The Early Solar System

The Early Solar System
Scientists have been researching about outer space for years but still don't know as much as one may
think. Scientists still do not know much about the early solar system. Scientists believed that the
solar system was reshuffled around in the past which would explain the Kuiper belt and the Oort
cloud of icy bodies, the inner planets being destroyed by asteroids and why there isn't any super
Earths around in this solar system. But scientists recently discovered something that may change
their theory. In Michael D. Lemonick's "Plant Nine from Outer Space," Lemonick claims that
scientists may have found a planet with ten times the mass of Earth that is beyond Pluto and may be
the reason why objects from the Kuiper belt are following similar orbits ... Show more content on

Levison, a planetary formation theorist from Southwest Research Institute, said "it most likely
formed in the region of between about five and 20 [Earth–sun distances] and was scattered outward
by [a gravitational interaction with] Jupiter or Saturn." A man named Scott Tremaine from the
institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, NJ., says that if something was to hit a massive planet
like Jupiter it would be rebounded with such great force that there is no question it would be shot
out into interstellar space. Statistically, the odds for it to instead come into orbit around the sun is so
slim that it leads many theorists to believe that there may have been a mistake. For example,
Tremaine says that there may have been a mistake in the prediction in the efficiency in the scattering
process, he believes that there may actually be a higher chance of an outward flung object to stay
within the solar system than what scientists actually believe. A prediction that scientist Ben Bromley
from the University of Utah has is that if the super Earth were to scatter very early in the life of the
solar system before any other planet was formed, then it is possible for the planet to settle where it
did. Another theory was made by scientist Nathan Kalib, who theorized that if Planet Nine does
exist, it most likely came from another solar system and when those solar systems reshuffled and
ejected some objects, Planet Nine was caught by our sun. Scientists don't really have much
information on this Planet Nine, so it causes me to question why this article was published with very
little information. Scientists will have to follow this planet Nine's orbit to figure out how it got to
where it is now. This Planet Nine may not follow the original theory of the early origins of the Solar
System which is most likely why this article was published but there isn't much certainty in the
article. In my opinion this article was not an interesting

Asteroids in Our Solar System
Introduction:
When the first asteroids were discovered they were thought to be planets, just like every other star in
the sky. It is only with the advancement of astronomy that the differentiation could occur. Asteroids
are minor planets or sometimes referred to as planetoids or planetesimals. Those names are given to
anything in the solar system that does not seem to have the roundedness of a planetary body or the
typical characteristics of a comet. Asteroids can form in a number of ways; they can be pieces of a
larger extinct planet or a planet that was in the stages of forming when some event occurred to
change its path. A majority of the asteroids we know are ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The difference between an asteroid and a comet is commonly misunderstood; anything smaller than
ten meters across is called a meteoroid, with the broader term minor planet is preferred by the
International Astronomical Union. Other languages prefer "planetoid" and this term is used in
English for differentiating between larger minor planets such as the dwarf planets. The word
planetesimal has a similar meaning, but refers to the small building blocks of the planets that existed
when the Solar System was forming. The three largest objects in the asteroid belt, Ceres, 2 Pallas,
and 4 Vesta, grew to the stage of protoplanets. Ceres is a dwarf planet, the only one in the inner
Solar System. The main difference between an asteroid and a comet is that a comet shows a coma
due to sublimation of near surface ices by solar radiation. A few objects have ended up being dual–
listed because they were first classified as minor planets but later showed evidence of comet like
activity. Conversely, some comets are eventually depleted of their surface volatile ices and become
asteroids. A further distinction is that comets typically have more eccentric orbits than most
asteroids; most "asteroids" with notably eccentric orbits are probably dormant or extinct comets
(Weissman et al, 2002).
Much interest in asteroids stems from the collisional potential of some of their orbits. These "near
Earth asteroids" or "earth–crosser" are categorized into three types; Apollos,

There are many differences among our planets and moons in our Solar System. The geologic
activity, composition, interior structure, magnetic field, and atmosphere are all factors that help give
these planets and moons there identity. We have sent probes over the years to help examine these
properties.
For example, the Mariner 2 flew past Venus in 1962 and we were able to gain information that
Venus has extremely hot temperatures. Another example is Mariner 9 in 1971. This mission was the
first to successful complete a full orbit around Mars and allowed to snap a picture at one of the
largest Volcanoes in the Solar System. These probes we have sent out allow us to discover these
properties more in depth and make adjustments on future probes that we plan to set out. We have ...

This launch will be designated to fly into the Sun's atmosphere for the first time ever in history. The
goal of this mission is to understand how the corona of the Sun is heated and how solar wind is used
through the Sun. This mission will help lead us to discover how the Sun gain it's heat and how we
could possibly protect our heat on Earth. There has been a great formation of probe missions over
the years. The range of technology that has advanced is astonishing to believe that in a couple of
years we will have readable equipment to enter into the Sun.
I think there are definite benefits to our world by studying other worlds. There are many similarities
to other planets in the Solar System to Earth. We are able to study these planets and understand
better why certain physical changes happen. For example, why the atmosphere on Mars is thin or
why the atmosphere on Venus is not able to secure anything living. We are able to study these
differences and overall, we are able to understand the planet we live on better. Also, by studying
other worlds, we can prevent dangers to the global affect here on

All these speculations were only based on theories made by many scientists and apparently it began
4.6 billion years ago with the gravitational collapse of small part of a giant molecular cloud.
Apparently the small collapsing mess collected in the centre and formed Sun, while the rest flattened
into a proto planetary disk out which the planets, moons, asteroids and other small solar system
bodies formed. This idea of the solar nebula was first formulated by the Prussian philosopher and
physicist Immanuel Kant in 1755 and this idea to the problem was only qualitative because it was
similar to those taken fundamental today. This model was first developed in the 18th century by
these scientist Emmanuel Swedenburg, Immanuel Kant and Pierre–Simon Laplace. Its subsequent
development has interwoven a variety of scientific disciplines including astronomy, physics,
geology and planetary science. Since the dawn of the space age in the 1950s and the discovery of
extrasolar planets in the 1990s, the model both challenged and refined to account for new

Gravity Impact On Solar System
Gravity impacted the solar system in forming ,and still impacts our solar system today. Gravity does
a lot of things to our universe and solar system here are a few. In Origins of Everything it states
"Another possibility of the future of the evolutionary Universe is that gravity of all the matter might
eventually pull everything back together again in a gigantic collapse that explodes and starts the
Universe all over again." This is a possibility because it happened once and maybe it will happen
again. ANother example of something gravity can do is from Gravity and Orbits, I said that in the
simulation with the gravity on, the orbits stayed the same and weren't erratic but with the gravity of
the planets flew off into space and so would the sun. My last piece of evidence that gravity has a
huge part of formation of our solar system is from Objects in Orbit. " Gravity kept pulling matter
toward the center of the disk... The center of the disk became hotter and hotter." Gravity is the
reason we are here today, it made our star then our planets and keeps us from floating off into space.

For example in Objects in Orbits it says " Some of this matter formed objects. They continued to
orbit the sun." After the big bang this most likely what happened because of all the evidence found.
As shown by the Gravity Force lab. When Mass 1 is 50 kg and Mass 2 is 200 kg the Gravitational
force is .000000041712 N without Gravity there would be nothing holding our planets and star and
everything from floating off into space and going forever. In the simulation for Gravity and Orbits
the gravity can be turned off revealing that gravity keeps the planets from flying away into

The Evolution Of The Solar System
In inspiring people to have the passion in understanding the universal laws that govern us all,
Professor Stephen Hawking reminds us on his speech for his 70th birthday to "remember to look up
at the stars and not down at your feet" (enoch, 2012). Many scientists have been "looking up" and
have discovered answers to the many questions that we have of the universe for ages. They have
constructed theories, launched satellites, observed stellar phenomena, and even sent living beings in
space to gain more understanding of the existence of everything. After centuries of research and
observation, there are still some aspects of Astronomy that are still to be explored. One of them is
the evolution of the Solar System, which is composed of the Sun and everything that travels around
it. This includes eight planets and their natural satellites such as the Earth's moon; dwarf planets
such as Pluto and Ceres; asteroids; comets and meteoroids (Solar System Exploration, 2014). The
Solar System is located in the Milky Way Galaxy, which is a part of a galactic group under the Virgo
Supercluster. Figure 1 shows the location of our Solar System in the Universe. Many theories have
been proposed on how the Solar System existed, but none has been completely successful. This
spans from the time of the Ancient Greeks to the present 21st Century. As of now, the widely
accepted theory is the Nebular Theory, which describes how the Solar System started as a large
cloud of gas that contracted under

Solar System Formation
Ideas concerning the origin and fate of the world date from the earliest known writings. However,
for all that time, there was no attempt to link such theories to the existence of a "Solar System",
simply because no one knew or believed that the Solar System, in the sense we now understand it,
existed. The first step towards a theory of Solar System formation was the general acceptance of
heliocentrism, the model which placed the Sun at the center of the system and the Earth in orbit
around it. This conception had been gestating for thousands of years but was only widely accepted
by the end of the 17th century. The first recorded use of the term "Solar System" dates from 1704.
The formation and evolution of the Solar System began 4.6 billion years ago with the gravitational
collapse of a small part of a giant molecular cloud. Most of the collapsing mass collected in the
center, forming the Sun, while the rest flattened into a protoplanetary disk out of which the planets,
moons, asteroids, and other small Solar System bodies formed.
This model, known as the nebular hypothesis, was first developed in the 18th century by Emanuel
Swedenborg, Immanuel Kant, and Pierre–Simon Laplace. Its next development has interwoven a
variety of scientific disciplines including astronomy, physics, geology, and planetary science. Since

Many moons have formed from circling discs of gas and dust around their parent planets, while
other moons are thought to have formed independently and later been captured by their planets. Still
others, such as Earth's Moon, may be the result of giant collisions. Collisions between bodies have
occurred continually up to the present day and have been central to the evolution of the Solar
System. The positions of the planets often shifted due to gravitational interactions. This planetary
migration is now thought to have been responsible for much of the Solar System's early

With my hand, I can hold some things, type, a different way though, and many other basic tasks.
With my height, I can still walk, run, go upstairs and other ordinary tasks. Planets can also orbit,
rotate and other things that all planets do. None of the other planets have the correct environment to
live in, like Earth. My point is that my little hand and height, cannot do many things but still can do
the basic tasks that are necessary to life. Many people teens through adults, have used or at least
heard the phrase "that person is hot" This phrase indicates that someone thinks another someone is
good–looking. Many people use this to judge people or in some ways differentiate these people from
the people they do not classify as "hot". If you think about planets, more specifically Venus or
Mercury, you know that these two planets are the hottest, as they are closest to the sun.
Nevertheless, they are planets and are treated the same as other planets. I believe people should be
treated the same. People cannot change what they look like, and planets cannot move their location
to make them hotter or colder. Another thing, also revolving around the temperature of a planet, is

degrees C. the atmosphere is made up of methane, nitrogen and carbon monoxide, the atmosphere
extends about 1600 km above the surface. the surface is about 70% rock and 30% ice. we know that
there is water available but it is frozen. The gravity of Pluto is about 0.62m/s2. Pluto has 5 moons

Many meteoroids and comets have been responsible for the craters. Not all of the surface is cratered,
there still are many smooth terrain and cliffs. Mercury is extremely dense and contains a metallic
core with a radius of 1,240 miles, which is 80 percent of Mercury's own radius. The iron core is also
65 percent of the planet's whole mass. Mercury's surface consists of magnesium, aluminum, silicon,
sulfur, calcium, titanium, and iron. These elements like iron make this planet so much heavier
compared to other planets. Mercury is slightly bigger than the Earth's moon, yet weighs a lot more.
However if you could put Mercury inside the Earth, it would take more than 18 to fill the Earth.

The Solar System
Our complex of stars, planets, and all other celestial structures collaborate to run the quintessential
system that we live in, which has been our home for millions of years, the solar system. Yet, we
commonly ignore the thought, why does our solar system, hence the word system, join effort with
all structures to create the exemplary world we know today? To figure out the answer to this
question, it is essential to understand and appreciate our solar system. The world is exactly how we
humans desire, convenient for us to simply state that the Earth is close enough to the sun that we
receive ample heat, yet not too far that we do not freeze. The solar system is a working system of
countless stars, several planets and moons, and an abundance of comets and space phenomena.
The study of our solar system is a major portion of the oldest physical science, which is referred to
as astronomy. Space was quite well–known before the inventions of major astronomical tools, as the
six closest planets to the sun were already discovered (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and
Saturn). In addition, the motion of planets, moons, and other celestial structures were identified in
order to produce calendars and navigation tools. Astrology played a significant role in the lives of
ancient civilizations, with stellar patterns and lunar cycles providing religious guidelines. Although
several ancient civilizations played a huge role in making groundbreaking discoveries, the Greeks

Solar System Advantages
There are many different items that make up the solar system, and they are all classified very
differently. Two of the most important items in our solar system are the planets and the moons. They
differ in geologic activity, composition, interior structure, magnetic fields, and atmospheres. There
are multiple probe missions, both past and present, that support these concepts. There are physical
factors and characteristics that are important in determining the property of the items. In this paper, I
will discuss all of these topics as well as what benefits I think there are so studying other worlds as
well as the benefits I see to studying the solar system and why. The moon has no real atmosphere so
there can be no weatherly erosion, which is an issue some planets have. The atmosphere is basically
comprised of gases that surround the moon. The moon has an extremely low gravity and cools more
rapidly than some planets. It does not have any plate tectonics. The surface of the moon has been
created from years of impact by craters and volcanoes. The moon is often comprised of the crust, the
mantle, and the core. The moon is best observed through telescope observations, however; the moon
has always been subject to lunar landings, lunar samples, and orbiting space crafts. The moon has a
very weak magnetic field in comparison to planets such as the Earth. The moon does not have a
dipolar magnetic field. The crust is where most magnetization occurs. The first moon

Venus: Solar System
Description: Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system. It also is classified as an inner planet.
The planet's size is 3,760 miles. Venus is also known for its volcanoes. The biggest volcano on
Venus is Matt Mons. Scientists think Matt Mons is might be erupting. You can't see Venus's surface
because it has a super thick atmosphere. It is 67 million miles away from the Sun and is the second
planet from the Sun. Venus is also known as "Earth's next door neighbor" or "Earth's twin". In fact,
Venus is slightly smaller than Earth. Venus has no moons and is the sixth planet biggest planet in the
solar system. History: Venus was discovered in 1581 BC! One of the first tribes to record Venus's
rotation were the Ancient Mayans.

The Solar System : The History Of The Solar System
The Solar System
The solar system was created 4.6 billion years ago by a gravitational collapse. A solar system is a
star that has planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and meteoroids travel around it. The solar system
contains eight known planets which are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune.
There is around several hundred dwarf plants but only five are currently recognized. The solar
system has about 181 moons which orbit around the planets in the solar system. There is also about
150 million asteroids and 3,406 comets also in the solar system.
Sun
"The sun is the heart of our solar system" (NASA Solar System Exploration) which is located at the
center of the solar system. The sun has a radius of 432,168.6 miles. You would need 1.3 million
Earths to fill up the sun. But the sun is not the largest star there are several that are much larger. The
sun is the closest star to Earth which is around 93 million miles. The sun is like a big ball of gas. "In
terms of the number of atoms, it is made of 91.0% hydrogen and 8.9% helium." (NASA Solar
System Exploration). But if you measure by mass the sun is made up of "70.6% hydrogen and
27.4% helium." (NASA Solar System Exploration). Gravitational attraction which is made by
pressure and temperature in the core holds together the sun. There is three main layers in the sun
which are the core, the radiative zone, and the convective zone. Inside the core temperatures can
reach 27 million degrees Fahrenheit

Solar System Misconceptions
Misconceptions of the Solar System In our research we have found that students who are in grades
6th through 8th and below find themselves believing in the misconception that our solar system is
only made up of the sun, as well as eight planets. The California Science Standards state that, "The
solar system consists of the sun and the collection of objects, including planets, their moons, and
asteroids that are held around the sun by its gravitational pull." (NGSS, 2017). When a teacher is
applying the California science standards to their students they have to keep in mind that not every
student has the same learning style. Every individual student has a different learning style, like
kinesthetic, visual, and auditory to help them best learn in school. The misconception of the solar
system is being reinforced through california's science standards and teaching techniques but it
doesn't have too. In science it is common for 6th through 8th grade students to develop
misconceptions on the solar system. During a child's middle school years they learn about the sky,
the sun, the moon, the stars, and the planets. Once a child has been in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade they
have learned how to gather information and draw conclusions. The reason that 6th through 8th
graders may believe that you can only find the sun and eight planets in our solar system is because
that is what is insisted on being taught during those 3 years of education. In the scholastic article
they mention that

August 29, 2017
Lab Report 1–The Solar System During our first lab in Astronomy, we got to develop and perform a
hands–on experiment of the overall scale of our Solar System. We got to physically interact by
demonstrating and constructing a model of our Solar System by using a simple tool such as toilet
paper. Who knew? We used the toilet paper shown in the pictures as a visual representation to
illustrate the overall scale of the Solar System, to show the distance between each individual planet,
and to represent the distances of each planet from the Sun. We physically counted out each piece or
sheet of toilet paper to reach the destination of which the next or neighboring planet was from its
neighboring planet. We started with the Sun, then Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn,
Uranus, until we finally reached our final planet, Neptune. We drew dots to represent each planet. In
our lab activity, we created and demonstrated a relative scale model to show how the planets are
aligned and the distance between each of them. We created this model, so that we could better
understand the overall sizes of each planet and the distances of each of the planets from the Sun.
First, we used the model distance formula, which is model distance=0.25 inches/1,391,900 km *
actual distance in km. We used this formula to calculate the distance in which each planet lies from
the Sun. We found the overall scale distance of each planet

Prominences are immense clouds of glowing gas that erupt from the upper chromosphere. The outer
region of the corona stretches far into space and consists of particles traveling slowly away from the
Sun. The corona can only be seen during total solar eclipses.
The Sun appears to have been active for 4.6 billion years and has enough fuel to go on for another
five billion years or so. At the end of its life, the Sun will start to fuse helium into heavier elements
and begin to swell up, ultimately growing so large that it will swallow the Earth. After a billion
years as a red giant, it will suddenly collapse into a white dwarf –– the final end product of a star
like ours. It may take a trillion years to cool off completely.
Mercury
It is the closest planet to the Sun, and second smallest planet in the solar system. Its diameter is 40%
smaller than Earth and 40% larger than the Moon. It is even smaller thanJupiter's moon Ganymede
and Saturn's moon Titan Mercury is one of the planet that doesn't have a moon or salitlite obriting

Physics Of The Solar System
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,

The Solar System In The 1930's
Most people in their lives have seen a shooting star and exclaimed, "Make a Wish!" However, this
so called "shooting star" is actually the clue to how the solar system was created. While this rock
object is in space it is called a meteoroid, and then it is called a meteor when it enters a planetary
atmosphere. The friction of the meteoroid created by the incoming velocity causes it to heat up
quickly, and in result a bright flash of light. As noted above, this is what people see when watching
the sky. In addition, meteorites gave the first knowledge about abundances of chemical elements in
the solar system in the 1930s through 1950s. Meteorites are the most ancient rocks known to
mankind and have helped pave the way in the study of the formation

Also in paragraph three, it states that "Last May, the scientists published that they had discovered
three rocky bodies orbiting the star. They named them TRAPPIST–₁b, –₁c and –₁d. Later, Gilion
realized that the dip in brightness he thought came from ₁d was actually caused by three planets all
crossing at the same time." They eventually realized that there were actually seven planets. The
quote explains that all former three planets were orbiting their own star, which were caused in a dip
of brightness that caused the planets to cross at the same time. All TRAPPIST planets orbit the same
star, the line on which they orbit all move at the same times. They reach each starting point at the
same time which is not really like other planets we have ever heard of before, mainly because the all
of the planets in our solar system all move at their own speed.

When you fly a spacecraft near a planet you can measure how it is affected by the gravity. When the
spacecraft flies closer to a planet it becomes more affected by the inner layers of the planets interior.
Chemical fractionation is the process early in the formation of a planet that influences its structure
of its interior is gravity. Gravity causes heavier elements to sink to the core of a planet. The
thickness of a planet 's crust is directly proportional to the rate at which the planet cooled in the past.
Smaller planets cool faster. The cooling rate is proportional to the total mass of the planet. Large
planets cool slower and have thinner crusts. High cooling rates also determine the interior structure.
Slower cooling rates implies that planets still have warm interiors now. Warmer interiors imply more
a diversified structure. This is why mars is red, since it is smaller it cooled faster and elements like
iron stayed on the surface before sinking toward the core, which is why it also doesn't have a strong
magnetic field like
Earth. It is also worth noting that a thicker crust means less tectonic activity.
The best way to determine a terrestrial planets interior is by using seismology. A device called a
seismometer measures sheers from Earth quakes, or Moon/Mars quakes. When a planet quakes it
sends waves rippling through the planets interior, the denser the layer the shorter the wavelength. Of
course there

The Solar System Of The Sun
The solar system consists of the Sun; the nine planets, 67 satellites of the planets and a large number
of small bodies (comets and asteroids). The inner solar system contains the Sun, Mercury, Venus,
Earth and Mars. The planets of the outer solar system are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and 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. These objects, together with many lesser masses, are known as the
Solar system. The Sun is just a star, one of a hundred billion inhabiting our galaxy alone. Being a
star the Sun is an example of the fundamental building blocks of our universe. It formed, 4.5 billion
years ago, as the nucleus of a cloud of gas which was collapsing under its own gravitational
attraction. At its formation, hydrogen was the most abundant gas, as elsewhere in the universe, and
accounted for three quarters of the Sun's original material. This will changes as the hydrogen is
burned, and within the very central regions virtually all the hydrogen has been converted to helium.
The outer regions have not yet taken part

The Solar System
The solar system consists of our sun and everything that travels around it such as, eight planets and
their moons, asteroids, comets, and other space objects. Our solar system is constantly in motion and
has an elliptical shape which means it looks like an egg. It is believed to be more than 4 million
years old and contain some of our most amazing discoveries. Theories suggest that our solar system
along with our Universe formed due to the "big bang." The big bang was an explosion that in
response, Geologists believe formed the Universe and occurred about 13.7 billion years ago. In just
a matter of time, space and the building blocks of matter were created, and time soon began. From
that moment, the Universe started to expand, and continues to expand to this day. Over billions of
years, matter formed into large, complex structures that continue to evolve. However, recent
speculations support the idea that the sun and planets concentrated from a nebula, which is described
as a cloud of gas and dust in outer space. Particles of dust accumulated together and formed small
chunks and then expanded into larger ones eventually forming into planets. One of the most
important objects that was formed during this process was the sun.
Primitive astronomers once believed that the Earth was the center of the universe and that the sun
and everything else revolved around it. Copernicus proved that theory wrong and explained that

Physics Of The Solar System
Our solar system is home to many different types of planets and moons. These differences can vary
from the elements that make up the objects to the size of them.
While there are many different solar systems in the galaxy, they are unique in their own way. The
main reason for the differences in the solar systems is their formation at the start of their life. Our
solar system 's objects contain many differences that exist because of the unique way in which our
solar system formed.
While there are many differences between the objects in our solar system, it is not always easy to
know what they are. It has taken scientists many years and many different methods to obtain the

Phoenix can analyze the saltiness, pH, and other factors that can reveal if Mars 's soil could sustain
life. A third source that can be used to find information about planet 's is formulas. Over the years,
formulas have been developed that, with the proper information, can tell scientists the density,
orbital period, or even temperature of an object. Using the density of an object, scientists can infer
what elements make it up, as well as the orbital period and temperature to maybe find a planet that
could support life. Using information like this, scientists have guessed that Mars may have
supported life at some point in its existence, but that it is very unlikely Venus has.
Even though there are many differences, scientists have been able to use various methods to learn
much about the objects in our solar system.
In our solar system, the differences between planets and other objects mostly occur because of their
formation at the birth of our solar system. Although it is very difficult to tell, most scientists believe
that our solar system formed from a small chunk of an interstellar gas cloud. If true, the composition
of the gas cloud would have caused the composition of our sun as well as that of other objects in our
solar system. Once the sun formed, that influenced the formation of the planets. Since it was much
warmer closer to the sun, only denser, metallic elements were able to condense. This warmer
region is now home to the terrestrial planets, which

The Planets Of The Solar System
"The Nine Planets of the Solar System", which is an article posted on the NASA website, portrays
Earth as a planet that is caring yet still mortal. Interestingly enough, Earth has many characteristics
that can be analyzed and compared to human emotions. In the article, NASA states, many
characteristics, and those being: moderate temperature, a hot core, an atmospheric field that burns
projectiles before hitting Earth 's surface, a moon, and multiple natural activities which damages the
Earth 's internal and external characteristics.Therefore, Earth's beauty and vast miles of calm
appearance, makes it feel like there is a complete resemblance to me(of course not the green and
serenity of it). Out of every single planet in the article the most common and familiar characteristics

Solar System Boundaries
What do we mean when we say something has an edge, or a boundary? Some things, like a table or
a soccer field have clear edges and boundaries. Other objects, like cities and towns, have boundaries
that aren't as easy to see. It is hard to say where they end and something else begins. The solar
system is more like a city than a table or soccer field.
You could say that the solar system extends as far as the influence of the Sun. That could mean the
influence of the Sun's light, or the influence of the Sun's gravity, or the influence of the Sun's
magnetic field and solar wind.
Could the reach of the Sun's light be a good way to decide how far the solar system extends? The
light from the Sun gets fainter as you move farther away, but there is

Some people might know about the Earth, but what about the solar system? Earth Science and
Astronomy are similar in many ways and can be linked together. The basic fact that the Earth is a

a better perspective of how the universe works. So how did the Earth come to be? How did the
evolutionary life cycle of the solar system start out and how did it bring us to where we are at today?

This process allows us to study and know where our Earth came from and where it's going to go.
Being able to learn about our planet in the solar system, gives us the tools we need to observe and
learn about the rest of our universe. For example, the comparison of rocks, minerals, and the
different elements that make up the planets composition, helps us to prove how the solar system was
created and is also used as supporting evidence to the Big Bang Theory and Nebular Theory.
Since technology is always advancing, we are able to learn more about our universe every day. The
use of telescopes allows us to adventure out and gather data to monitor the Earth, surrounding
planets, and even galaxies that are far away. We are able to use the different types of waves that
make up the electromagnetic spectrum to determine what direction a planet is moving. Since there
are many types of waves of energy that are produced in space, we use different types of telescopes
to see the noise that is produced. For examples a radio telescope would be used to monitor the
enormous radio waves and an x–ray space station would be used to monitor the x–rays that are the
size of an atom.
In my daily life, I work with communications and computer networks in Afghanistan. We monitor
the health of the network to ensure there are no outages and the warfighter mission can be

Gravity Solar System
Gravity impacted the formation of the solar system because without gravity the sun would never had
been created and there would be no gravity to form the planets. Gravity impacted the motion of the
planets because it holds the planets in their own orbit. This information could help scientists make
new discoveries about our solar systems and other solar systems in the galaxy.
Gravity impacts the formation of the solar system because when the solar system was created first
what happened was gravity pulled dust and rock together to form the sun, then after that the gravity
from the sun helped form the rest of the solar system by grouping some of the leftover rock and dust
from the sun and making it into planets this is the big band theroy. The sun was the first planet to

Scientist know that planets that are closer to the sun are more rocky and the planets that are farther
away are mostly made of gas so they know that the planets closer to the sun are more likely to have
life on them (Notes). Knowing the solar nebula theory scientists will have a better understanding of
how other solar systems formed so they could compare the gravity of the suns of other solar systems
to the gravity of our own. (solar nebula theory notes and Objects in orbit)
In conclusion, gravity impacts the formation of the solar system because gravity is what pulled all of
the dirt and dust together to form the sun, and the planets. Gravity impacts the motion of the planets
because it is the unbalanced force that keeps the planets in orbit in newtons first law. Finally
Scientists can use this knowledge to compare other solar systems to our own and make new
discoveries about planets and

Roughly 5 billion years ago, our solar system no sun. Instead all that exists in our solar system

Nicolaus Copernicus Solar System
When it comes to understanding how the planetary solar system works, few natural philosophers
have affected us more than Nicolaus Copernicus. Nicolaus Copernicus was a scientist who was born
on February 19, 1473. Around 1508, Copernicus started to develop his own idea of the solar system.
His theory stated that the Sun was the center of the universe. Before Copernicus, it was widely
believed that the Earth was the center of the universe rather than the Sun. Copernicus's theory
stressed the idea of heliocentrism or "Sun–centered system". Also, the Earth spins on its axis once
everyday while it revolves around the Sun once a year. Although there were previous inventions of
the planetary model, Copernicus's heliocentric system was a simpler way to understand the
calculations of the planetary system. In the former ages, there were astronomical models that were
based on the idea of the planets having an angular rotation. These angular rotations took place at a
specific distance from the center of the universe. Aristotle's theory stated that the planets rotated in
spheres around the center of the universe at fixed distances. "Among other things, it had the distinct
disadvantage that it could not account for variations in the apparent brightness of the planets since
the distances from the centre were always the same" (Robert S. Westman). This distinct
disadvantage sparked from the fact that all the planets engage in the same motion around the center
of the universe. Within these

Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and by far the largest mass object in the solar system of all
the other planets. Jupiter is twice the size of all the other planets combined. It is as 318 times the
sizes of earth. The distance that Jupiter orbits the sun is 778,330,000 km (Gallant pp154). The
diameter is 142,984 km and the mass that it has is 1.900e27 kg. Jupiter is the fourth brightest object
in the sky after the Sun, the Moon and Venus. Mars is some times brighter. Galileo discovered
Jupiter in 1610(Gallant); another interesting fact is that Jupiter has 4 large moons. Which are known
as the Galilean moons. They were named Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. The first mission that

Jupiter has a huge magnetic field, much stronger than Earth's. Its magnetosphere extends more than
650 million km. Jupiter's moons therefore lie within its magnetosphere, a fact that may partially
explain some of the activity on Io. Unfortunately for future space travelers and of real concern to the
designers of the Voyager and Galileo spacecraft, the environment near Jupiter contains high levels of
energetic particles trapped by Jupiter's magnetic field. This environment will make it very difficult
to get a human into or close to the surface of Jupiter.
In conclusion Jupiter is still undiscovered among the gas planets. As I write this paper there is new
data that is being collected and being analyzed so we can get a better picture of what Jupiter inner
core and the atmosphere it is made up. Jupiter being so large that it make up twice the mass of all
the other planets combined. The spacecraft Galileo entered Jupiter atomostsphere it was carrying six

what they consist of. If you look up in the sky at night Jupiter is usually the brightest star next to
Venus and you can only imagine the size of this planet. Will we ever be able to land an aircraft on
the surface or create a flight suit or shuttle that could reach this in a human life time. Only time will

The solar system started out as a cloud of gas and dust. Now, it is full of planets, moons, asteroids
and comets. They began forming more than 4 billion years ago.
This week, scientists published a new study about the solar system. It says that Jupiter is the oldest
planet.
Jupiter formed less than a million years after the solar system began. A million years seems like a
long time. However, this was still very early. If the entire history of the solar system was squished
into one year, Jupiter would have formed in less than two hours.
Jupiter's core formed first. Then, Jupiter gathered up gas and dust. The planet grew to be 50 times
the size of Earth.

On one side were the inner rocks. They were between Jupiter and the sun. On the other side were the
outer rocks. They were between Jupiter and the outer edge of the solar system.
Today, those rocks are jumbled together in a single belt. It is between Jupiter and Mars. Rocks from
this belt sometimes land on Earth. Then, scientists like Kruijer can study them.
Rocks from the two groups look exactly the same. However, the chemicals inside them are different.
Space Rocks In Different Places
Scientists have special tools. They can see the chemicals inside the rocks. The chemicals tell the
scientists how old the rocks are. The chemicals also tell scientists which group the rock belonged to,
Kruijer said.
The rocks separated around 1 million years after the solar system formed. Then, they came back
together a few million years later.
Scientists believe that they came back together because Jupiter grew. The giant planet moved closer
to the sun.

Kruijer saw rocks that were the same age. They looked the same. The chemicals inside them were
different, though. This means that the rocks must have been in different locations, he said.

The Effects of Gravity
There are some people who worry that when they 're outside, if they don 't keep a
good grip on the ground, they 'll just go flinging off into space. They needn 't really worry
about this, because gravity generally keeps that sort of thing from happening. The thing is,
no one is really sure what causes gravity, but the effects have been studied by many
physicists and astronomers. Three of the more obvious effects of gravity are things falling
down, weight, and the the moon and planets staying in their orbits.
Things fall down. People have generally grown to accept that if one lets go of

So, too, the moon continuously falls around the Earth, and
the planets fall around the Sun. Each of these objects balances the Sun 's force of gravity
with its own momentum, that is, with its innate tendency to keep moving in the same
direction at the same speed. Take away the Sun 's force of gravity, and the planets would
sail into space, in whatever dircetion at whatever speed they happen to have. Take away a
planet 's momentum, perhaps with a giant hand that stops it in orbit, and it would head
straight for the Sun, drawn by the Sun 's gravitational force. But, because both gravity and
momentum are at work, the planets "fall", not down, but around, forever as they move in

elliptical, but nearly circular, orbits.
Working with insight that has never been exceeded since, Isaac Newton showed
that by making one simple assumption, that all objects in the universe attract one another
in accordance with a simple relationship, he could explain the fall of objects to the ground,
the moon 's orbit around the Earth, and the planets ' motions around the Sun. The
relationship Newton conceived was this: Every object attracts every other object with an
amount of force that varies in proportion to the product of the two objects ' masses, and in
inverse proportion to the square of the distance between the centers of the objects. It is
plain to see that gravity is quite important. The

Pluto In The Solar System
As humans, many unnecessary questions appear in our brain quite frequently, questions that will not
really benefit us whenever we find the answer to it, but we are crazy to find that answer anyway.
Humans are simply just very curious beings. Growing up, in elementary school, I was taught that
there were nine planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.
But today, in the year 2017, there are only eight because Pluto is no longer a planet. Pluto is the
smallest and the farthest from the sun, so I predict that is one of the reasons that it can no longer be
classified as a planet in our solar system.
Pluto is scientifically classified as a dwarf planet, which is a surprisingly big category considering

average distance from earth to the sun,according to NASA.In nearly all models of the solar system
the planets are close but in reality they are quite far away from each other. The distance from planets
also depends on the time of orbit. The furthest planet in our solar system is Neptune, Neptune is 30

Planet : The Planetary System In The Solar System
The only planetary system that is known to man is our solar system. It is made up of nine planets.
The nine major planets in our solar system are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus,
Neptune and Pluto. There are also many other minor planets, which are also in our solar system, but
they are unimportant compared to the nine major planets.
Mercury, which is the planet that is closest to the sun, is the first and smallest of the inner planets. It
is speculated that the heat from the sun made it impossible for the gases present to become part of
the planetary formation. The surface of Mercury is extremely hot. It is approximately 470 degrees
Celsius on the surface and is thought to be even hotter at the two hot spots. These hot spots are on
opposite ends of the equator. It is the heat of the surface that makes it impossible for Mercury to
have any type of atmosphere. Mercury orbits the sun once every 88 days and has a true rotation
period of 58.6 days.
Venus is the second closest planet to the sun and is said to be the most closely resembles to Earth in
size, density, and distance from the sun. Most scientists know Venus as the sister planet to the Earth.
It is called this because it closely resembles the Earth's mass, density and diameter. The only thing
different is that Venus is shrouded in thick clouds that completely hide the surface of the planet. The
surface temperature is also much warmer than that of Earth. Venus completes one revolution around
