“The Nine Planets of the Solar System”, which is an article posted on the NASA website, portrays Earth as a planet that is caring yet still mortal. Interestingly enough, Earth has many characteristics that can be analyzed and compared to human emotions. In the article, NASA states, many characteristics, and those being: moderate temperature, a hot core, an atmospheric field that burns projectiles before hitting Earth 's surface, a moon, and multiple natural activities which damages the Earth 's internal

Space. Countless stars, galaxies, and planets drift off into the vast area known as the Universe. Each tiny speck of light out in the distance could be a galaxy, or maybe even planets. Truly, the Universe is huge, holding every wonder in existence. In this Universe, though, was a little gathering of planets, known as the Solar System. In the Solar System, were two planets. One was a very big one, one bigger than the sun. It was a very beautiful golden yellow planet, who shined brighter than the sun

Sarah O’Hara Planet Properties In this report, I will explaining the properties of objects in our solar system and how they are grouped. Before this investigation, I had barely any knowledge about the properties of planets and objects in our solar system, but I learned valuable information through research from different websites, and discussions within my group and my entire class. My report will answer the question, “How can we group objects in the Solar System according to their properties

Saul Reyes PLSC 21 May 9, 2018 Is Pluto a Planet? In 1929 Tombaugh used the calculations of Powell and W.H. Pickering as a guide to search for the planet Pluto. On February 18, 1930, Tombaugh discovered the tiny, distant planet which we call Pluto by using a new astronomic technique of photographic plates combined with a blink microscope. With the help of other astronomers he was able to confirm that he had discovered the planet and later went on to publicly announce that he had made the discovery

Jupiter The largest planet in the solar system, with a equatorial distance of approximately 143,00km. it is so large that it can fit all the other planets in the solar system inside of it, or it could fit over 1,300 Earths inside it. It is the fifth planet from the sun, with an average distance from the sun at 5.2 astronomical units (AU). Like the Sun, Jupiter’s atmosphere is mainly made up of hydrogen and helium gases. Jupiter is blanketed in thick red, brown, yellow and white clouds. These clouds

Pluto be a planet? Should there be eight or nine planets in the solar system? Some. people agree that Pluto should become a planet, but researchers and scientists know better. An example of this is that Pluto only two of the three rules to be classified as a planet. Scientists including International Astronomical Union’s president and astronomer Mike Brown have gladly accepted this idea and even have evidence to support it. Third, people already have a hard time learning all the planets in our solar

It was the year 3956. Thousands of people lived happily trapped on the planet KF-15. It was a society where you could do everything from the palm of your hand. You could move whatever you wanted with just thinking about it. You could create every object just by mentioning its elements. The society of the planet KF-15 lived comfortably without seeing what was really happening on the planet. Every day the planet came a little closer to the star mother "Gobata" which in addition, was the star that gave

The Planet Venus is named after the Roman Goddess of Love and Beauty. It is the second planet from the sun. Very similar in size and mass as the Earth. Some distinctive features of Venus are its rotation, Its brightness and its hot temperatures, Venus rotates in the opposite direction of the other planets. Astronomers believe that this was caused by a collision with and object such as an asteroid. It takes Venus 225 days to orbit around the sun once. The brightness of Venus is greater than all

Pluto used to be a planet but then scientists said that it failed the planet test to see if it was a planet or a dwarf planet? Well I believe that Pluto should be a planet for a number of reasons. One it has three moons two it orbits the sun and three it is in our solar system. In this writing I will be telling you why I think Pluto should be named as a planet again. Reason one is that Pluto has THREE moons and we have only seen moons orbiting planets. If Pluto isn't a planet then how does it

An old theory of Planet X, the distant, possibly alien environment on the far reaches of our solar system, has come back to life. Some believe that it redirected rogue asteroids and comets hurtling into the inner solar system. One of which may have hit Earth causing the extinction of dinosaurs. Are humans at risk for this happening again? ALIEN PLANET X MAY HAVE KILLED THE DINOSAURS It seems like something out of a low-budget, alien sci-fi movie, but there is actually some scientific data to back
