Final Examination
In our solar system we see many characteristics be brought out by the sun and the planets. Five of the main properties that will be discussed are geology, chemical composition of the interior and atmosphere, interior structure, orbital time.speed, and distance from the Sun, and comparative planetology.
Planetary geology is the study of the structure, composition, processes, and origin of major and minor planetary bodies in our solar system. The goal is to understand the origin of the features on planetary bodies. Most all large planetary bodies in our solar system have gone through at least some of the stages of accretion. This would include internal heating, differentiation, and surficial and tectonic evolution. Planetary geologists like to study smaller objects such as meteorites or comets because they possess some of the original unaltered material from the original nebular dust cloud. Geologists also study surface sample of bodies like mars and the moon. Craters and giant explosions are also a topic that is widely studied. The density of the planets and study of their features are also studied.
Chemical composition of the interior and atmosphere shows us what the planets are made up of on the inside and what their atmospheres consist of. The planets are split into two main groups: the Jovian and the Terrestrial planets. The Terrestrial planets consist of the four smaller and more dense planets closer to the sun. Those planets are Mercury, Venus,
Even though the inner and outer planets are very similar, they also have quite a few differences.Even though the inner and outer planets may have the same orbit plane and they both do not use their own light they are also different in size and their composition.
The Federalist Papers were written to argue for the ratification of the Constitution. This essay is regarding Federalist No. 10, written by James Madison. It is a continuation of the Federalist No. 9 and is titled "The Union as a Safeguard Against Domestic Faction and Insurrection." It was directed to the people of New York, and regarded the issue of people creating factions and their interests creating a conflict with other faction's interests and the interests of the whole community. This was a very big problem during that time.
The planets surrounding the star are Uranus and Jupiter. Jupiter, fifth planet from the Sun, is the God of all Gods, the skies, and thunder. It is represented by the God Zeus. The four main moons [known as the Galilean moons] of Jupiter are Ganymede, Callisto, Io, and Europa. Jupiter is what is known as a Gas Giant. The outside of the core is composed of liquid metallic hydrogen, and the atmosphere is mostly comprised of hydrogen and helium.
Macbeth, a play by william shakespeare shows how greed for power and wealth can lead to the destruction of oneself. The play's main character, Macbeth is not satisfied as a thane in scotland should be. The force of ambition leading him to assassinate king Duncan to become King of scotland, while unexpectedly destroying himself. Throughout the play many examples are shown of Macbeth’s irresistible thirst for power.
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?”
Terrestrial planets are planets composed mostly of silicate rocks, or metals. They are the inner planets closest to the Sun. The Terrestrial planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. The Jovian planets are planets that orbit far from the Sun, and they have no solid surface. Unlike Terrestrial planets, Jovian planets are composed of gases, like hydrogen and helium. They are also much larger than Terrestrial planets. The Jovian planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Lastly Dwarf planets are celestial bodies that are like planets. They are not classified as a planet because they lack the criteria to be a planet. Unlike other planets, who have a clear path of orbit around the Sun, Dwarf planets do not have a clear path. They deal with
The term planet is originated from the ancient Greek word planetes which translates to wanderer. This is a fitting characterisation as the planets in our Solar System and others “wander” or orbit around central point - a star. A planet is a celestial body which moves in an elliptical orbit around a star. Our Solar System which is located in the outer arms of the spiral galaxy, the Milky Way, has a unique and diverse composition. The Solar System consists of our star, the Sun, eight planets, and the dwarf planet, Pluto. The diverseness of our solar system is constituted to the planets and their structure. The planets are classified as either terrestrial or Jovian planets, however, these classifications do not apply to Pluto as it is neither. terrestrial planets are the four planets located closest to the Sun. The root cause for Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars to be categorized as terrestrial planets, is that they are all similar in composition. Due to the rest of the planets being Earth-like, they gained their name from the Latin word terra meaning land or Earth. The Jovian planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are the four planets furthest from the Sun. The three most outer planets are categorized as Jovian planets due to their Jupiter-like composition. In contrast to the terrestrial planets, the Jovian planets differ greatly in general structure, size and density due to their elemental composition.
One of these terrestrial planets, Mercury is the topic of the next section. Mercury, one of the smallest planets, has a surface similar to that of a moon because it is cratered with some smoother areas. However, it is distinct from the moon in that the plains are the same color as the cratered areas. Mercury
The article called “Moving Through the Solar System: Using Movement Activities to Learn about the Solar System” by Donna Shaw and Bonnie Nygard is about getting students engaged in their learning by adding movement to activities in the classroom. This article supports physical encoding which is "the learning process which uses the physical body to transfer information from the abstract or symbolic level to a more concrete level". The article describes 7 activities that teaches students about the solar system. Each activities involves some sort of movement and the steps/material to implement it in the classroom. 1st activity is a KWL chart where the students help fill out and at the end they talk about the key terms and create movements that go along with the definitions to help them remember. The next is a research team where students break up into groups and
What is a planet? While many people can point to a picture of Jupiter or Saturn and call it a "planet,"Planets change over time and can look different . Astronomers decided to have new definition in 2006 after the discovery of several worlds at the fringes of the solar system a decision that remains controversial. The term planet was from the Greek word for wonder. Ancient cultures adventured the stars. This is now called astronomy .But the study of earth is called geology . It was not until telescopes came out that we started to look at them in detail. There are nine planets all together. Telescopes also revealed the existence of objects not known to the ancients, because they are too far away and small to be spotted with the naked eye.
To answer the question “What is the chemical difference between a star and a planet?” A big difference between stars and planets is mass and size. Stars are massive balls of gas with pressure inside them that causes a nuclear reaction, which makes them bright and hot. A object would have to have 80 times the mass of Jupiter to have the nuclear reaction in its core. Making planet's not big enough to be a star. Although there is a huge difference in size and mass, many stars and planets are similar. Many planets are rocky and metallic like Earth and Mars, but some planets are mostly made up of gas, like a star. Both gas planets and stars are largely made up of hydrogen and helium.
The planets in our solar system all have their unique qualities. Jupiter has it’s spot, Saturn and Uranus have rings, Mercury is hot, Neptune is cold, Earth has a living environment, and Pluto is sometimes a planet and sometimes not. Have you ever thought that planets can be compared to people, more specifically, people that are different. Think of the stereotypical high school, you’ve got the popular kids, the potentially popular kids, the “wanna-be” popular kids, the bullies, the nerds and so on, so on. As much as I hate to say it, this is what our society is, and it will possibly never changed. With these stereotypes, certain types of people are set to do certain actions. They have set personalities and attributes. When you hear big planet,
Religions do not spread just because of one reason. In order for a religion to thrive, many factors must help it spread throughout the world. In Islam specifically there were a multitude of factors for the success. The main goal for the religion is not to spread, but rather to form political ruling over non-Muslim territory. The reason for this goal is to influence the citizens within that civilization to convert to Muslim. Muhammad, one of the Muslim prophets, helped expand Islam by spreading the beliefs. He did not see himself superior to anybody else; therefore it was easier for people to connect with him. He helped wealthier people understand their duty to help the poor, and made it clear that if one were to break any Muslim rules, the consequence was Hell. The main influences for citizens to become Muslim were because the religion embraced and catered to all people and the non-Muslims were required to pay taxes.
Humans live on a small planet in a tiny part of a vast universe. This part of the universe is called the solar system, and is dominated by a single brilliant star-the sun. The solar system is the earth’s neighbourhood and the planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are the Earth’s neighbours. They all have the same stars in the sky and orbit the same sun.
Mercury which is the planet that is closest to the sun is the first planet I will discuss. Mercury is the smallest of the inner
