SPACE

The big question: If there is an infinite number of planets, then maybe planets can be born just like stars? If so will this affect our solar system?

SECONDARY QUESTIONS

• Why are the planets named after the roman gods?
• Why does the moon turn blue very rarely?
• Why is the earth just the right distance from the sun?
• How fast does the earth go around the sun?

WHY ARE THE PLANETS NAMED AFTER ROMAN GODS?

• The answer is that the ones who named the planets are the romans. So they named the planets they discovered after the gods because they respect the gods.
• Especially Jupiter.
• When modern scientists discovered more planets they just decided to follow tradition and name them after the gods.

WHY DOES THE MOON TURN BLUE VERY RARELY?

• When the moon turns blue it usually has to have a massive volcanic eruption, in Indonesia Krakatoa exploded with the power of a nuclear bomb, and afterwards the moon turned blue.
• It turned blue because of Krakatoa's ash, in that ash were partials about one micron wide,
• Particles this big scattered every where allowing blue to go through so the ash was a blue filter to the moon.

WHY IS THE EARTH JUST THE RIGHT DISTANCE FROM THE SUN?

• Is it an accident or a plan? That's the question no one knows the answer to.
• Some people think that it was a plan because how could it be just the right distance from the sun? Earth had a whole truckload of luck to be in the right distance of the sun.
• My hypothesis is that it was an accident, there weren't any life forms on earth to formulate that plan right?

HOW FAST DOES THE EARTH GO AROUND THE SUN

• The earth takes one year to complete one orbit (orbit means to go around the sun). But how fast?
• For the average planet that is our distance from the sun (93 million miles) the speed of that planet would be about 30 km per second.

NASA

• These are space shuttles are what they send to space (space ships is another way to say it)

NASA

• NASA's first launch was in July 1950 in Cape Canaveral. The shuttle was called the Bumper 2.
• The bumper 2 was a two stage rocket that topped a V2 missile base with a corporal rocket.
• When they first landed on the moon was in July 20 1969.

SPACE SHUTTLES

• This is a list of space shuttles they sent to the moon.
• Apollo 11
• Apollo 12
• Apollo 14
• Apollo 15

Time to answer the big question.

CAN PLANETS BE BORN?

• Well it turns out that planets can be born!
• How: When a cloud collapses and forms a star and disk, planets form from this disk.
• At the moment all we know that the type of cloud that has to collapse to form planets is a dust cloud and a gas cloud inside a big space cloud.
