...Venus holds many number two spots in the field of astronomy. It is the second brightest object in the night sky (behind the Moon), second largest terrestrial planet, and is the second planet from the Sun. Venus has an apparent magnitude of -4.6, which is bright enough to cast shadows. It’s so bright that it can also be viewed during the daytime on a clear day. It does take the number one spot for being the hottest planet in our solar system. It was first recorded in the 17th century BC by Babylonian astronomers. The planet’s name orignated from the name of the Roman goddess of love and beauty. Venus is also commonly referred to as Earth’s sister planet because of their very similar size and mass. Both planets have a central core, a molten...

...Living on Venus Venus is the second planet from The Sun. The Earth is the third. This means that the two bodies are close to each other in comparison to the size of the universe. The distance between The Earth and Venus is constantly changing, because they are both in orbit around The Sun and are orbiting at different velocities. The farthest distance between Venus and Earth is 2.61 x 1011 meters. The closest distance between them is 3.8 x 1010 meters. This is a wide range; therefore the time it takes to travel to Venus from Earth would be determined based on the distance between the two planets. The average time it would take to travel is 7.3 months. Gravity is an important factor in daily life. The gravity on Venus is 8.87 m/s2. One’s...

...My group and I chose to do the planet Venus and the missions that were done to get information about the planet. The mission that I chose to do was Pioneer Venus. It was part of the Pioneer program, which consisted of two spacecraft’s, the Pioneer Venus Orbiter and the Pioneer Venus Multi-probe. The program was managed by NASA’s Ames Research Center. Before explaining the mission and what I learned about it, lets focus on Venus for a bit and learn about the background of the planet. Next to the sun and moon Venus is the third brightest in the sky. By the size and mass it can be said to be the sister planet to Earth because they are so similar to each other. Also it is the closest planet to Earth. Clouds formed from sulfuric acid...

...Aphrodite is depicted in many sculptures. During the year 350, a full-body, naked, beautiful statue of Aphrodite was created for the first time by Praxiteles. The statue was very sexualised, to show Aphrodite’s ability to provoke sexual desire and to show her beauty(2). Venus de Milo is an ancient sculpture, discovered in 1820 on an island. The woman represented by the statue is beautiful, half naked, but sadly the statue is broken and missing pieces. Although no one knows for sure who Venus de Milo is supposed to represent, many assume Aphrodite was the inspiration because she is half naked, and could be sexualized. (The statue was named after the assumption was made, Venus is the Roman name for Aphrodite.) The sculptor is long gone, so the...

...As we know, all planets in the solar system cannot support life for humans even Venus, but Earth can. Earth is the third planet from the sun while Venus is the second planet from the sun. Earth is the only planet in the solar system that can support life because it has water on the surfaces and oxygen in the air (“Exploring The Planets: Earth”). That’s why we can live and have a long life on this planet. Unlike Earth, Venus is very hot and dry (“Exploring The Planets: Venus”). It always covered by a thick layer of clouds or layers of gases, and that makes Venus a lifeless planet. So, Earth and Venus have similar size, mass, and volume but that’s doesn’t make Venus become a planet that human can live in. The temperature between Earth and Venus...

...The Venus de Milo, also known as Aphrodite from Melos, is a famous ancient Greek statue that represents Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty. Her name, Venus, comes from the Roman name for Aphrodite, and Milos is the Greek island where she was discovered in the 1800’s. She is one of the best-known sculptures from ancient Greece having been created during the Hellenistic period, ca.150–50 BCE. During the Classical period, the art and culture from 480 and 323 BCE, there was a drastic advancement in art. In the course of this time the artwork, especially sculptures, became more natural, realistic, and human-like. Though made from marble and other unyielding materials, the artists managed to make their work look as though they were true humans with soft flesh that could breathe. Praxiteles was a famous sculptor from this time that had this amazing ability. He sculpted the first nude statue of a goddess, Aphrodite of Knidos. This trend of creating realistic statues has continued for centuries. During the Hellenistic period, the period directly after the Classical, ca. 323 BCE, and 30 BCE, there was a great demand for Classical Greek sculptures, copies, or artwork created in a similar style. Artists of this time attempted...

...Many scientists believe it would be possible to maintain a permanent human presence on Mars or the Moon. On the other hand, conditions on Venus are so extreme and inhospitable that maintaining a human presence there would be impossible. First, atmospheric pressure at Venus' surface is at least 90 times greater than the pressure at Earth’s surface. This means that a force of 100 kilograms is pressing down on every square centimeter of surface. All spacecraft that have landed on Venus have been crushed by this extreme pressure within an hour of landing. Almost anything humans might land on Venus would be crushed as well. Second, as far as we know, there are no reservoirs of water on Venus’ surface, and the planet’s atmosphere, made up mostly...

Romeo, a boy, is the first born, Venus a girl the second born, the video concentrates mostly on their athletic development in their chosen sports. The Romeao family have a further 4 children, two girls, Angel and Isis and two boys, Achilles and a baby, Caesar. Good intro. Nice signposting Discussion I feel the Father, Tony, has determined that some of his children will be given what he feels is a strong supportive and motivating climate to influence them to compete at an elite level in a chosen sport. His reasons for this seem, on the surface, quite selfish. He desires to be the father of an Olympic champion and he thinks if his son becomes a boxing world champion there will be enough money for all of the family to live on. For Venus, that sport is gymnastics where Tony wants Venus to achieve Olympic status. For Romeo, the sport is boxing where Tony wants Romeo to achieve a high profile career leading to a world championship. Yes. Mainly for financial reward it seems.

...HUM303 Sample Outline Format for the Course Project Venus de Willendorf VS. Barbie I. This section of the research paper will aim to establish an understanding of the differences in culture from the Paleolithic era to the contemporary society. This will also serve to identify the reasons for conducting research on the given subject area. Moreover, this section will also inculcate the idea of contrasting the cultural differences by way of analyzing art and 'idols' from both the times, the Paleolithic culture's Venus de Willendorf with today's ideal woman which is Barbie. Additionally, also briefly highlight the fact that even though today's contemporary society and its values do not in any way resemble the values and hierarchy of the pre historic period of our history; there remain some similarities, which commonly manifest as 'instincts.' A. Throughout the ages, what is considered beautiful in woman has varied. B. I think as the world evolves more, the choices of many begin to change. I think that most people now days prefer Barbie over Venus de Willendorf because Barbie is the ideal dream girl. II. The Paleolithic culture existed at a time commonly known as the pre historic period of our history which is marked by the development of the first ever traces of “technology,” that is the age when the rough and primitive tools made of stone were invented. A. We will talk about how people back then viewed women and what their views were. i. Women, back then, were known...

...Final Learning Team Paper GLG/150 Final Learning Team Paper During the early days of mankind, humans were led to believe that he or she were the sole entity of the universe. The Earth was thought of as exact center of the solar system, and that other planets revolved around it. Through the efforts and determination of individuals who refused to believe unchecked facts or documents, Earth is not the center of the universe but is instead a small piece to a larger solar system. The discoveries made by earlier pioneers of science Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, and Newton. Developed ideas that help individuals understand the concepts of motion, and the formation of celestial bodies in space. Theories of gravity and space dramatically changed the views in which Individuals determine the origins of our Moon and other planets within our Solar System. As science and technologies progress, ideas of formations and motions in space provides more educated theories of how our world, or universe has formed and will continue to function. The Earth was formed about five billion years ago and is the earliest material in the solar system, which a solar nebula that collapsed from the formation of the sun ("How Did the Earth Form", 2012). Dust and gas from the solar nebula took about millions of years to form into the earth starting with center of the Earth to cool down and form a crust that allowed water to...

...world. In any type of relationship, business or personal, communication is so important that it can make a business or relationship a success or a failure. Part of the world or the age of the relationship has an impact on a relationship but what can make it or break it, is the communication. Everyone communicates differently because of their backgrounds, their environment, their gender all have a reflection on their perception and their ways of communicating. Gender is known to have the most differences in everything, especially communication. Women like to talk and be open about any topic, while men are quieter and more to themselves. Since men and women tend to have different points of view, their conversations tend to be different. Research shows that “women use communication as a tool to enhance social connections and create relationships,” while men use communication to show dominance and reach actual goals (Merchant, 2012). Women like to have many close relationships with friends, co-workers, and families, while men don’t care for close relationships outside their immediate family. Woman will use the relationships she establishes in a workplace to get the things she needs done. While a man will use his dominance to get what he needs done. If a business values employees’ opinions than a demanding approach wouldn’t be as effective as a persuasive approach, which a woman would use due to her relationships. Women communicate to build relationships and bonds with people,...

...This was an effective start because it drew the reader in with something they likely had heard about at some point, and if they had not, it informed them of it. The topic was Venus Williams hair at the Australian Open for tennis- braided with beads in it. Banks says that was the moment she realized “…hair STILL matters for black women…” (Banks, 2004, 144). An important section of the paper is when she discusses more historical ideas of what hair means. She mentions Freud as a theorist who was interested in the social importance of hair (Banks, 2004, 144). Banks builds up to discussing her own unique research by looking at the research of others. I found this very effective in ensuring the reader stays...
