Exponential law as a more compatible model to describe orbits of planetary systems
According to the Titus-Bode law, orbits of planets in the solar system obey a geometric progression. Many investigations have been launched to improve this law. In this paper, we apply square and exponential models to planets of solar system, moons of planets, and some extra solar systems, and compare them with each other.
متن کاملComets and the early solar system
© 2008 American Institute of Physics, S-0031-9228-0806-010-9 Active comets are fascinating ephemeral bodies that have both thrilled and terrified people for millennia. As a bonus, when Earth passes through a comet’s debris trail, we see a dazzling meteor shower. The phenomena of comets are spectacular, but what they can tell us about the early solar system is extraordinary. Comets are the best-...
متن کاملAsteroids, Comets, and Planet Formation
The solar system includes numerous small objects, generally classifiable as asteroids, comets, or interplanetary dust. Asteroids and comets are of considerable importance in the study of the terrestrial planets. The impacts of these bodies with the planets have repeatedly reshaped the planets' surfaces, redistributed the surface materials and changed their chemistry and mineralogy. In addition,...
متن کاملCameras a Million Miles Apart: Stereoscopic Imaging Potential with the Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes
The two most powerful optical/IR telescopes in history – NASA’s Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes – will be in space at the same time. We have a unique opportunity to leverage the 1.5 million kilometer separation between the two telescopic nodal points to obtain simultaneously captured stereoscopic images of asteroids, comets, moons and planets in our Solar System. Given the recent resurge...
متن کاملVolatiles Inventory to the Inner Planets Due to Small Bodies
Introduction. Comets and asteroids' chondrites are addressed as remnants of the outer planets formation. These small bodies are assumed to encapsulate the pri-mordial matter from which the planets were built up. Comets provide the link of our solar system with the Galaxy through influx inward the solar system due to tidal perturbation of the Oort cloud and by probing pristine material of the pr...
