The moon

The moon is the most important desire of each amateur. The additional and superior we appreciate it, the additional we desire to identify. Its closeness make us look elder than it is, and moving quickly across the sky, where it actually runs about 12 ° per day, or about half a degree per hour (its apparent diameter).

It appears that, the unfruitful planetary shell has not changed during history known to guy because if we compare the first known maps with today, however elementary they may be does not differ in their details.

Inner symphony of the Earth

Internal Structure of the Earth. Thanks to the seismically, we know how to be the interior of our planet, the core at its center, consists especially of iron possibly solid, liquid outer core would, and then the mantle would happen a thin crust.

Fascinating structure of a typhoon seen and photographed from space by the crew of the Space Shuttle. In this extraordinary image of an event in Earth's atmosphere as comparable to that of a galaxy, Typhoon Odessa shows his eye despite being scary, fascinating.

The Earth: A water planet?

The Earth is the planet of our solar system where almost 70% of it is covered by water that makes up the oceans. This is due to the combination of the profusion of the chemical in the solar system, hydrogen, which is the most abundant element in the universe and oxygen, one of the most common in nuclear reactions that occur within the stars. To this is added that the atmosphere created in the surface conditions temperature and pressure close to the triple point of water,

The Earth

Earth is the third planet in our solar system, fortunate place in the solar system we inhabit. Ours is the only planet in the solar system, enclosed regularly by water, as well as being the only one with an atmosphere is mostly nitrogen and oxygen. His temperature various life suitable for the way we see it, range from -50 ° C to 50 ° C, with an average 22 º C. Water has created a system of movement and erosion unique in the solar system. The planet we populate is a rarity that still cannot find a similar model or in our solar system or other systems that are discovered, so far, which appear unapproachable.

Venus

The second planet Venus in our solar system is the closest to Earth in accumulation and dimension, is nearly round, no substantial destruction. It is the brightest star in the sky after the Sun and the Moon. It is visible after sunset or before departure at no great distance from it, why is only visible during the first hours after sunrise and evening star, or during the last hours before the sunrise as morning star.

The outside of Venus is a real hell, enclosed by a thick fatal cloud cover; temperature is 500 º C, organism responsible greenhouse. This defines it as the planet with the highest temperature of the solar system and also the most volcanic.

Mercury

The second smallest planet Mercury in the Solar system following Pluto (no more Pluto creature a planet, Mercury become smaller) and also the least thick of the four rocky worlds close to the Sun are grouped in the classification of the planets land called by its composition. It follows through respect by Mariner 10, NASA; the center of Mercury was melted by the lava that flowed to the surface, in addition, Mariner found a weak magnetic field. To the knowledge acquired, it is believed that the magnetic fields remain even if the interior part is melted.

Our Sun

Every feature of the outline image ground magnetic structure. The hottest areas appear almost white, while the darker red areas indicate cooler temperatures. The Sun is the nearest star to Earth, is who has made life possible on our planet. It belongs to the classification of spectral class G2 dwarf (intermediate), has a special feature that differentiates it from a multitude of stars that populate our Milky Way Galaxy.
