Homework question with 2 parts
A. Compare and contrast the geologic and atmospheric characteristics of the following two
moons: Miranda and Triton.
B. In what respects is Pluto more like a moon than a Jovian or terrestrial planet?
Solution
A.
Geologically triton made of solid surface and an evidance of geological activity as IOs and its
surface young with sparse impart craters. Spectroscopic studies reveasl that Triton consists of
thin nitrogen and methane atmosphere.Mirinda atmosphere composes of half of ice and half of
rocky materials (silicate rock) at its center. The geological activity caused by tidal heating.
B.
Size of Pluto is very less(1/6 th mass of our moons). Pluto is more like a moon than jovian
planets.Like terristrial planets, Pluto does not consists of rocky (solid) surface and like jovian
planets, pluto does not consists of gases and liquids composition ..
