solar system. I will present different, unique and amazing facts about each the eight planets. My project also displays a colored example of what each planet appears to look like as well as statistical information. Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, are called the terrestrial planets because they have solid rocky surfaces. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune and are called gas giants. Earth is the only planet of the eight that has life forms as we know them. All other planets have extreme

Introduction Humanity has searched for life in our solar system and outside of it for years. Speculation supporting and against the probability of life on other planets has been a subject of debate in the scientific word and beyond. The probability of life mathematically is extremely low even when all the elements of life are present. Stages of evolution and development needed to create life take time. This time that it takes to develop is difficult to come by in the Universe according to some

of technology: science, mass transportation, and mass media. Thus, in order to overthrow the Communist threat, films such as Red Planet Mars (1952) and television shows such as “I Led 3 Lives” filter the American anti-Communist effort through the defeat of Communist-controlled technology and the restoration of the conservative American Dream. Both Red Planet Mars and “I Led 3 Lives” portray the Communist threat as threatening the status quo of the American dream, stable domesticity, and the patriarchal

up of all the planets that orbit our Sun. In addition to planets, the Solar System also consists of moons, comets, asteroids, minor planets, dust and gas. The inner solar system contains the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. The main asteroid belt lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. The planets of the outer solar system are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune (Pluto is now classified as a dwarf planet). Everything in the Solar System orbits or revolves around the Sun. The Sun contains around

Report 4 – Living on Another Planet Transportation systems: Engineers have many design considerations and restraints when developing transportation systems and vehicles for Mars. The amount of dust on the planet will affect mechanical systems. Vehicles on Mars that have to go long distances will need to be pressurized. Rovers for planetary exploration are in development. Rovers for surface science and geology will also be needed, this design is for a drilling and exploration vehicle. In order to

A 21st Century Model Of The Sun The visible surface of the Sun is called the photosphere. This is the region of the Sun where energy produced in its core can finally escape the star, and fly off into space. It reaches a temperature of almost 6,000 degrees Kelvin, and gives the Sun its white/yellow appearance. | | | | | Perhaps the most familiar feature on the surface of the Sun are sunspots. These are relatively cooler regions on the surface of the Sun, where its magnetic field lines pierce

about planet Sauce. From my understanding Planet Mars is the best planet to live on besides Earth, It has water in the form of ice at the poles. Although there is no atmosphere Scientists states that we can crack water to get oxygen and make our own atmosphere inside protective pressure domes. Well our climate is exactly like mars, It contains the polar ice caps, seasonal changes and the observable presence of weather patterns. Like earth planet mars has periodic ice ages but there is an absence of

Casandra Lopez Korenic-Astronomy Sun I will be writing about the Sun, and how it plays a part in our Solar System. Starting with what our Sun is composed of, being that it is not a planet. It is a star, since it has no solid surface. It’s made of gases, 7.8 percent of Helium and 92.1 percent of Hydrogen. Being that it is not a solid body, the equator of the Sun spins at a different rate than the poles of the Sun. The poles take about 11 more days to spin than the equator. Even though it is not
