Warning Jupiter is Coming

Warning were talking about Jupiter! Since ScienceCat kicked me out (cough cough) you stink. Anyway my amazing class is here today and were going to talk about Jupiter. Emma the Meap: Jupiter is so majestic! Anyway moving on. Were going to talk about how it got it's name.

How it got it's name

How did Jupiter get it's name? Scientific Meap: Well this is how Jupiter got the name Jupiter.  Jupiter is a majestic amazing roman god who was the god of sky and thunder.  Meap: Don't forget he is the king of gods! Scientific Meap: Right Right I know.  Anyway.  Meap: But how did Jupiter get it's name that's the whole point. Scientific Meap: okay. Well the reason they picked the name Jupiter is because it's all big and "mighty" and so Jupiter is all big and "mighty" so they gave it that name. Get it? Meap: Got it. Scientific Meap and Meap: Let's move on!

Charaistics of Jupiter

 

Now ScienceCat will you tell me what are some charismatics about the majestic Jupiter. 

 

1. 620 miles deep
2.  made of hydrogen and helium with little  amounts of methane, water, ammonia, and hydrogen sulfide.
3. Ganymede is the largest moon
4. Europa's surface is mostly ice
5. Europa is thought to have twice as much water as does Earth.
6. Scientists now think that this constant rising, surfacing and coating of the crust by liquid water allows plenty of oxygen to pass into the oceans.
7. That's all.

 

 

 

Here is a list of some of Jupiter's many moons

                                                                                                   

 

 

                  

 

1. Io 2. Europa 3. Ganymede 4. Callisto 5. Amalthea 6. Himalia 7. Elara 8. Pasiphae 9. Sinope        Lysithea       10 Ananke 13. Leda 14. Thebe 15. Adrastea 16. Metis 17. Callirrhoe 18. Themisto 19.

                               Red Giant Spot


What is the red giant spot exactly? Well this may be suprising but it's a big huge storm that has been going on for more than 300 years probly before Adam and Eve. Three  earths or more can fit in the big giant red spot.Thats suprising because it's so small. Just kidding anyway.  It's rotation ( the spot's) is counterclockwise. There are so many more things to talk about but this blog is about Jupiter not the giant spot. Let's move on.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Differences

 

 

What are Jupiter's differences with the inner planets exactly well let's see...

 

1. Jupiter is made out of gas.
2.  called terrestrial planets because they have a solid surface and are similar to Earth
3. one of the densest planest.
4. Has the most moons
5. so mch more

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Insteresting facts on Jupiter

 

 

Here are some insteresting facts on jupiter

 

1.  Jupiter can’t ever become a star
2.  Jupiter is the fastest spinning planet in the Solar System
3. The Clouds on Jupiter are only 50 km thick
4. Jupiter’s magnetic field is 14 times as strong as Earth
5. Jupiter has rings

Comets, Asteroids, and Meteors

Hello everyone we are going to talk about Comets, Asteroids, and Meteors! Let's talk about comets first. 

https://mrbarlow.wordpress.com/2010/02/18/a-10-million-mile-long-tail/

It's so cool I might faint! This tail is so long it's 10,000 miles long

   First let's talk about what a comets look like.  They are called the dirty snow ball because their made out of ice, dust and carbon. They have a tail obviously a nucleus and the head.  The head is made up out of you know dirt and all the other stuff.  The tail is made of gas. The gas comes when sublimation.  What is sublimation Emma the Meap? Well Meap sublimation is a process of when a solid turns into a gas. That is fascinating!

   How do comets change when they come close to the sun Amisha? The tail wold become visible and the tail would be point away from the sun because of solar wind.  As the comet got closer to the sun the comet would melt and melt and the closer it gets the faster the melting gos on.  So it would just melt right Amisha? Yes it would Meap. OK well we have to move on.

Asteroids

Let's talk about asteroids now.  Asteroids are basically flying rocks in space. No just kidding the are way more complicated than just flying rocks in space.  Let's not get into that it's to long and complicated. Instead, let's talk about how asteroids and comets are different. 

This is how they are different:

1. comets have tails asteroids don't
2. Comets orbit as one 
3. Asteroids orbit as an asteroid belt
4. And so many more!

We are going to move on know let's move on!

Meteors 

 We are going to talk about meteors now.  Meteors are also flying rocks in the sky. Why do I keep saying that? Well as I said before it is way more complicated that that. Just flying rocks in space( mocking tone) Yeah right. Well we are not going into all that science and learning and stuff. Where going to learn what a meteor shower is!  Well a meteor shower is when meteors fall from the sky and wow that wasn't complicated at all. Let's talk how all of them are different in their own way.

This is how they are different:

1. Comets have tails the others do not
2. Asteroids can have tiny asteroids revolving around them.
3.  And so many more!

Why should Scientist Keep studying Comets?

Why should they keep studying comets Science Cat?  Well Meap what if there is an comet and it's coming for us and we stopped studying them and it was about to hit how would be ready! That's a good point. And they can unlock our past. That's another good point.  So let me get this straight if the scientist stopped studying the comets we could get hit and we would never know how we got here? Yes you have it right. Then I should tell the Astronomers to start studing agian. I'll be right back.

Intresting Facts! :D





 Asteroids- Asteroids and planets share a common birth.  There are C,D,S, and V class asteroids.  Most asteroids are covered in dust.  An asteroid may have killed the dinosaurs.

Comets- comets may of brought life to earth. comets have 2 tails not one. comet left overs create meteor showers.Comets have been extinct.

Meteors-. It is illegal to buy or sell meteorites in South Africa.   A meteorite smaller than 2mm in diameter is called a micrometeorite.  Around 500 meteorites are thought to reach the Earth’s surface every year but only five or six of those are recovered for scientists to study.
