Planets

=Solar System= Find a picture of your planet and add it on this page. Then tell some facts about your planet. http://hubblesite.org/gallery/album/ http://pds.jpl.nasa.gov/planets/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planet http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets/index.cfm Uranus is the seventh planet from the sun. Uranus was the first planet to be discovered. William Herschal was the first one to formally discover Uranus.

-Saturn is the only planet of the Solar System that is less dense than water!!

Sophia and MaribethThe mass of the Earth is approximately 5.98×1024 kg. It is composed mostly of [|iron] (32.1%), oxygen (30.1%), [|silicon] (15.1%), [|magnesium] (13.9%), [|sulfur] (2.9%), [|nickel] (1.8%), [|calcium] (1.5%), and [|aluminium] (1.4%); with the remaining 1.2% consisting of trace amounts of other elements.

 * Saturn gets its name from Saturn, the Roman God of Agriculture
 * Saturn’s rings are visible from earth with even a small telescope
 * Winds on this planet can reach above 1,100 miles per hour
 * A Saturn day is only 10 Hours and 14 Minutes
 * Mars has a mass of 0.108 [Earth=1]
 * Neptune is the fourth gass giant in our solar system.

Uranus is the seventh planet from the sun and is the third largest in size.

This picture is an artist's rendition of a black hole. A black hole is a point of infinite density in Enstein's theorized spacetime. Spacetime is an interlocking fabric of space and time. This theoretical fabric is bent in the presence of matter, like a bowling ball on a rubber sheet. Black holes come into exsistance after a star uses up its hydrogen fuel and implodes in a massive explosion, known as a supernova. At this point the remnents of the star, along with its core, are so dense they break spacetime into a black hole. Some belive these holes are mirrored by others from our universe or others. Once linked, they form a universal shortcut known as a wormhole. Any matter sucked into a black hole is streached by tidal forces until it becomes thin and long. This process is known as spaghettification. Once spaghettified, the matter is burned to ashes by emmense energy. Periodically, the matter and energy is ejected from the poles of the black hole in jets. These jets can extend for millions of miles, before breaking up. -Griffen Price
