in the Solar System. Mars was named after the Roman God of War. This planet is sometimes referred to as the "Red Planet." The shade of Mars is red, because of all the iron oxide present on its surface. Mars is a terrestrial planet. This means it is a planet that is mainly created out of silicate rocks or metals. The terrestrial planets in our Solar System, along with Mars, are the inner

a rare chance to take unique photographs of the planet and study its atmosphere as well as how the sun’s solar radiation affects it. This is the planet’s time to shine to show us brand new information. Venus was backlit so extraordinarily well by Sol that pictures could be taken of it with a clarity unrivaled by any before. These new pictures will help researchers and scientists study the planet, its atmosphere, and how various elements of the planet react and change to the sunlight. It’s Time to

1. What are the terrestrial planets? The terrestrial planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. These planets are composed primarily of silicate rocks with structures consisting of a central metallic core, mostly iron, with a surrounding silicate mantle. 2. How were Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune formed? Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune were formed by different types of rock and frozen materials (water, ammonia, and methane). These materials were once planetesmals, which formed from

of the planets in Star Wars are similar to planets that scientists have found in the milky way galaxy like Hoth super Earth in deep freeze. Also think that distant world with double sunsets can't help but think of Tatooine. Well both of these planets exist even Kamino grey water­world with its own superocean exist. How about the lava planet Mustafar yes it exists but there will not be any lightsaber duels here. The planet's temperature gets up to 3,600 degrees fahrenheit. All these planets have different

Each planet is greatly different to each other in many different ways. There are planets with almost no atmospheres, like Mercury, to those with a large atmosphere, like Jupiter. There are moons with more volcanic action, Io, then there are on some planets, Mars. There are even more differences between all of the celestial body's in the sky. The key thing is, how do we this? When it comes to finding the atmosphere of a planet we can use a form of emission line testing if we are in space, to get an

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. Until the late 1700's, Uranus was often mistaken as just another ordinary star. Even though Uranus had been seen quite often by ancient astronomers through telescopes, it was not yet classified as a planet. Uranus was then

Terrestrial Planets Mercury  This planet consists of differentiated layers containing different levels of density. 1. Large metallic core, contains the highest level of this planets density. 2. A less dense rocky mantle 3. Surrounding the planet is an even less dense crust  Clear almost vacant atmosphere, which makes this planet easier to view, but unable to disburse heat or cold. Making it difficult to control the exceptionally
