THE KNOWLEDGE OF SPACE

Jupiter Jupiter is the fifth planet from the sun and the largest planet in the solar system. It is more than twice massive as all the planets combined. The iconic Great Red Spot is a huge storm bigger than the earth. this planet actually does not have a true surface, instead of the land, it is made up of swelling gasses and colorful storms. Distance from sun: 778.5 million km Orbital period: 2 years Surface area: 61.42 billion km square  Mass:  1.898 × 10^27 kg (317.8 M⊕) Radius: 69,911 km Formation Jupiter was formed when the rest of the solar system formed about 4.5 billion years ago when the swelling gasses and dust were pulled by gravity and formed the gas giant. About 4 billion ago Jupiter settled into its current position and became the fifth planet from the sun.  Layer Jupiter actually does not have any layer inside as it is mostly made up of gas. Atmosphere The cold stripes and swirls with the windy clouds of ammonia and water are floating in the ...

Asteroid Belt The asteroid belt is a torus-shaped region in the solar system located between the orbit of Mars and Jupiter. This region contains a huge number of irregularly shaped bodies, of many sizes and shapes, they are smaller than the planets in the solars system,  they are called asteroids and are also known as minor planets. This was the main asteroid belt, there is another type of asteroid belt called trojan asteroids. The Trojan asteroids are located in the orbit of Jupiter. The irregular-shaped rocks are called the trojan planets. Formation These were formed with the rocks and clouds of dust which was left over the space floating here and there, but finally, about 4.4 billions years ago it was collected in region as there was a gravity balance that kept them in a fixed region. Facts 1) The asteroid belt was first discovered in 1801. 2) Some rocks are also made up of metals.  

  Mars It is the fourth planet from the sun, and it is a dusty, cold, desert world with a very thin atmosphere. Mars is also a dynamic planet with seasons, polar ice caps, extinct volcanoes, canyons, and more lots of evidence. It is one of the most explored bodies in our solar system. Two NASA rovers and one lander are currently exploring the surface of Mars (and a Chinese lander has successfully landed on Mars on 14th May 2021).  distance from the sun - 246,778,327 km (13.719401 light minutes ) 1 day = 24.6 hours 1 year = 687 days on earth planet type - terrestrial age - 4.603 billion years radius : 3,389 km average surface temperature : -60 degree celcius surface area : 144.8 million square km mass :    6.39 × 10^23 kg (0.107 M⊕) moons - 2 Formation The mars was formed 4.5 billion years ago with swelling gases and specks of dust to form the fourth planet from the sun. its size is almost like earth and like its fellow terrestrial planets with solid...
