Life On Mars Washington D C
1,018 wordsIf life ever evolved on any of the other planets, Mars is the likeliest candidate. After Earth, Mars is the planet with the most hospitable climate in the solar system. So hospitable that it may once have inhabited primitive, bacteria-like life. Outflow channels and other geologic features provide extensive evidence that billions of years ago liquid water flowed on the surface of Mars. Continuing changes is an accomplishment in modern American technology and it gives the world a step forward in ...

Carbon Dioxide Greenhouse Effect
921 wordsVenus is the 2 nd closest planet to the Sun, and the closest planet to Earth. Venus can reach visual magnitudes (brightness) of - 4. 4, making it the brightest object in the night sky, excluding the moon. Venus was once considered Earth's twin, a swampy place with oceans and strange creatures were imagined. After sending probes such as Mariner, Pioneer Venus, Veteran (which landed on Venus), Vega, Magellan and Galileo, we know that Venus is the victim of a "run-away" greenhouse effect. Mars is t...

Plants And Animals Earths Rotation
849 wordsWhat is required for a planet to be able to support life? This is a question that people have been trying to answer for many years. Earth is a very unique planet because it is the only one proven to support life. Living organisms need certain things in order to survive that are not found on any other planet. Some of these life supporting features include food, water, atmosphere, temperature, rotation, gravity, surface and a moon. First, living things need a source of food. Energy is needed in or...

Life On Earth Liquid Water
1,175 wordsThe view of Christiaan Huygens, the Dutch mathematician and physicist who discovered Saturn's moon Titan in 1655, was as follows: Now can anyone look upon, and compare these systems (of Jupiter and Saturn) together, without being amazed at the vast magnitude and noble attendants of these two planets, in respect of this little pitiful Earth of ours? Or can they force themselves to think, that the wise Creator has disposed of all his animals and plants here, has furnished and adorned this spot onl...

Life Forms In Other Planets
843 wordsLIFE FORMS IN OTHER PLANETS? According to the Astrobiology Roadmap, a planet or planetary satellite is habitable if it can sustain life that originates there or if it sustains life that is carried to the object. The Astrobiology program seeks to expand our understanding of the most fundamental environmental requirements for habitability. There are requirements for habitability according to this website. It states that for living things to live, there must be regions of liquid water. This is an e...

Liquid Water Aquatic Life
655 wordsWhat would the world be like if solid water was denser than liquid water? Density is a property of matter. It is defined as the amount of material that fits in a given space. Denser objects are naturally heavier than objects that are less dense and of the same size. In the same manner that solid objects have density, liquids also have density. In that connection, water is denser than oil. If two objects of different densities come into contact, then the one that is less dense will float on it. T...

Surface Of The Water Hydrogen Bonds
984 wordsWater is the most important substance in our evolution and our daily lives. Without water, life as we know it would not have been possible. This essay will examine the water molecule in order to ascertain how it brought about Earths thriving ecosystem and how important it is to us today. Each water molecule consists of one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. The oxygen atom (or the apex of the water molecule) bears a slight electronegative charge while hydrogen possesses a more positive one 1 (f...

We have discovered organisms on the Earth that seem tenacious and tough almost to a fault; they thrive in the most seemingly adverse conditions imaginable, and organisms so fragile and specialized so as to exist in only the most isolated and pristine environments. With the kno...

Carbon Dioxide Organic Molecules
2,019 wordsemail: title: Mars Mars (planet), planet in the solar system, named for the Roman god of war. It is the fourth planet from the sun and the third in order of increasing mass. Mars has two small, heavily cratered moons, Phobos and Deimos, which some astronomers consider asteroid like objects captured by the planet very early in its history. Phobos is about 21 km (about 13 mi) across; Deimos, only about 12 km (about 7. 5 mi). Appearance from Earth When viewed without a telescope, Mars is a reddish ...
