Orbit of the Moon

as The Space Race. The Space Race was a competition during the Cold War to see who can get to the moon first. In 1961 John F. Kennedy challenged the nation to make it to the moon by the end of the decade, which thus started the space race. The United States beat Russia in the space race. The Russian space program got off to a good start in 1957 when they launched the first satellite into Earth’s orbit. Sputnik I was launched from a Soviet R-7 intercontinental ballistic missile. The United States responded

Union. This competition was held between 1955 until 1972 and enabled these two rivals to advance their ability of spaceflight and their exploration out of the Earth’s reach. The competition covered several ways in taking human life out of Earth’s orbit and to successfully bring them back home in the process. The Space Race brought about several controversial topics relating to how the USSR copied the methods conducted by the United States, how the United States retaliated against the USSR and the

competition in the exploration of space between the capitalist United States and the communist Soviet Union from 1957 to 1975 was known as the Cold War Space Race (Linda Alchin). From rocket technology to artificial satellites to people landing in the moon, the space race was important in showing how both countries competed to have the best technology in space and achieve to be the ‘first’. The space race began with the Soviet Union launch of Sputnik satellite on October 4, 1957 and ended with the Apollo-Soyuz

and what makes them occur. Muggle astronomy stops at that definition. But for the purposes of magic, astronomy allows us to better understand and predict events in the universe that might play a role in various magical disciplines. The phase of the moon or the alignment of the planets and stars, for example, can have a significant effect on a spell or potion that a wizard or witch might perform or concoct. Mercury is the smallest planet in the solar system, and the closest to the Sun. Venus is very

reformed into the Moon that we are so familiar with. It is worth addressing how this theory lines up with the co-formation theory and the capture theory. In regards to the co-formation theory, it can be seen to hold the similarity that in both cases the Earth was young and molten.

cleared the neighbourhood of its orbit of all other celestial objects. It was named after the Roman god of the Underworld, and has 5 moons. The largest, Chiron, is sometimes considered to be a twin planet to Pluto, since they are so similar in size and Chiron always faces Pluto the same way, much like our Moon does the Earth. The other moons, Nix, Hydra, Styx, and Kerberos, orbit at a greater distance, and are considered true moons. Pluto also has an elliptical orbit, and sometimes passes in front

the Sun and the moon revolves around the Earth. The moon is Earth’s only natural satellite. If you didn’t know a satellite is a celestial body that orbits the Earth or other planets. Other than that, there is more about the moon. First off, the moon radius is around 1,079 miles. Secondly, the moon’s gravity is about 1/6ths of Earth’s gravity. Also, the moon has a thin atmosphere, which makes it unsuitable for humans to breathe. Other than Moon’s features, there is more about the moon. First, there

Neptune. The orbits of the planets are ellipses with the Sun at one focus. To start off, our Sun is the most important part of our solar system. It is the biggest object and does have about 98% of the whole mass of the solar system. About 1.3 billion earths would fit inside the sun. The sun travels around the galaxy together with planets and other objects bound to it by gravitational forces. The largest of the bodies we call planets, most of which are in turn are orbited by smaller moons or satellites

Neptune is 17 times as massive as Earth and has 15 times its surface area. How long does it take to orbit the Sun It takes Neptune 164.79 Earth years to orbit the Sun. What is its gravity like? The gravity force is 119 % of the gravity force on Earth. A 100 pound Earthling would weigh about 119 pounds on Neptune. How far is it from the sun? From the Earth? Neptune is located

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 mercury orbits round the sun, but it orbit of the sun lasts for 88 days. The Earth orbit lasts for days and pluto orbit takes 249 years. Venus, is the brightest planet in our sky and can sometimes be seen with the naked eye if you now where
