Compared to Earth over most of its 4 to 6-billion-year history, the world we live in today is quite (i)___. Of course, it is human nature to regard the world that we are used to as (ii)___. The oceans, prairies, and mountain chains—even the air we breathe—seem the norm a...
On Earth, explorers have been using a compass to navigate for hundreds of years. Thanks to our magnetic field on Earth, a compass always points North. But trying to use a compass on Jupiter would be a waste of time. Due to its liquid metallic hydrogen core and storms containing conductive...
Thanks to examinations of Moon rocks that were brought back to Earth, the predominant theory states that the Moon was created roughly 4.5 billion years ago from a collision between Earth and a Mars-sized object (known asTheia). This collision created a massive cloud of debris that began circli...

One alternative hypothesis holds that the moon seems larger near the horizon because we can compare its size to nearby trees and other objects on Earth — and it looms large in comparison. Overhead, amid the vast expanse of outer space, the moon seems diminutive. One way to test whether...

Our own planet, the Earth, is becoming more and more crowded and polluted. It is hoped that people could start all over again and build a better world on Mars. Here is what life there could be like.At present, our spacecraft are too slow to carry large numbers of passengers to Mars-...
Earth’s axial tilt (or obliquity) and its relation to the rotation axis and plane of orbit. Credit: Wikipedia Commons Mars’s axial tilt is very similar to Earth’s, being inclined 25.19° to its orbital plane (whereas Earth’s axial tilt is just over 23°). This means that Mars also...
