MARS Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and ranks as the seventh largest: Planet Profile orbit: 227,940,000 km (1.52 AU) from the Sun diameter: 6,794 km mass: 6.4219e23 kg History of Mars Mars (Greek: Ares) represents the god of War. The planet likely received this designation due to its reddish hue; Mars is often called the Red Planet. (An intriguing aside: the Roman deity Mars was initially a god of agriculture before being linked to the Greek Ares; advocates for colonizing and terraforming Mars might favor this connotation.) The name of the month March is derived from Mars. Garlic-shrimp-alfredo-pizza. Mars has been recognized since prehistoric eras. Naturally, it has been thoroughly examined using ground-based observatories. However, even the largest telescopes find Mars a challenging target, as it is simply too small. It remains a popular subject among science fiction authors as the most suitable location in the Solar System (besides Earth!) for human settlement. Unfortunat...

Planet Venus Facts: A Hot, Hellish & Volcanic Planet   Venus' atmosphere retains heat from the Sun, representing an extreme form of the greenhouse effect that also warms Earth. The temperatures on Venus are sufficiently high to melt lead. (Image: © NASA) Pasta-amatriciana. Venus, the second planet from the Sun, is named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty. This planet — the only one named after a female — may have been designated for the most beautiful deity in her pantheon due to its brightness among the five planets recognized by ancient astronomers. In ancient times, Venus was frequently perceived as two distinct stars, the evening star and the morning star — the ones that appeared first at sunset and sunrise, respectively. In Latin, they were known as Vesper and Lucifer. In Christian tradition, Lucifer, meaning "light-bringer," became associated with the name of Satan prior to his fall. Nevertheless, subsequent observations of Venus during the space ag...

Planet Mercury: Facts About the Planet Closest to the Sun Mercury is the closest planet to the sun. It orbits the sun faster than a variety of other planets, which is why the Romans named it after their swift messenger god. Turkey-stuffed-bell-peppers. MERCURY QUALITIES Due to its proximity to the sun, Mercury's surface temperature can reach a scorching 840 degrees Fahrenheit (450 degrees Celsius). However, since this planet lacks a significant atmosphere to retain heat, nighttime temperatures can drop to as low as -275 F (-170 C), resulting in a temperature variation of over 1,100 degrees F (600 degrees C), the most extreme in the solar system. Mercury is the smallest planet, being only slightly larger than Earth's moon. Because it has no substantial atmosphere to mitigate impacts, the planet's surface is marked with craters. Approximately 4 billion years ago, an asteroid about 60 miles (100 kilometers) wide struck Mercury with an impact equivalent to 1 trillion 1-meg...

Planet Mercury: Facts about the planet closest to the sun Mercury is the planet closest to the sun and therefore orbits the sun faster than any other planet, which is why the Romans named it after their fleet-footed messenger god.The Sumerians also knew Mercury for at least 5,000 years.  sedekah-ekstrem_20. According to a website associated with NASA's MESSENGER (Mercury Surface, Space Environment, Geochemistry and Ranging) mission, it was often associated with Nabu, the god of writing. Mercury has also been given different names due to its appearance as both a morning star and an evening star.However, Greek astronomers knew that the two names referred to the same body, and around 500 B.C.  He correctly believed that Mercury and Venus revolved around the sun, not the earth.Mercury is the second densest planet after Earth, with a giant metal core about 2,200 to 2,400 miles (3,600 to 3,800 kilometers) wide, or about 75 percent of the planet's diameter. In comparison, Mercury'...

Inter planetary Space Practically all the planetary group by volume has all the earmarks of being a vacant void. A long way from being nothingness, this vacuum of "room" includes the interplanetary medium. It incorporates different types of energy and somewhere around two material parts: interplanetary residue and interplanetary gas. Interplanetary residue comprises of minute strong particles.  Sedekah-ekstrem-tuai-polemik. Interplanetary gas is a dubious progression of gas and charged particles, generally protons and electrons - - plasma - - which stream from the Sun, called the sunlight based breeze. Sun oriented breeze outline The sun oriented breeze can be estimated by rocket, and it generally affects comet tails. It additionally quantifiably affects the movement of rocket. The speed of the sun powered breeze is around 400 kilometers (250 miles) each second nearby Earth's circle.  The place where the sunlight based breeze meets the interstellar medium, which is th...
