THE SOLAR SYSTEM: By: Professor Lubek The study of Astronomy came from Astrology, divination by the positions of planets, moon, suns (horoscopes, tora derive from astrology and such views are always unstable) Most scientists no longer follow astrology today & the science of Astronomy is constantly changing. PLANET, # of MOONS: Moon's diameter is 3 475 km, Moon's distance from Earth is 384 470 km 1. MERCURY 2. VENUS, 3. EARTH, 1 4. MARS, 2 Phobos, Deimos 5. JUPITER, 62 Io, Europa (has frozen water), cool size 6. SATURN, 33 Enceladus (has frozen water) 505 km in diameter, has geysers its moons Dione 1126 km, Tethys 1061 km, last two moons r composed of water ice around rocky core. 7. URANUS, 27 8. NEPTUNE, 13 Triton -. PLUTO 1 Charon AS OF 8/24/06 NO LOONGER A PLANET, DOOES NOT CIRCLE THE SUN RIGHT, DIF ANGLE OF ROTATION. -. SEDNA (Classified almost as a Pllanet in 2004) Dwarf Planets: Pluto, Ceres, Eris, Makemake, Haumea Both Pluto and Sedna are now classified as sub-planets of solar system. I think Pluto is a planet, the group whose votes stripped Pluto of its planetship had no right to change its status because about half of group voted thus the decision is not in full agreement of astronomical community, including amateurs! Years,Days: Planets Rotation around Sun + Diameter in Miles/Kilometers: Mercury 87.97 3 030m/4870km Venus 224.70; 7 525/12 093 Earth 365.26; 7 930/12 745 Moon's diameter: 2 163/ 3 475, 150 000 000 km distance from Sun, 385 000 km distance from Earth Mars 686.98; 4 222/ 6785 Jupiter 11.86 Years; 89 420/143 698 Saturn 29.46; 74 900/120 364 Uranus 84.02; 31 770/51 054 Neptune 164.79; 31 410/50 476 Pluto 248.0 1 480/2 378; 5 900 000 000 km from Sun Sedna 700.0 1 500/2 410; 17 000 000 000 km from Sun Triton is the largest of the 18 moons of Neptune. Unlike all other large planetery moons, Triton has a retrograde orbit, it rotates opposite to Neptune's rotation. Triton was discovered by William Lassell in 1846. Triton is the coldest object that has been measured in our Solar system with a temperature of -235 C (-391F). Absolute zero is at -273.15 C, -459.67 F. 0 Kalvin or 0 Rankine, where thermal energy is at a minimum. No life is possible (but not all life can be killed). -------------------------------------------------------------------- With 10 to the 11th stars in our galaxy and 10 to the 9th other galaxies, there are at least 10 to 20th power number of stars in the universe. Most of them may be accompanied by solar systems. If there is 10 to the 20th power solar system in the universe (universe may be part of subuniverse, in turn part of multiverse because all we can see so far is 15 billion light years in the past) & the universe is 10 to the 10th years old and if solar systems have formed roughly uniformly, paralle in time then one solar system is formed every 10 to the negative 10th year or ? On average, a million solar systems are formed in the universe each hour ? There must be some other life out there, but so far there is no proof; it's possible there are some moneras and bacterias or frozen microbes, microscopic life waitin to be awaken. Possibility of life on 3 moons: Enceladus (500km), Europa (3140km), Titan (5150km) are moons of Saturn that are frozen. Mars had water on its surface millions of years ago. So far, scientists did not prove life existed there, but it's possible there were microbe organisms. If there were any, son's UVC (umbilical vein catherer) rays killed them. Nothing escapes the power of Ultra Violet Light Radiation. Even molecular/atomic world changes, that's subatomic world.
