Astrophysics

Astrophysics is the scientific discipline concerned with the events that are taking place on the grandest of stages; the universe. Questions about the formation and evolution of the planets, solar systems, stars, and galaxies found within the universe, as well as questions regarding black holes, cosmic rays, particle and nuclear astrophysics, nucleosynthesis, and magnetohydrodynamics should be directed here.

What are the fastest cooling planets?

The fastest cooling planets in our solar system are typically rocky planets with thin atmospheres, like Mercury and Mars. These planets lose heat more quickly due to their lack of insulating atmospheres, which allows them to cool down rapidly after being exposed to sunlight.

What scientific instrument helps astronomers find out about the solar system?

Although there are many instruments of significance, the scientific instrument which would have contributed most to the astronomical body of knowledge of objects both in and out of the solar system would be the telescope, dating back to when Galileo looked through one and saw that Jupiter had its own moons in the early 17th century. There are variants from which important data have been acquired, like the radio telescope, the solar telescope, and scopes adapted to x-ray or other frequencies outside the visible range; or using advanced techniques like interferometry to resolve difficult problems. Space-based telescopes have overcome some of the problems caused by atmospheric distortion of ground-based observation.

What planet has no moon and rotates from east to west?

Venus has no moon and evidences retrograde rotation from east to west (orbits "upside down", rotating the opposite direction to its orbit) - such that a Venusian observer might see the Sun rise in the west, and set in the east.

Who was the first scientist to propose that the sun is the center of the solar system?

Nicolaus Copernicus, after whom the Copernical model is named, advanced the idea of the heliocentrism in the middle 16th century, which is often regarded as the starting point for modern astronomy. There were earlier thinkers whose work did not survive or was not broadly accepted, such as Aristarchus of Samos who may have been first to seriously propose the Sun was at the solar system's center around the third century BC.

Can you use a solar powered portable heating system?

Yes, you can use a solar-powered portable heating system to generate heat in outdoor spaces, such as camping or during emergencies. These systems typically consist of solar panels that capture sunlight and convert it into electricity to power heating elements, providing a sustainable and environmentally friendly heating solution. Keep in mind that the effectiveness of the system may vary depending on the weather conditions and the amount of sunlight available.

When was Pluto reconized as a dwarf planet?

Pluto was categorized as a dwarf planet on August 24, 2006, when the IAU defined what a "planet" is in such a way as to no longer include Pluto. Before then, and since 1930, Pluto was considered a planet.

What planet is coverd by clouds?

Among the outer planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Nepture all have a more or less total cloud cover owing to their large outer gaseous envelope, although one might have to more clearly specify what constitutes a "cloud" - since Uranus in particular is relatively featureless. They are all believed to have a relatively small rocky core. In the inner planets, Venus has a constant cloud cover of sulphuric acid which prevents its rocky surface from being visible. Earth boasts clouds of water vapor; although clouds are constantly present they do not present a complete cover like some of the other planets.

There are over 1000 planets in your solar system?

Actually, there are only 8 recognized planets in our solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Additionally, there are five recognized dwarf planets: Pluto, Eris, Haumea, Makemake, and Ceres.

Black holes refer to?

black holes come from dead stars like our sun it may turn into one when they die they become really big then explode and some become into a black hole if not it becomes into a black or white dwarf

Are black holes and wormholes related?

Yes, there is a difference between a black hole and a dark hole. The black hole is that "monster of the universe" that is the remnants of a collapsed massive star. It is a place of extreme gravity, and gravity is so great that nothing, not even light, can escape. And because not even light can escape, it is "black" in there. It's a black hole. A dark hole is a term usually applied to something that is not illuminated well enough to see into, like a deep crater on the moon or another planet. This deep "hole" in the surface might be lit from the side, leaving the "inside" of it in darkness. The hole is "dark" inside, and we derive the name from that fact. No astronomer will apply the term "dark hole" to a black hole because of the differences.

Why is it possible for the sun to turn into a black hole?

First of all, let's look at the basics first. A black hole is made from supernovas of stars(death) The sun is big enough to make a black hole since it is one of the biggest stars in space. Now if the sun dies in a supernova (not going to happen) in a bout 2 to 10 billion years later the star's remains will group up and eventually make a black hole. The sun won't die in a supernova but it will burn out all of its fuel thus not able to hold its own gravitational pull

How does the idea of a Rotating disk in the nebular model explain certain observed celestial phenomena?

It is believed that a large cloud of dust and gas which rotated slowly, began to contract because gravitational forces. Rotation increased causing a bulge in the center. At its end stages the mass of gases that gathered in the center created the sun with the planets forming from the bulge.

How do you merge in lost planet 2?

This has been known to be a very difficult task, i advise you go on the campaign on: easy (Recommended not required) episode 4 the chapter of which is raining and dark, with the guardian akrids, you will need a partner, so invite 1 person to make things more simple, on the first stage you will need to activate all the data posts, once you have done so, get in a X-seed vs, (this is the vs that has very flattened sides and front and has a red dot on the front, it has wings and 2 legs, its an advanced version of a "Nina" vs (basic vs in pro-log 1) enter the vs, it also has optical camo by pressing (left thunb stick) + (X) once you have entered it, fight off the ospreys and enemy troops, make sure once the enemy's battle gage reaches "0" you are both in a X-SEED (Recommended you have both X-seeds just in case one gets destroyed later on) once you have finished the first part, repair your vs's and kill the 1st guardian akrid. (i also advise both players have mikes so you can communicate quickly and effectively), pass the first force Field and kill all the sentry's and snipers in the area, don't deactivate the second Field as it will release the 2nd guardian, take both of your X-Seeds and go to the far left of the control panel used to deactivate the force Field, kill the bleed vs and the other enemy's in there, once of you get in the cakti VS in the cave and one stay in the X-seed, (recommended you both have at least 5000 T-ENG). Stand the x-seed behind the cakti, both players press down both of the thumb sticks and push them outward like this ( <-- O O --> ) the X-seed should start to hover and the cakti should have 2 rods fold out the top, both players then press (B) to merge once merged both players Will receive an achievement. now i will take you through the specials, X-seed play press (Y) to change weapon fire and C shaped bullets will fly out of the cannon, Cakti player, press (Y) to change weapon, fire with [] L TRIGGER and [] R TRIGGER, to fire drill missile, now both players press and hold (X) for a massive laser cannon, witch wipes out everything in its path, except bosses, now if you want you can try out your "BROCAKTI" on the guardian akrid, i hope this guide helped you.

Planets do not collide into one another because?

Every planet has different size and is placed at different distance from the sun. The gravitational pull between the sun and the planet depends upon the distance and size of the planet and hence affects the speed of rotation and revolution of the planet around its own axes as well as around the sun. This specific distance and speed of revolution and rotation locks the planet in its orbit having specific radius which is unique for every planet. This is the reason they have separate path and speed to rotate around its own axes as well as around the sun. , hence they do not collide with each other.

What is study of the solar system called?

The study of the solar system is called astronomy. It involves observing, analyzing, and understanding the celestial bodies, including the sun, planets, moons, asteroids, and comets, that make up our solar system.

What is the closest visible star outside the solar system?

The binary system of Alpha Centauri has the closest stars to the Sun that are visible, at about 4.4 light years away, and appear as a single star - and probably gravitationally bound to that system, another star Proxima Centauri is still closer to us at about 4.2 light years, and is thus the closest star to our Sun but is not visible to the naked eye.

How is electronegativity connected to black holes?

Electronegativity is a measure of an atom's ability to attract electrons in a chemical bond. In the context of black holes, electronegativity is not directly connected. Black holes are massive objects with incredibly strong gravitational forces that can trap even light due to their immense densities, but they do not interact with atoms on the same scale as electronegativity.

These planets are similar to earth?

In our solar system, the inner four planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, are referred to as rocky, or terrestrial ("Earth-like").

Outside the solar system it is estimated as many as 40 billion planets in our galaxy alone would be similar to Earth.

Can black holes suck in people and rocket ships?

Black holes have such strong gravitational pull that they can theoretically pull in anything that gets too close, including people and rocket ships. However, the likelihood of a person or a rocket ship getting close enough to be pulled into a black hole is extremely low, as we are very far away from any known black holes.

How does the sun's heat get to planets far away?

Heat from the Sun travels through the vacuum of space in the form of electromagnetic radiation - primarily through infrared which has wavelengths longer than visible light; some of the visible light also gets converted to heat when it hits the planet (the darker the surface, the more pronounced this effect is).

How old is Kip Thorne?

Kip Thorne is 77 years old (birthdate: June 1, 1940).

What is harder quantum physics or astro physics?

Both quantum physics and astrophysics are complex fields of study, but they involve different levels of complexity. Quantum physics deals with the behavior of particles at microscopic scales, with phenomena such as superposition and entanglement. Astrophysics, on the other hand, involves understanding the vast scales of the universe and its structures, like galaxies and black holes. In terms of the mathematical rigor and abstract concepts involved, quantum physics is often considered more challenging.

What is the evidence of stars?

Because they are highly luminous, stars may be observed directly in visible light frequencies. One example is the Sun, which is close to Earth and can be examined easily in the daytime, for example with a helioscope.

Object that moves around the planet?

These are called satellites (which include rings and moons).
