heliocentric geocentric
what is Heliocentric model
the sun in the middle of the solar system
what is the planet where there is life on it
Earth
What is a comet
a rock that is covered in watery ice and melts when close to the sun also called a dirty snowball
what is gravity
the fundamental force of attraction that pulls any two objects with mass or energy toward each other
How does Earth's distance and orbit from the Sun influence its climate and seasons
As Earth orbits the Sun, the hemisphere tilted toward the Sun receives more direct sunlight, resulting in warmer temperatures and summer, while the opposite hemisphere experiences winter.
what is geocentric model
when the earth is in the middle of the solar system
what planet is being explored for life
Mars
what is a asteroid
what is inertia
Inertia is the tendency of a physical object to resist any change in its state of motion. or keeps the planets in orbit also.
What unique celestial factors, such as its location in the Milky Way, help protect Earth?
The solar system's position in the Milky Way, approximately 26,000 light-years from the galactic center, is located within a relatively safe region called the galactic habitable zone. This offers protection from several high-energy cosmic dangers.
who believed in the Heliocentric model
Galileo Galilei, and Nick Caparnicus
which planet has a tilted axis
Uranus
what is a meteor
when a meteoroid is burning up in Earth's atmosphere
inertia keeps the planets in
orbit
Is Earth a unique planet, or are there other planets with similar characteristics that could support life
Earth is currently the only known planet to support life, making it unique in that regard, though scientists have found many exoplanets in their stars' "habitable zones"
who believed in the geocentric model
ptolemy, and plato
which planet is called Earth's twin
Venus
what is a meteorite
when a meteor hits earths surface
floating away
How does Earth's movement within the solar system compare to the movements of other planets and celestial bodies?.
like other planets, it orbits the Sun in a roughly flat, elliptical path and rotates on its axis, but its specific orbital speed, rotation period, and rotational direction (excluding Venus and Uranus) are distinct
what is the solar system heliocentric or geocentric
heliocentric
which planet has a big red sport or big red storm
Jupiter
what is a meteoroid
a rock that's bigger than a grain of sand but smaller than a asteroid
how does gravity impact space travel beyond earths atmosphere
gravity primarily influences space travel by holding spacecraft in orbit, keeping them from flying off into space, and requiring high speeds to escape a planet's gravitational pull.
How does Earth's distance from the Sun impact its temperature and ability to sustain life?
Earth's distance from the Sun determines its temperature within the habitable zone, where conditions are right for liquid water to exist
