Definition of planet

However, will limiting our options to the recovery of earth and righting the wrongs done on this planet be beneficial in the face of the many possible catastrophic events, besides lack of resources and global warming, that can wipe out humanity and all life as it is known on earth, such as an epidemic or nuclear warfare? The answer is no, colonising…

Hypothesis, all the planets around the Sun should all be tilted the same way. This is false, because we have learned that the inner planets and outer planets have entirely different tilts.…

The story All Summer in a Day by Ray Bradbury, is about a group of nine year old kids on Venus who are waiting for the sun to come out after seven years of rain. They were all born on Venus and do not remember the sun because they were two years old when it last shone. One of the children, Margot, came to Venus when she was four and still remembers the sun from when she was on Earth, and her parents might be taking her back to Earth in a few years. When people have a deep loathing for others…

Most of them explored the Ocean and the ancient cities that found 150 miles under the Earth but every inch of the ocean had been scoured and the cities had nothing left to tell when I was born. The idea of aliens potentially taking me to another planet felt like my calling. I was lucky to get this job with so many other people applying due to everything on Earth being fully scanned. END TRANSMISSION… LOG 3: Well I’ve made it to Jupiter and all the preparations have been made for the jump and…

Welcome alien visitors to our solar system we have a variety of terrestrial planets that you can visit on your vacation! The solar system is home to a total of four terrestrial planets each of which are different. However currently we are not able to provide transportation. So you will have to choose from one of our fantastic options. Mercury- The first planet on our list is the closest to our Sun and it is 3*10^23 kg large. It is a total of 35 million miles from the Sun. Mercury has a large…

AST 1002 Horizons in Astronomy Unit Two Book Assignment 1. Astropedia 5.4: From the moon, the Earth would appear to have a full moon since it would all be illuminated. The first quarter is the highest point, which is at 6:00 PM. The full moon will rise at 6:00 PM and reaches it highest point at 12:00 AM, midnight. 2. Astropedia 5.6: During a new or a full moon, the gravitational pull that the moon has on the earth that causes the tides is a bit stronger. The gravitational pull is what…

Aaminah Azhar Astrobiology Spring 2015 Test 1 1. Name and describe five important steps in the formation of planets based on our current scientific understanding. a) Star and planet formation starts inside a collapsing cloud of gas and dust inside a bigger cloud called a nebula. Because of gravity pulling materials in the collapsing cloud closer together, the center of the cloud gets increasingly more compressed and because of this get hotter. The dense hot core of this collapsing cloud becomes…

beyond earth and into space. If earth were to be destroyed, the human race would continue to exist on another planet. Many scientists believe mars would be a suitable planet to begin colonizing (SpaceX). Mars has ice underneath its soil, which translates into water. Its land is solid, making it easy to establish buildings, and its distance from earth is the second shortest of any major planet. However, mars is completely uninhabitable. Its lack of atmosphere, as well as the temperature, gravity,…

Vulcan the mysterious planet said to have messed up most scientific findings. Vulcan was a planet made up to fill the gap in unequal Scientific findings. Urbain Le Vernier, a mathematician in 1840, was very interested in the Unusual Way, Mercury orbited the sun. He decided to look into it further, and using Isaac Newton’s theory of gravitation, he was able to calculate the orbit of mercury. He then compared his results to the actual real motion of mercury and they did not add up. Yet, he…
