Planet

Out of the eight celestial bodies in our solar system that we refer to as Planets, The planet that is 227,940,000 Km from the Sun and so happens to be red is by far the most interesting plant that isn't named earth. Its name? Mars. Initially, Mars was named after the Roman God of War Aries because it’s red color gave off the resemblance of blood. Mars also had different names throughout ancient history as well. The Chinese Astronomers Called it the “Fire Star” while the ancient egyptians referred

PLANETS Did You Know that Mercury, takes 59 days to make a rotation but only 88 days to circle the sun. Mercury is the planet closest to the sun However, very close since it is 36 million miles. Mercury the distance of planets from each other and from the sun are often measured in Astronomical units, AU. One AU is the average distance between the Earth and the sun, 93 million miles, or 150 million kilometer. Using this system of measurement, Mercury is 0:39 AU from the sun. Like all other planets

amount of variation between the Terrestrial planets. These planets differ in size, atmosphere, and temperature. The temperatures vary greatly in the Terrestrial planets. Average temperatures range from 900° F on Venus to -50° F on Mars, which happens to have the coldest temperatures out of all the Terrestrial planets. These colder temperatures are a result of differences in distance, atmosphere, and magnetic field. Mars is the farthest Terrestrial Planet from the sun, so it would make sense that it

Jupiter is the fifth planet from the sun and was discovered in ancient times and it is named after the king of the Roman Gods. Jupiter is best known for being the largest planet and it’s iconic red spot and stripe patterning. Jupiter has four main moons that orbit at different rates and patterns. Jupiter is a gas planet and can grow very cold. Jupiter is a gas giant meaning it does not0 have a solid internal core. It's atmosphere is primarily hydrogen and helium. Thick layers of red

life here will not always be able to exist. We must turn to science in order to find solutions to colonize other planets, no matter how difficult nor impossible it may seem. In the fifteenth century it was thought to be impossible to travel across an ocean. It was also once deemed impossible to travel out into space, and yet we have accomplished those tasks. Colonizing another planet is like the Europeans traveling

There are two groups that the planets can be categorized into, which are the Terrestrial Planet and the Jovian planets. There are 8 major plants revolving around the Sun. The names of the planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The planets revolve counterclockwise around the sun except for Venus and Uranus. The First four plants closest to the Sun are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars (Terrestrial planets). The last four planets farthest from the Sun are Jupiter

planet’s and how are they the same? The inner and outer planets have many differences, but also very many similarities. The inner planets are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. The outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The inner planets are made of rock, and are solid. These are called terrestrial and are closer to the sun. The outer planets are made of gas, and are not solid. They are much farther from the sun. The Inner Planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. Mercury is the

become a planet. While modern science has currently stripped Pluto of its title as one of the planets of our solar system it is my belief that one day it could reclaim its title. As a planet is currently defined it has to have cleared its orbit of obstructions which is the reasoning for why Pluto has as of now lost its title, it has yet to finish clearing its orbital path. However, over time it is entirely possible that it will and at that point in time it could once again be considered the planet it

The first planet the crew of Endurance visited was Miller’s planet, a water world orbiting Gargantua. The crew encountered a shallow water world with 1.2km high tidal waves. The massive tidal waves are because of its proximity to the black hole. The gravitational attraction is so strong that it causes huge tides that reach the sky. This effect is like the one we see on earth although more dramatic. The tides on earth are a result of the moon and earth's gravitational attraction. The question is are
