Jupiter is the biggest planet in our solar system, it also the fifth planet that count from the Sun. There are many interesting facts about Jupiter’s atmosphere. Jupiter has the largest planetary atmosphere in the Solar system. The composition of the atmosphere is mainly molecular hydrogen and helium. Although water exists deep in the atmosphere layer, the concentration is comparatively very small. (Mahaffy et al., 1998) Until now, there have been no satellites sent on to the Jupiter. Only eight

Gustav Holst was a British composer born in Cheltenham in 1874. “The Planets” nearly took Gustav two years to compose because he had other jobs on the side, like teaching, which he did almost his entire life. He believed that “The Planets” wasn’t his best works, though it was an immediate success. Along with the success of “The Planets” his work load and his stress levels also rose. In 1924 he was ordered to take a break, by his doctor, in the country where he could compose his music without any

various characteristics, this icy dwarf planet, and other dwarf planets are not considered regular planets, such as Earth. These reasons also make other dwarf planets, like Eris, Haumea, Ceres, and Makemake, outliers, when compared to the general eight planets. Astronomers predict that there are possibly hundreds of dwarf planets that surpass the Kuiper Belt, just waiting to be discovered. There are three rules, making a planet, a planet. These include, the planet is round, it orbits around the sun

Mars. The Red Planet. What would it take to survive here? The temperature is a big problem. While Earth has an average temperature of 61 degrees Fahrenheit, Mars is quite the opposite with an average temperature of -67 degrees Fahrenheit. We would need heaters everywhere. Radiation poses another threat. Mars has a weak magnetic field that does not keep out much radiation like Earths does. That means we would need radiation proof buildings. Water would not be a problem. Under the dry layer of soil

considered a planet. Its size and unusual orbit are two factors that make it part of the dwarf family. Some argue, why make Pluto into a dwarf planet when everyone knows it as a planet. Scientists found many dwarf planets after Pluto. They were not going keep adding them to the solar system. Eris was discovered after Pluto and later on Makemake, Ceres and more. Pluto's size and condensation fits much better with the dwarf planets. Pluto’s orbit is very different from the other planets in the

Mars has an environment conditionally harsh for living organisms to live on, but studies shows that Mars is a habitable planet. According to NASA, Mars had oceans billion of years ago like Earth. Uniquely, this is an indication that the Red Planet is similar to Earth’s conditions making it possible to colonize. Researchers states that the Martian soil enclosed of nutrients such as phosphorus, potassium, and nitrogen. The soil has the nutrients for plants to grow and survive. Not to mention, plants

In elementary school, I only learned about eight planets with the famous saying of, ‘My Very Excited Mother Just Served Us Nachos.’ So, I was never taught to think Pluto was a planet. I saw that it wasn’t planet on the internet and just went to with the concept. However, I wonder now, why can’t Pluto be a planet? Caltech planetary scientist Mike Brown can explain why Pluto is no longer considered a planet. I believe that Pluto isn’t a plant since it doesn’t rotate around the sun in a perfect orbit

Moons of the Terrestrial Planets 2.2. Moons of Mars 2.2.1 Introduction Mars orbits at a distance of 1.52 AU from the Sun. Mars has two natural satellites, discovered by Asaph Hall in 1877. The innermost of these, Phobos, is about 22.2 km in diameter (27.0×21.6× 18.8) and orbits the planet with a period far less than Mars 's period of rotation 7.7 hr. (only one quarter that of Deimos), causing it to rise in the west and set in the east(Born & Duxbury 1975). Thus, it makes more than 3 orbits in a

Hannah Newman 2nd draft 5th period 9-16-16 My article is about is about a planet that maybe like earth. The planet is near proxima centauri, which is the closest star to our sun and it is known as the dwarf star. They call it Proxima b, because it is near Proxima Centauri. Proxima b lies just 4.2 light years away. They say that if Proxima b has water and isn’t to hot or cold then it will be livable. So if there is water to drink and we won’t cook or freeze then it will be livable like earth. They

is a planet scientists like to call Planet 9. Planet 9 was discovered by two Caltech researchers by the names of Mike Brown and Konstantin Batygin. They discovered it January 20, 2016 by using computer simulations and mathematical equations. Scientist believe that our sun ripped planet 9 from its previous orbit an eternity ago, but no one knows for sure. No has seen planet 9 either
