Planet Nine
Since Pluto was subjected to reclassification in the year 2006, our planetary family has possessed
eight official members although there is tantalizing new evidence that gives the suggestion that a
ninth world, ten times the mass of the Earth, might linger at the extreme, cold edges of the solar
system.
Astronomers Mike Brown and Konstantin Batygin, of the California Institute of Technology, think
they've found evidence of this long–sought Planet X in the odd, slanted orbits of several chunks of
rock and ice in the Kuiper belt, and it is this new world that is referred to by the duo as Planet Nine
and informally as "Phattie," reports Alexandra Witze for Nature.

Though it has been discovered that these particulars wobbling behaviors were to be inaccurate

While it is not possible to for this latest report to be considered infallible, it is the strongest yet claim
for Planet X, writes Eric Hand for Science.
Based on calculations made by the aforementioned two scientists, without a ninth planet, there is
only a 0.007% chance, or one in 15,000, that the way the six Kuiper belt objects cluster could be
found coincidental, Hand reports. Despite this conditional context, Planet Nine itself has not been
detected–just the intriguing orbits because there would be too much distance between this planet and

Mars Red Planet
Mars, The "Red Planet" Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun. Mars is also the second–smallest
planet in the Solar System. Mars was named after the Roman God of War. This planet is sometimes
referred to as the "Red Planet." The shade of Mars is red, because of all the iron oxide present on its
surface. Mars is a terrestrial planet. This means it is a planet that is mainly created out of silicate
rocks or metals. The terrestrial planets in our Solar System, along with Mars, are the inner planets
closer to the sun. They include; Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. The "Red Planet" has a mixture of

Planet Comparison Essay
Each planet is greatly different to each other in many different ways. There are planets with almost
no atmospheres, like Mercury, to those with a large atmosphere, like Jupiter. There are moons with
more volcanic action, Io, then there are on some planets, Mars. There are even more differences
between all of the celestial body's in the sky. The key thing is, how do we this? When it comes to
finding the atmosphere of a planet we can use a form of emission line testing if we are in space, to
get an idea of what it is comprised off. This testing uses the idea that if we focus on the planet from
the distance of space, we can observe a rough idea of the atmosphere on that planet. When that does
not work we could always send a probe on the planet ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
This meant that the planet had a sulfur rich atmosphere. Some geological activity can be found just
by watching. This means we can see the volcanoes on Io erupting or the change in formation on a
mountain in mars can happen with Erosion. Although not as accurate as being there and watching it
unfold it is still accurate to a degree. When it comes to measuring the composition of a planet we
can see how the seismic waves of a planet affect the other side of the planet. By studying how the
core develops and changes the seismic actives from one side to another we have been able to find
the Iron core the Earth has. Most other terrestrial planets have a similar core structure but what
about Jovian Planets? These are thought to have a liquid metallic hydrogen cores. These cores are
similar to Iron ones in the development of the magnetic fields it is created. The reason these planets
has a liquid hydrogen core is because of how far they are away from the sun. The distance is enough
where gases can be liquids or solids so it would make sense that these gas giants have gas cores.

Venus : The Planet Venus
The Planet Venus is named after the Roman Goddess of Love and Beauty. It is the second planet
from the sun. Very similar in size and mass as the Earth. Some distinctive features of Venus are its
rotation, Its brightness and its hot temperatures, Venus rotates in the opposite direction of the other
planets. Astronomers believe that this was caused by a collision with and object such as an asteroid.
It takes Venus 225 days to orbit around the sun once. The brightness of Venus is greater than all the
other planets. Only the moon is brighter. Venus can be seen during the day on a clear day. During
early civilization Greeks thought that Venus was two different objects. When the orbit around the
sun passes the earth's orbit Venus' visibility changes from being visible after sunset to being visible
before sunrise. With a temperature of 462 C, Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system. Due to
its rotation and the fact that it has no tilt, Venus has no seasons. The temperature is always hot.
Venus' similarities with the planet earth make scientists believe that they also have the same type of
structure, with an interior core, mantle and crust. The structure of Venus was shaped by volcanic
activity. The surface is about 300 to 600 million years old. In 1970 the European space Agency
performed missions on Venus that gave indication of volcanic activities in Venus. They have
indicated that since there is no rainfall in Venus the volcanic eruptions are cause of the lightning.

Is The Planet Venus, The Most Brightest Star In The Planet?
Venus is an extremely chaotic and hellish planet. Even though it is called earth's twin because of
how alike their size, mass, and density are so much alike, they have nothing else in common. Venus
is the third brightest star in the sky, which has something to do with its name. It has one of the most
unique orbital characteristics in our solar system. There are phenomenons in its atmosphere that
happen nowhere else in our solar system. Venus also has a rich history of exploration.
The planet Venus is one of the brightest objects in our solar system, and is named after the roman
goddess of love and beauty. The planet "may have been named for the most beautiful deity of her
pantheon because it shone the brightest of the five planets known to ancient astronomers" (Choi, C
2017). Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system, even though it is not the closest planet to the
sun. Temperatures on the planet can get up to 870 degrees Fahrenheit, which is hot enough to melt
lead. Venus is often called earth's twin because its "size, mass, and density are so much like Earth's",
but that's where the similarities end (Wyzant 2017). The planet's atmosphere consists of carbon
dioxide and sulfuric acid, and scientist have found trace amounts of water in the atmosphere since
the surface is too hot for water to be in a liquid or solid state. Roughly ⅔ of the surface of Venus is
flat, with many volcanoes that emit a blue lava from the high amounts of sulfuric acid on the planet.

Uranus, The Planet Of Planet
Uranus is the seventh planet from the sun, right behind Saturn, and in front of Neptune. Uranus is
considered a Jovian planet alongside with Jupiter, Saturn & Neptune. In 1781, a British astronomer
named William Hershel discovered the planet of Uranus. Hershel discovered the planet through his
6–inch telescope and thought it moved relative to the star, but noticed it traveled rather slow to be a
star of some sort. Hershel originally wanted to name the planet Georgium Sidus, which is Latin for
"George's Star". Astronomer Johann Bode suggested to Hershel that he shall name the planet
"Uranus" which is the father of Saturn, in that way using the names from ancient mythology is
continued on. It's not easy to see Uranus from Earth; you need to have specific equipment to
observe it closely. Even through a telescope, Uranus looks like a tiny, bluish, greenish disk. Uranus'
distance from the sun is approximately 2.9 billion km, which is about 1.8 billion miles. It has one of
the lowest densities of about, on average, 710(kg/m3). As you may already know, there is never a
definite explanation on how the planets we see today were formed. There are a couple of theories
that explain how it may have come about. 2 theories that are known about are Core accretion and
the disk instability method. The core accretion explains the terrestrial planets better rather than giant

Leverrier of France, used math to figure out that the gravity from another planet beyond Uranus was
affecting the orbit of Uranus. They figured out not only where the planet was, but also how much
mass it had. A young astronomer, Johann Gottfried Galle, decided to search for the predicted planet

The Planet By Gustav Holst
Gustav Holst: The Planets, Op. 32
Performed by Royal Philharmonic Orchestra Conducted by Andrè Previn Gustav Holst (1874–1934)
was an English composer well known for his orchestral suite The Planets. Holst began his trip into
the musical world as a young pianist. His father, Adolph Holst, was a skilled pianist who wanted
Gustav to succeed at playing as he did. Gustav, however, was impaired by neuritis making it
difficult to play for long hours. As Gustav aged he began trying to compose music instead. Gustav
failed to gain scholarships to any colleges and his father, after hearing one of Gustav's small town
operettas, borrowed money to pay for his college. Gustav's influences were pieces such as Wagner's
Götterdämmerung and Tristan and ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Holst borrowed ideas from composers such as Scheonberg, Stravinsky, and Debussy. The Planets
became Holst's most well renowned composition. Nevertheless, Holst despised the popularity the
composition gained. He swore off astrology (until he read friends horoscopes in later life) and
refused to sign autographs. His later music disappointed the public. The Planets was composed from
1914–1916. It was the time of the World War I. Adrian Boult did not conduct it until 1918 in a
private concert for Henry Balfour Gardiner, who helped Holst earlier on with his composing career.
It was not until 1920 that Albert Coates performed it in its entirety to Queen's Hall. It is an
orchestral piece arranged into seven movements. Each movement dedicates itself to the planets
known at the time besides Earth. "Holst considered each movement a progression of life." (Taylor)
The first movement is "Mars, the Bringer of War." It begins moderately quiet with mainly
percussion and strings attacking the ostinato in a march like 5/4 meter. Brass begins to crescendo its
way in before the terraced dynamics of the upper woodwinds begin. It is a moderately fast piece.
The main goal of the piece is to create a war–like sound. The beginning creates a sound that feels
like troops are gathering and it continues until both sides attack, recuperate, and attack again with
full force (during the coda). The tenor tuba carries the melody while the march–like rhythm keeps

Jupiter: The Biggest Planet
Review of Literature
I. Introduction– History of Jupiter Jupiter is the most massive planet in our solar system. The planet
was named after the kings of gods in Roman mythology. In a related way, the ancient Greeks named
it after Zeus, the king of the Greek pantheon. Jupiter has helped transform the way we saw the
universe in 1610 when Galileo discovered Jupiter's four largest moons. This project will describe
Jupiter's characteristics. Some of these characteristics include size, Great Red Spot, colorful bands,
magnetic field, distance from the sun and Earth, and its orbit and rotation. It will also explain the
composition and structure of Jupiter. The last thing this project will describe is the planet's four
largest moons. Thus, this project will give an in depth explanation of the planet Jupiter.
II. Jupiter's Characteristics As mentioned earlier Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system. It is
more than twice the size of all the other planets combined. A way to show its colossal size is that it
could hold 1,300 Earths. In fact if Jupiter was 80 times larger it would have been a star. Jupiter's
diameter is greater than 88,700 miles (143,000 kilometers). This is enormous compared to Earth
which nearly has a diameter of 8,000 miles (13,000 kilometers). Its radius is 43,441 miles (69,911
kilometers). Jupiter has a mass of 1.898E27 kilograms which is equivalent to 317.83 in Earth mass.

This gives Pluto the appearance that it is tipped on its side, which, in essence, it virtually is. Pluto's
rotation also has notable qualities. Pluto's rotation period is 6.387 days, the same as its
satellite/moon Charon. Although it is common for a moon to travel in a synchronous orbit with its
planet, Pluto is the only planet to rotate synchronously with the orbit of its satellite. Thus being
tidally locked, Pluto and Charon continuously face each other as they travel through space. From
1985 to 1990, the Earth lined up with Pluto and Charon to cause and eclipse every Pluto day. This
occurrence allowed astronomers to gather a multitude of valuable information about Pluto and its
moon. The eclipses lasted as much as four hours and by carefully timing their beginning and ending,
measurements for their diameters were taken. Photograph's later taken by the Hubble telescope
confirms Pluto's diameter of 1413 miles, and Charon's, at nearly half the size, 728 miles across
within one percent accuracy.
Astronomers where also able to determine the density of Pluto during the daily eclipses. By
discovering the density to be approximately two grams per cubic centimeter, astronomers where

Some might wonder what the difference between a dwarf planet and a regular planet is. There is
basically only one difference between the two. That one key difference is that a dwarf planet has not
cleared the neighborhood around its orbit. What that means is that it is not gravitationally dominant
and that it is sharing orbital space with other bodies of the similar size. It is a very controversial
subject as they still try to change the definition.
So, these are the three criteria of the IAU to be considered a planet:
1. It is in orbit around the Sun.
2. It has sufficient mass to assume hydrostatic equilibrium (a nearly round shape).
3. It has "cleared the neighborhood" around its orbit
Most people my age and older likely grew up learning that Pluto was a planet their whole lives. In
elementary we were always taught that Pluto was the ninth, smallest, and farthest planet in our solar
system. It seemed odd when the planet was reclassified because you had been taught something for
so long and it just changed out of nowhere. Even though Pluto does not meet the requirements and
is no longer considered a planet I feel like most people still consider it a planet and have been taught

The Planet, And Jovian Planets In The Solar System
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.

Jupiter's Ganymede and has a thick atmosphere. Another one of Saturn's larger moons is
Phoebe. It orbits outside of Saturn, and has a dark surface and a significant number of craters. The
smaller moons of Saturn, are mostly rock and ice, and are heavily cratered.
Scientists suspect most of these moons are geologically dead. Saturn's rings are restricted by small

Terrestrial Planets Essay
1. What are the terrestrial planets?
The terrestrial planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. These planets are composed primarily
of silicate rocks with structures consisting of a central metallic core, mostly iron, with a surrounding
silicate mantle.
2. How were Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune formed?
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune were formed by different types of rock and frozen materials
(water, ammonia, and methane). These materials were once planetesmals, which formed from the
rocky, metallic solid materials that were able to survive the collapse of the solar nebula which
formed our solar system.

Specifically, Mercury was once volcanically active, but no longer is. Eighty–five percent of Venus'
surface is made up of low lying volcanic plains. As we know, Earth has volcanoes. Mars has two
large volcanic systems, with the largest, the Tharsis region, stretching across 8,000 kilometers of the
planet. Volcanoes exist due to the buildup of pressure in the outer core. This forces the molten core
up to the surface of a planet, in the form of lava.
4. What are the characteristics of the inner planets? How do these vary from the outer planets?
Inner planets all contain a core, mantle, and crust. These planets are very dense and rocky. In
comparison to outer planets, inner planets are smaller, denser, and rockier.
5. What evidence is there to support that planets exist outside of our Solar System?
The discovery of other stars in early stages of formation support the fact that planets exist outside of
our solar system. These stars, surrounded by disks of gas and dust, are called proplyds. According to
astronomers, these disks are like that which the solar nebula was believed to be like, providing a
good source of evidence of other planets. Extrasolar planets, or planets outside of our solar system,
are believed to have formed from the distortion of the proplyd

Venus's Emission Of The Planet
Around three years ago was the first time in 115 years that Venus's path brought it right in the
middle of Earth and the sun. This led to a rare chance to take unique photographs of the planet and
study its atmosphere as well as how the sun's solar radiation affects it. This is the planet's time to
shine to show us brand new information.
Venus was backlit so extraordinarily well by Sol that pictures could be taken of it with a clarity
unrivaled by any before. These new pictures will help researchers and scientists study the planet, its
atmosphere, and how various elements of the planet react and change to the sunlight.

The Four Planets Of Jupiter
The four planets that are furthest from our sun are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. They are
called the outer planets. They are separated from the four inner planets by something referred to as
the asteroid belt, which is filled with big chunks of rock that are called asteroids. The asteroid belt
lies between Mars and Jupiter. All the outer planets are gas giants. They also take longer to orbit the
sun than the four inner planets, because they are much further away from the sun. Let's explore each
of the four outer planets.
The four outer planets are much larger than the inner planets, and their surfaces are mostly made of
gases, such as hydrogen. Jupiter is the fifth planet from the sun, or the first outer planet. It's also the
largest planet in the entire solar system. It's 300 times larger than Earth! It takes 12 Earth years for
Jupiter to completely orbit the sun one time. A very thick layer of hydrogen clouds covers the
surface of Jupiter. The mass of Jupiter is more than all the masses of the other planets combined,
which means that it has a lot more gravity than the other planets, and even more than the sun.
There is an area on Jupiter called the "Great Red Spot," and it's where lots of violent storms occur.
Just this one area of storms is three times larger than Earth! Jupiter has at least 63 moons, and new
ones are still being discovered. Each moon is unique. Ganymede is the largest moon in our solar

Neptune is the eighth and farthest planet from the Sun in the Solar System. It is the fourth–largest
planet by diameter and the third–largest by mass. Neptune is 17 times the mass of Earth and is
somewhat more massive than its near–twin Uranus, which is 15 times the mass of Earth but not as
dense.[12] On average, Neptune orbits the Sun at a distance of 30.1 AU, approximately 30 times the
Earth–Sun distance. Named for the Roman god of the sea, its astronomical symbol is ♆, a stylised
version of the god Neptune's trident.
Neptune was the first planet found by mathematical prediction rather than by empirical observation.

Via James Challis, he requested extra data from Sir George Airy, the Astronomer Royal, who
supplied it in February 1844. Adams continued to work in 1845–46 and produced several different

In 1845–46, Urbain Le Verrier, independently of Adams, developed his own calculations but also
experienced difficulties in stimulating any enthusiasm in his compatriots. In June 1846, upon seeing
Le Verrier's first published estimate of the planet's longitude and its similarity to Adams's estimate,
Airy persuaded Cambridge Observatorydirector James Challis to search for the planet. Challis
vainly scoured the sky throughout August and September.[24][27]
Meantime, Le Verrier by letter urged Berlin Observatory astronomer Johann Gottfried Galle to

The Angels And The Planets
There exists in the created universe, a so called chain of being, that stretches from the creator into
all that exists. There is a connection between even the largest objects fathomable in the universe, all
the way down to the smallest particle on our own planet. Likewise, our soul, thoughts, the angels
and the planets, our instincts, and our very human nature are inseparable from this cosmic order of
being. We are eternally united with our creator, the universe, and to all beings in it. (Tillyard, 25–27)
The universe was intended to work cohesively. Every tiny piece of the big picture works together.
All things, big and small, arid and humid, high and low, work in unison to create this equilibrium.
We as humans follow the same pattern. In the workplace, our home life, in our countries, most all of
us have inferiors and superiors. It is seemingly impossible to escape this chain as it was the way the
universe was created. In this same way the angels are ordered, the planets, all spiritual beings, down
to humanity, the animals, plant life, including the minerals rock and earth. (Tillyard, 26–27)
In the lower links of the chain you find mere existence, the elements, liquids, metals, minerals.
Inanimate objects with no apparent life. Then secondly we find existence and life together. This is
the vegetative world. Which is obviously a living organism, only apparently lacking cognition.
Lastly we group together creatures and animals, those with existence, life, and feeling.

When reviewing the distance, mass, density, and diameter planets and the objects in our Solar

and it is closer to the sun, has a high density, is composed of rock and heavy metals, and has a low
mass.
Anomalies/Inconsistencies in Data: When investigating the other dwarf planets, many of them had
several similarities, however, there were two that were slightly different than the others. Both Ceres
and Vesta had different distances compared to the other dwarf planets. Ceres's distance was 2.8 AU
while Vesta's was 2.36 AU. This is different compared to the other dwarf planets which have a much
larger distance. For example, Sedna has 86 AU, Eris has a distance of 96.4 AU, and Haumea has a
distance of 43.13 AU. This became an inconsistency, however, we did group these two planets in the
third group. Despite this anomaly, all of their other properties fit the requirements for group three,
such as mass, diameter, and density. Placing both Ceres and Vesta into group three was the best
option compared to group 1 or 2 because the distance would be the only inconsistency when placed

Astronomers have come a long way since ancient times with the research of this extraordinary

unfathomably unique. Until the late 1700's, Uranus was often mistaken as just another ordinary star.
Even though Uranus had been seen quite often by ancient astronomers through telescopes, it was not

It's obliquity is about 98 degrees. According to evolution, it is believed that the tilt is caused from a
large spherical mass colliding with Uranus during the beginning stages of formation, but there is no
definite reason for its tilt. This tilt also causes very unusual variations in its seasons. Uranus's year is
the equivalent to eighty–four earth years. This means it has forty–two years in light followed by
forty–two years of darkness. The rotation period is about seventeen and one–fourth hours, but since
it is so far from the sun, the day temperatures and the night temperatures are very close. Uranus's
Gravity is less than the gravity of earth, being at 8.69 meters per second squared. Meaning that if
you weighed 100 pounds on earth, you would weigh 86 pounds on Uranus. Being the the seventh
planet and nearly twenty astronomical units from the sun, it is expected for it it to be very cold on
Uranus. The average temperature is negative 350 degrees Farenheit. This knowledge disproves the
idea of water or life on this planet, but it did aid in the discovery of Uranus's icy rings in 1977.

Planet Nine

  • 1. Planet Nine Since Pluto was subjected to reclassification in the year 2006, our planetary family has possessed eight official members although there is tantalizing new evidence that gives the suggestion that a ninth world, ten times the mass of the Earth, might linger at the extreme, cold edges of the solar system. Astronomers Mike Brown and Konstantin Batygin, of the California Institute of Technology, think they've found evidence of this long–sought Planet X in the odd, slanted orbits of several chunks of rock and ice in the Kuiper belt, and it is this new world that is referred to by the duo as Planet Nine and informally as "Phattie," reports Alexandra Witze for Nature. The investigation was initiated in 2014 after the announcement of the discovery ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Though it has been discovered that these particulars wobbling behaviors were to be inaccurate measurements, searches have been conducted by many more scientifically traned investigators. While it is not possible to for this latest report to be considered infallible, it is the strongest yet claim for Planet X, writes Eric Hand for Science. Based on calculations made by the aforementioned two scientists, without a ninth planet, there is only a 0.007% chance, or one in 15,000, that the way the six Kuiper belt objects cluster could be found coincidental, Hand reports. Despite this conditional context, Planet Nine itself has not been detected–just the intriguing orbits because there would be too much distance between this planet and the Sun for there to be reflection of much light and there would be nearly impossible potential for being spotted with most telescopic equipment of dedicated–research quality and power of ...

  • 2. Mars Red Planet Mars, The "Red Planet" Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun. Mars is also the second–smallest planet in the Solar System. Mars was named after the Roman God of War. This planet is sometimes referred to as the "Red Planet." The shade of Mars is red, because of all the iron oxide present on its surface. Mars is a terrestrial planet. This means it is a planet that is mainly created out of silicate rocks or metals. The terrestrial planets in our Solar System, along with Mars, are the inner planets closer to the sun. They include; Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. The "Red Planet" has a mixture of appearances on its surface. It has craters like the moon and assorted valleys, deserts, and polar ice caps similar to our planet, known as Earth. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Is there life on Mars? Can we live here on this Red Planet? NASA believes we can send "Martians" to Mars. The word "Martian" would refer to an astronaut that they would be sending to Mars. NASA's plan is to send a rover to Mars by the year 2020 that is specially equipped for studying the availability of Martian resources, including oxygen. By 2030, NASA is expected to send the "Martians" to Mars in hope to make ground breaking discoveries about this interesting planet. Currently, scientists are unsure about inhabiting Mars, but they believe it is very possible. Scientists have recently discovered frozen water on this mysterious planet. This water is leading them to believe that there was inhabitance on Mars long ago. Scientists are working diligently research as much as they can before launching the astronaut to ...

  • 5. Planet Comparison Essay Each planet is greatly different to each other in many different ways. There are planets with almost no atmospheres, like Mercury, to those with a large atmosphere, like Jupiter. There are moons with more volcanic action, Io, then there are on some planets, Mars. There are even more differences between all of the celestial body's in the sky. The key thing is, how do we this? When it comes to finding the atmosphere of a planet we can use a form of emission line testing if we are in space, to get an idea of what it is comprised off. This testing uses the idea that if we focus on the planet from the distance of space, we can observe a rough idea of the atmosphere on that planet. When that does not work we could always send a probe on the planet ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This meant that the planet had a sulfur rich atmosphere. Some geological activity can be found just by watching. This means we can see the volcanoes on Io erupting or the change in formation on a mountain in mars can happen with Erosion. Although not as accurate as being there and watching it unfold it is still accurate to a degree. When it comes to measuring the composition of a planet we can see how the seismic waves of a planet affect the other side of the planet. By studying how the core develops and changes the seismic actives from one side to another we have been able to find the Iron core the Earth has. Most other terrestrial planets have a similar core structure but what about Jovian Planets? These are thought to have a liquid metallic hydrogen cores. These cores are similar to Iron ones in the development of the magnetic fields it is created. The reason these planets has a liquid hydrogen core is because of how far they are away from the sun. The distance is enough where gases can be liquids or solids so it would make sense that these gas giants have gas cores. Now unless we send a probe on the planet we will not have an accurate answer to the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 6. Venus : The Planet Venus The Planet Venus is named after the Roman Goddess of Love and Beauty. It is the second planet from the sun. Very similar in size and mass as the Earth. Some distinctive features of Venus are its rotation, Its brightness and its hot temperatures, Venus rotates in the opposite direction of the other planets. Astronomers believe that this was caused by a collision with and object such as an asteroid. It takes Venus 225 days to orbit around the sun once. The brightness of Venus is greater than all the other planets. Only the moon is brighter. Venus can be seen during the day on a clear day. During early civilization Greeks thought that Venus was two different objects. When the orbit around the sun passes the earth's orbit Venus' visibility changes from being visible after sunset to being visible before sunrise. With a temperature of 462 C, Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system. Due to its rotation and the fact that it has no tilt, Venus has no seasons. The temperature is always hot. Venus' similarities with the planet earth make scientists believe that they also have the same type of structure, with an interior core, mantle and crust. The structure of Venus was shaped by volcanic activity. The surface is about 300 to 600 million years old. In 1970 the European space Agency performed missions on Venus that gave indication of volcanic activities in Venus. They have indicated that since there is no rainfall in Venus the volcanic eruptions are cause of the lightning. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 7. Is The Planet Venus, The Most Brightest Star In The Planet? Venus is an extremely chaotic and hellish planet. Even though it is called earth's twin because of how alike their size, mass, and density are so much alike, they have nothing else in common. Venus is the third brightest star in the sky, which has something to do with its name. It has one of the most unique orbital characteristics in our solar system. There are phenomenons in its atmosphere that happen nowhere else in our solar system. Venus also has a rich history of exploration. The planet Venus is one of the brightest objects in our solar system, and is named after the roman goddess of love and beauty. The planet "may have been named for the most beautiful deity of her pantheon because it shone the brightest of the five planets known to ancient astronomers" (Choi, C 2017). Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system, even though it is not the closest planet to the sun. Temperatures on the planet can get up to 870 degrees Fahrenheit, which is hot enough to melt lead. Venus is often called earth's twin because its "size, mass, and density are so much like Earth's", but that's where the similarities end (Wyzant 2017). The planet's atmosphere consists of carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid, and scientist have found trace amounts of water in the atmosphere since the surface is too hot for water to be in a liquid or solid state. Roughly ⅔ of the surface of Venus is flat, with many volcanoes that emit a blue lava from the high amounts of sulfuric acid on the planet. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

The government called experts to offer a possibility to create a team due to the need of finding a way to save their planet, the team accept the offer and started to work together to find a possible solution.

  • 9. Uranus, The Planet Of Planet Uranus is the seventh planet from the sun, right behind Saturn, and in front of Neptune. Uranus is considered a Jovian planet alongside with Jupiter, Saturn & Neptune. In 1781, a British astronomer named William Hershel discovered the planet of Uranus. Hershel discovered the planet through his 6–inch telescope and thought it moved relative to the star, but noticed it traveled rather slow to be a star of some sort. Hershel originally wanted to name the planet Georgium Sidus, which is Latin for "George's Star". Astronomer Johann Bode suggested to Hershel that he shall name the planet "Uranus" which is the father of Saturn, in that way using the names from ancient mythology is continued on. It's not easy to see Uranus from Earth; you need to have specific equipment to observe it closely. Even through a telescope, Uranus looks like a tiny, bluish, greenish disk. Uranus' distance from the sun is approximately 2.9 billion km, which is about 1.8 billion miles. It has one of the lowest densities of about, on average, 710(kg/m3). As you may already know, there is never a definite explanation on how the planets we see today were formed. There are a couple of theories that explain how it may have come about. 2 theories that are known about are Core accretion and the disk instability method. The core accretion explains the terrestrial planets better rather than giant planets like Uranus.

After the discovery of Uranus in 1781, astronomers noticed that the planet was being pulled a little bit out of its normal orbit. John Couch Adams of Britain and Urbain Jean Joseph Leverrier of France, used math to figure out that the gravity from another planet beyond Uranus was affecting the orbit of Uranus. They figured out not only where the planet was, but also how much mass it had. A young astronomer, Johann Gottfried Galle, decided to search for the predicted planet and observed Neptune for the first time in 1846." –http://coolcosmos.ipac.caltech.edu/ask/146–– When–was–Neptune–discovered– "WHAT IS THE SURFACE OF NEPTUNE LIKE"?

  • 11. The Planet By Gustav Holst Gustav Holst: The Planets, Op. 32 Performed by Royal Philharmonic Orchestra Conducted by Andrè Previn Gustav Holst (1874–1934) was an English composer well known for his orchestral suite The Planets. Holst began his trip into the musical world as a young pianist. His father, Adolph Holst, was a skilled pianist who wanted Gustav to succeed at playing as he did. Gustav, however, was impaired by neuritis making it difficult to play for long hours. As Gustav aged he began trying to compose music instead. Gustav failed to gain scholarships to any colleges and his father, after hearing one of Gustav's small town operettas, borrowed money to pay for his college. Gustav's influences were pieces such as Wagner's Götterdämmerung and Tristan and ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Holst borrowed ideas from composers such as Scheonberg, Stravinsky, and Debussy. The Planets became Holst's most well renowned composition. Nevertheless, Holst despised the popularity the composition gained. He swore off astrology (until he read friends horoscopes in later life) and refused to sign autographs. His later music disappointed the public. The Planets was composed from 1914–1916. It was the time of the World War I. Adrian Boult did not conduct it until 1918 in a private concert for Henry Balfour Gardiner, who helped Holst earlier on with his composing career. It was not until 1920 that Albert Coates performed it in its entirety to Queen's Hall. It is an orchestral piece arranged into seven movements. Each movement dedicates itself to the planets known at the time besides Earth. "Holst considered each movement a progression of life." (Taylor) The first movement is "Mars, the Bringer of War." It begins moderately quiet with mainly percussion and strings attacking the ostinato in a march like 5/4 meter. Brass begins to crescendo its way in before the terraced dynamics of the upper woodwinds begin. It is a moderately fast piece. The main goal of the piece is to create a war–like sound. The beginning creates a sound that feels like troops are gathering and it continues until both sides attack, recuperate, and attack again with full force (during the coda). The tenor tuba carries the melody while the march–like rhythm keeps reappearing. As the piece ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 13. Jupiter: The Biggest Planet Review of Literature I. Introduction– History of Jupiter Jupiter is the most massive planet in our solar system. The planet was named after the kings of gods in Roman mythology. In a related way, the ancient Greeks named it after Zeus, the king of the Greek pantheon. Jupiter has helped transform the way we saw the universe in 1610 when Galileo discovered Jupiter's four largest moons. This project will describe Jupiter's characteristics. Some of these characteristics include size, Great Red Spot, colorful bands, magnetic field, distance from the sun and Earth, and its orbit and rotation. It will also explain the composition and structure of Jupiter. The last thing this project will describe is the planet's four largest moons. Thus, this project will give an in depth explanation of the planet Jupiter. II. Jupiter's Characteristics As mentioned earlier Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system. It is more than twice the size of all the other planets combined. A way to show its colossal size is that it could hold 1,300 Earths. In fact if Jupiter was 80 times larger it would have been a star. Jupiter's diameter is greater than 88,700 miles (143,000 kilometers). This is enormous compared to Earth which nearly has a diameter of 8,000 miles (13,000 kilometers). Its radius is 43,441 miles (69,911 kilometers). Jupiter has a mass of 1.898E27 kilograms which is equivalent to 317.83 in Earth mass. As you can see, Jupiter is a very huge planet in all aspects. ...

Well I believe that Pluto should be a planet for a number of reasons. One it has three moons two it orbits the sun and three it is in our solar system. In this writing I will be telling you why I think Pluto should be named as a planet again. Reason one is that Pluto has THREE moons and we have only seen moons orbiting planets.

Pluto's rotation period is 6.387 days, the same as its satellite/moon Charon. Although it is common for a moon to travel in a synchronous orbit with its planet, Pluto is the only planet to rotate synchronously with the orbit of its satellite. Thus being tidally locked, Pluto and Charon continuously face each other as they travel through space. From 1985 to 1990, the Earth lined up with Pluto and Charon to cause and eclipse every Pluto day. This occurrence allowed astronomers to gather a multitude of valuable information about Pluto and its moon. The eclipses lasted as much as four hours and by carefully timing their beginning and ending, measurements for their diameters were taken. Photograph's later taken by the Hubble telescope confirms Pluto's diameter of 1413 miles, and Charon's, at nearly half the size, 728 miles across within one percent accuracy. Astronomers where also able to determine the density of Pluto during the daily eclipses. By discovering the density to be approximately two grams per cubic centimeter, astronomers where able to hypothesize the make up of the planet. They concluded that Pluto is fifty to seventy percent rock with mixed with ice. Astronomers are also confident in the density of Charon.

That one key difference is that a dwarf planet has not cleared the neighborhood around its orbit. What that means is that it is not gravitationally dominant and that it is sharing orbital space with other bodies of the similar size. It is a very controversial subject as they still try to change the definition. So, these are the three criteria of the IAU to be considered a planet: 1. It is in orbit around the Sun. 2. It has sufficient mass to assume hydrostatic equilibrium (a nearly round shape). 3. It has "cleared the neighborhood" around its orbit Most people my age and older likely grew up learning that Pluto was a planet their whole lives. In elementary we were always taught that Pluto was the ninth, smallest, and farthest planet in our solar system.

  • 19. The Planet, And Jovian Planets In The Solar System 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.

These planets are composed primarily of silicate rocks with structures consisting of a central metallic core, mostly iron, with a surrounding silicate mantle. 2. How were Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune formed? Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune were formed by different types of rock and frozen materials (water, ammonia, and methane). These materials were once planetesmals, which formed from the rocky, metallic solid materials that were able to survive the collapse of the solar nebula which formed our solar system. 3.

Mars has two large volcanic systems, with the largest, the Tharsis region, stretching across 8,000 kilometers of the planet. Volcanoes exist due to the buildup of pressure in the outer core. This forces the molten core up to the surface of a planet, in the form of lava. 4. What are the characteristics of the inner planets? How do these vary from the outer planets? Inner planets all contain a core, mantle, and crust. These planets are very dense and rocky. In comparison to outer planets, inner planets are smaller, denser, and rockier. 5. What evidence is there to support that planets exist outside of our Solar System? The discovery of other stars in early stages of formation support the fact that planets exist outside of our solar system. These stars, surrounded by disks of gas and dust, are called proplyds.

They are separated from the four inner planets by something referred to as the asteroid belt, which is filled with big chunks of rock that are called asteroids. The asteroid belt lies between Mars and Jupiter. All the outer planets are gas giants. They also take longer to orbit the sun than the four inner planets, because they are much further away from the sun. Let's explore each of the four outer planets. The four outer planets are much larger than the inner planets, and their surfaces are mostly made of gases, such as hydrogen. Jupiter is the fifth planet from the sun, or the first outer planet. It's also the largest planet in the entire solar system. It's 300 times larger than Earth! It takes 12 Earth years for Jupiter to completely orbit the sun one time. A very thick layer of hydrogen clouds covers the surface of Jupiter. The mass of Jupiter is more than all the masses of the other planets combined, which means that it has a lot more gravity than the other planets, and even more than the sun. There is an area on Jupiter called the "Great Red Spot," and it's where lots of violent storms occur. Just this one area of storms is three times larger than Earth!

According to evolution, it is believed that the tilt is caused from a large spherical mass colliding with Uranus during the beginning stages of formation, but there is no definite reason for its tilt. This tilt also causes very unusual variations in its seasons. Uranus's year is the equivalent to eighty–four earth years. This means it has forty–two years in light followed by forty–two years of darkness. The rotation period is about seventeen and one–fourth hours, but since it is so far from the sun, the day temperatures and the night temperatures are very close. Uranus's Gravity is less than the gravity of earth, being at 8.69 meters per second squared. Meaning that if you weighed 100 pounds on earth, you would weigh 86 pounds on Uranus.

"Small Blue One," Child of the Sun spoke up with a voice just as smooth as the golden color on its surface. "Yes, Child of the Sun?" Small Blue One answered happily while gazing up at the golden giant in wonder, just like they did every day. "I have been thinking long, and I have been thinking hard, Small Blue One," Child of the Sun explained gracefully. "And I have come to the conclusion that I wish to travel throughout the Universe. It will be a long, dangerous, and daring trip, but I have decided that it will be worth seeing all of the wonderful things out there." Child of the Sun paused for a moment as they waited for Small Blue One to answer them. Sure enough, after a few moments of waiting, a very nervous voice came from the small, ocean blue planet. "Oh, travel across the Universe? Are you asking me to accompany you along this dangerous and long trip, Child of the Sun?" Small Blue One questioned while trying to keep the terror out of their ...

  • 34. Mars: The Eight Planets Of The Red Planet Mars Ever since the beginning of physics and Astronomy man has pondered the question, "Are we alone?" Scientists have studied and collected data from the eight Planets. However, mostly all of them lack the key nutrients needed. Except when we took a closer look at the red planet (Mars), one can see a couple of those nutrients on Mars. The most outstanding features of the red planet are its water, Atmosphere, and extreme storms. The closest planet in our Solar system to being suitable for life is Mars; containing the most valuable resource, water. On the surface of Mars are large valley networks that can only be created by the disturbance of large bodies of liquid water. In the northern pole (north pole), an ice deposit can be seen; this ice deposit contains frozen ice equivalent to the size of Lake ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... In Fact, Mars' atmosphere is similar to that of the Earth, sharing many resemblances in size, and density. However, centuries ago, Mars lost a majority of its atmosphere due to solar rays. Mars still has an atmosphere, it is just quite thick now. Due to this, Mars' atmosphere is mostly composed of Carbon Dioxide (95%), and having very little oxygen (0.13), and water levels . Mars' atmospheric pressure is only one hundred fifteenth that of Earth's at sea level . Before Mars' loss, planetary scientists said that its Atmosphere would have been very similar to ours. Mars is basically a vast frozen wasteland, undergoing varying weather patterns. Mars undergoes more sandstorms and dust devils than all of the deserts on Earth combined . Plus dust clouds on Mars can reach up to three thousand feet. in height and last several weeks. Even its windstorms can be quite violent, reaching up fifty to sixty mph, and having the potential to cover a large majority of the planet itself . With these winds and dust devils in mind it would be very hard to make a civilization or even live on this mysterious red ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 35. The Planet Of Saturn There are a total of 8 planets as of 2014, because Pluto is not considered a planet. Earth is described as the planet that has a lot of energy and is said to be average out of all the other planets. When the Earth tilts, it makes the seasons change every 3–4 months. Earth is described like the planet who protects the other planets from dangerous situations. Next, there is the planet, Venus, which is described that has similar features as Earth. On the planet of Venus, it is as hot as a desert, or maybe even hotter. It has clouds covering the surface, and it also has many volcanoes unlike planet Earth. Also, Venus has many dents and holes because of meteorites and asteroids hitting the surface of it. Venus also, spins the opposite direction, and slower than all the ...

It usually changes colors and gives off more heat than it gets from the sun. Jupiter has swirling gases which are found in the atmosphere of Jupiter. It has many moons, but one of them, Io has some dangerous volcanoes that are said to be very hot. Again, there is another large planet, Saturn that spins very fast on its axis. Saturn consists of many rings that is made of ice and dust. There are at least 18 moons on the planet of Saturn. Seventh, there is the planet, Neptune which is very much alike to Uranus, because they look the same. Neptune consists of large dark circles on the surface of itself, and is actually the farthest planet from the Sun. Eighth, the planet, Uranus is said to be unique because it is tilted 98 degrees. There is many rings but they have not been discovered since 1977, and also has 20 satellites. Finally, there is the planet, Pluto, which is technically not a planet as of right now, but it was in the past. Pluto is the smallest planet, and is farthest away from the sun. The atmosphere freezes and then returns back to normal. It is said from some astronomers ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 36. Pluto Is Not A Planet Pluto is not a planet because it does not meet the requirements to be one and it is different from the other planets. First, starchild.gsfc.nasa.gov "Pluto is usually farthest from the Sun. However, its orbit "crosses" inside of Neptune's orbit." Unlike the other planets which orbit the sun in a circle, Pluto's orbit around the sun is an oval shape. This makes it go into Neptune's orbit for 20 years every 248 years. Although they will never collide it is way different than any other planet. This shows that it does not meet the third requirement because it does not have a cleared out region of the sun. Next, nineplanets.org says "It is much smaller than any of the official planets and now classified as a "dwarf planet". Due to its size it is ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 38. Should Pluto Be A Planet Should Pluto be a planet? Should there be eight or nine planets in the solar system? Some. people agree that Pluto should become a planet, but researchers and scientists know better. An example of this is that Pluto only two of the three rules to be classified as a planet. Scientists including International Astronomical Union's president and astronomer Mike Brown have gladly accepted this idea and even have evidence to support it. Third, people already have a hard time learning all the planets in our solar system, we would have to make all the celestial bodies in the Kuiper belt planets. It is right that Pluto is not considered a planet, and it never should be one either. One important reason the small planet, Pluto, is not a planet is it ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
