Nuclear energy comes from the energy stored in the nucleus (core) of an atom. This energy is released through fission (splitting atoms) or fusion (merging of atoms to form a larger atom). The energy released can be used to generate…
The planet Jupiter, named after the Roman god (a derivative of the Greek god Zeus), is the largest of the Jovian Planets– also called the gas giant planets – and the fifth planet in our solar system. Astronomer Galileo Galilei’s…
When we look at all of the celestial bodies in our solar system, there are many distinctions and categories to decipher. The gas giants (or jovian planets) – Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune – are the largest, independently orbiting planets…
The Earth spins 360 degrees once every 24 hours. This rotation is responsible for the appearance of the sun “rising” in the East and “setting” in the West. The surface speed of the Earth’s rotation the poles is slower than…
The four inner planets — Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars — share several features in common. Astronomers call them “terrestrial planets” because they have solid, rocky surfaces roughly similar to desert and mountainous areas on the earth. The inner planets…
Terrestrial planets, gas giants, comets, moons, and asteroids number among the numerous types of heavenly bodies that make up our solar system. Planetesimals form when clumps of rock and matter start to congeal together; they are thought to be the…
The cell cycle is one of the many things that distinguishes eukaryotic cells from their simpler counterparts, prokaryotic cells. The phases of the cell cycle describe one complete journey from the point a cell is “born” (at the end of…
If a lighter is used to start a grill or a liquid is poured on charcoal to ignite it more quickly, chances are it contains butane. Butane is a flammable, colorless gas at room temperature and standard atmospheric pressure. However,…
In math, the associative and commutative properties are laws applied to addition and multiplication that always exist. The associative property states that you can re-group numbers and you will get the same answer, and the commutative property states that you…
Simply put, energy is the ability to do work, which is a physics term to describe moving objects with some force across some distance. There are several different forms of energy, and it can be transformed from one form to…
