Every planet in the Solar System takes a certain amount of time to complete a single orbit around the Sun. Here on Earth, this period lasts 365.25 days – a period that we refer to as a year. When it comes to the other planets, we use this measurement to characterize their orbital per...
NASA’s description of the purpose of Orion: For the first time in a generation, NASA is building a human spacecraft for deep-space missions that will usher in a new era of space exploration…and this new spacecraft will take us farther than we’ve gone before, including to the vicinity...
whose retrograde rotation can be expressed as an inclination of almost 180°; and Pluto, whose inclination is between those of Uranus and Venus. The reasons for these anomalies are unknown but are sometimes speculated to be attributable to impacts of planet-size bodies on the young planets during...
The lesson defines the purpose of man-made and natural satellites as they orbit the planets. What Is an Orbit? Have you ever wondered what could happen in the time it takes Earth to orbit the sun just one time? From the first day of Earth's orbit to its last, you'll celebrate a ...
The two satellites of Mars and the small outer satellites of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are irregular chunks of rock, ice, or mixtures of the two. They are perhaps captured asteroids or even objects from the Kuiper Belt that have been subjected to intensive meteoritic bombardment. ...
Earth are quite different. Compared to Earth, a year on Mars lasts almost twice as long – 686.98 Earth days. This is due to the fact that Mars is significantly farther from the Sun and its orbital period (the time it takes to orbit the Sun) is significantly greater than that of Earth...
