What is unusual about the rotation of Venus? What is Lexell's Comet's mass? What type of planet is Jupiter? What is the mass of Comet Hyakutake? What is the orbital period of Venus? What is the density of Ceres? Why is Venus the brightest planet?
What is the Earth made of? What is the moon made of? How are Jovian planets formed? What characteristics do Neptune and Uranus have in common? If a person was on Uranus, describe the smell they would experience. Which is a rocky planet: Venus, Uranus, or Neptune?
The science of these objects becomes more apparent when we consider planetary rotation. For this reason, we use shorter sub-exposures so as not to capture blur as each planet rotates. 'De-rotation' software can be used in this situation, such as Winjupos to allow for greater exposure times...
Does this affect this calculation? Yes, but only by a small amount. The centrifugal forces caused by the Earth’s rotation along its axis cause an equatorial bulge and a polar flattening so that the radius of the Earth fluctuates by about 20 kilometers from pole to equator. This sounds ...
This is a depiction of how the Coriolis effect, due to Earth’s rotation, causes the motion of air to change its direction. (Photo Credit : VectorMine/Shutterstock) In the case of planets like Venus, where the rotation rate is slow (a day there lasts around 116 Earth days), the Coriol...
Cisco created EAP-FAST to replace LEAP. EAP-FAST uses a tunnel to provide mutual authentication like PEAP and EAP-TTLS. EAP-FAST does not have the server authenticate itself with a digital certificate. Instead, it uses a Protected Access Credential, which creates a one-time provisioning exchang...
of water as it freezes. Triton also orbits Neptune opposite to Neptune's rotation (retrograde) and with an extreme orbital inclination of 157 degrees. Because of this, scientists believe that Triton is a captured Kuiper Belt object, similar to Pluto (a theory which wouldn't have been possible...
rocky planets include mercury, venus, earth, and mars which are mostly made up of solid rock and metal. gas giants include jupiter, saturn, uranus, and neptune which are mostly made up of gases like hydrogen, helium, methane, etc. these planets are very large in comparison to the rocky ...
most of the planets in the solar system have an axis of rotation that is perpendicular to their orbital axis. some notable exceptions are venus (it is perpendicular but rotating in the opposite direction) and uranus. why are all the others mostly the same? they have the same orientation ...
Modeling protoplanetary systems requires a lot of coupled, high powered computers because one needs to model millions of tiny particles. These little particles collide (point masses don't collide), have angular momentum due to rotation (point masses don't have angular momentum due to rotation) ...
