1. What is Gravity?
Gravity is when you drop something and it falls to the ground. Gravity is also was keeps us on the ground. That is why when you jump you will always fall down. But there is no gravity in space. That is why astronauts float instead of fall when there out in space.
2. Describe the position, motion and components of our solar system.
The position of our solar system: Mercury is the closest planet to the sun next comes Venus then there is Earth. After Earth we have Mars then Jupiter. Next is Saturn, Uranus and finally Neptune. Pluto used to be a planet until a few years a go N.A.S.A named it a dwarf planet. The motion of our solar system is: All the planets orbit around the sun. It takes Mercury 88 earth days do orbit the sun, Venus takes 224 earth days to orbit the sun, It takes Earth a whole year to orbit the sun. Next it takes Mars 686 earth days to orbit the sun, Jupiter takes 4,332 days, Saturn takes 10,759 days, next Uranus takes 30,687 days, Neptune takes 164.79 years and finally Pluto the dwarf plant takes 248 years to orbit the sun. Next the components of our solar system are: Planets, satellites, asteroids, comets, meteoroids/meteoroid showers, and dust.
6 Interesting Facts on Space:
1. Did you know that in space the skin on your feet peel off?
2. The astronauts on Apollo 11 were placed in quarantine after returning from the moon.
3. One million Earths could fit inside the sun
4. You become taller in space
5. Space is not that far away. If you could drive your car upwards you be there in less then and hour.
6. Did you know the closest planet to the sun is not the hottest? Venus is! This is because Mercury doesnt have an atmosphere, so it will only be hot in the daytime when it is directly facing the sun.
3. Describe The Environment Of Your Planet Versus Earth
On Jupiter there is very strong winds. They travel from 225 miles per hour to 1000 miles per hour. There is also freezing temperatures of -270 degrees to +32 degrees. But on Earth the coldest has only been -94.7C. To us that is freezing, but compared to Jupiter's normal temperature earth is pretty warm. Jupiter's interior possesses an environment of pressures as great as three million times the sea-level pressure on earth, and temperatures as high as 10,000 degrees. Jupiter is a gas planet and Earth is a rock planet. Earth has water but Jupiter has some, but it's only in the cloud tops.
4. The overall scale of Jupiter, And Structure and Age of the Universe
The scale of Jupiter: Jupiter is 318 times as big as Earth. Jupiter is the biggest planet in our solar system. If the mass of all of the other planets in the solar system were combined into one "super planet," Jupiter would still be two and a half times as large. Jupiter has a radius of 69,911 kilometers, about a tenth that of the sun. The diameter of the equator is 142,984 km.
The structure of our universe:The overall structure of our Universe is made up of voids and filaments, that can be broken down into super clusters, clusters, galaxy groups, and subsequently into galaxies.
Age of the Universe: The universe`s age is 13.82 billion years
5. Facts on Earth
1. Earth is the only known planet that can have life
2. Earth is the only planet that has an atmosphere containing 21 percent oxygen
3. Its the only planet that has liquid water on its surface
4. The Earth is the only inner planet (Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars) to have one large satellite, the Moon.
5. The Earth is fragile. Its surface is split into plates (tectonic plates) which float on a rocky mantle – the layer between the surface of the earth, its crust, and its hot liquid core. The inside of the Earth is active and earthquakes and volcanoes and mountain building takes place along the boundaries of the tectonic plates.
