exist beyond the sky? Have you ever wonder about the existence of life on other
planets other than Earth?
Do you ever think
of the things that are far away from us? Are you interested in knowing about
the wonderful things of this Universe- the Milky Way? If answer is yes, let’s
start exploring the Space.
So In this article
you will come to know about the Planets, the Stars, the Constellations and
Zodiacs.
Planets
We are having a total of 8 planets in
our Solar System. A
planet is a celestial body that is in orbit around the Sun, has cleared the
neighborhood around its orbit. Under this definition, Pluto is not a planet,
but has been deemed a dwarf planet because it has not yet cleared its
orbit.
Mercury is the smallest planet of which
Jupiter is the largest planet. Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun where
Neptune is the farthest planet from the Sun. On average Neptune is the coldest
planet whereas Venus is the hottest planet. Now here comes an interesting
question which comes to our mind.
Does Life Exist on Other Planets Like We Exist on Earth?
Existence of life on Earth is really a
wonderful thing of this Universe. Earth is unique in itself in many ways like
because of its climatic conditions and atmosphere; it made the existence of
life on Earth. Secondly, the Ozone layer which protects the Earth from harmful
UV (Ultra Violet) rays.
The distance from the Sun to the Earth
is almost accurate to maintain a sustainable temperature on Earth. Various
gases that are present in the atmosphere of Earth like Oxygen, Nitrogen,
Helium, Carbon dioxide, Hydrogen etc.
Since other planet does not have these
abilities so they lack in sustaining a life on them. But at the same time
scientists have found some evidences of water on the Mars. This made a note
that in coming time, life can be possible on it.
Stars
A star is a
luminous sphere of plasma held together by its own gravity. The nearest star to
Earth is the Sun. Many other stars are visible to the naked eye from Earth
during the night, appearing as a multitude of fixed luminous points in the sky
due to their immense distance from Earth.
Historically, the
most prominent stars were grouped into constellations and asterisms, the
brightest of which gained proper names. However, most of the stars in the
Universe, including all stars outside our galaxy, the Milky Way, are invisible
to the naked eye from Earth.
What Is the Death of a Star Called?
Stars generally
take millions of years to die but when they die they form a Supernova.
Supernova becomes when a high-mass star has no hydrogen left to burn then it
expands and forms a large red super giant, it destroys itself with high
explosion that we call a Supernova. This leads to the birth of other stars.
Constellations
and Zodiacs
A group of visible stars when forms a
perceived outline or pattern of animals, mythological person or creature or an
inanimate object on the celestial sphere then it called a constellation. There
are 88 officially recognized constellations in this Space.
