PLANETS:.the planets of our solar system and the moon


Mercury.proper noun
the closest planet in our solar system to the Sun, Mercury is 81.37 million miles away from Earth and 36 million miles from the Sun.


Venus..proper noun
is 121.3 million miles away. Venus rotates clockwise and all the other planets in our solar system counterclockwise. Venus is the brightest object in the sky after the brightness of the Sun and Moon. It is only visible for 3 hours after sunrise and before sunset, that is, if you can see it then. Commander Thor is from Venus.


Earth..proper noun
is the fifth largest planet of our solar system. Its circumference is 24,902 miles (40,076 kms). Its diameter is about 8000 miles (exactly 7,926.41 miles). No one is sure exactly how the internal temperature in the Earth's core is generated and maintained., but we do know it's hollow and it's inhabited. See the gene Decode Deep Dives series on hollow Earth at https://www.genedecode.org

The fluid core of the Earth has a slightly different rate of rotation as compared to the mantle that surrounds it.

From the inside out, the Earth's inner core takes up 20% the distance to the surface or about 800 miles (1,300 kilometers). The outer core takes up another 1376 miles (2215 kms), the mantle, a thick layer of rock just below the crust, is about 1800 miles (2900 kms) and the crust, about 16 miles (25 kms). The temperature is about 870ºC (1600ºF) just underneath the crust.

Earth's speed is also interesing.


Mars..proper noun
next planet to Earth, Mars is 151.2 million miles away; uapress.arizona.edu and search for books on Mars


Jupiter..proper noun
The fifth planet from the Sun, 377 million miles away, the largest and most massive in the solar system, having a sidereal period of revolution about the Sun of 11.86 years at a mean (average) distance of 777 million kilometers (483 million miles), a mean diameter of approximately 138,000 kilometers (86,000 miles) and a mass approximately 318 times that of Earth.

No one is sure where Jupiter came from and how it got to where it is and why it is there, in that particular spot among the planets.

Levels of argon in Jupiter's atmosphere are not like those observed in comets. Comets were thought to be the building blocks for planets like these. "Probe measurements reveal that they are not the same."  ... Tobias Owens, physicist at the University of Hawaii. "The pattern in the Jupiter data is not what is seen in comets." ... Kevin Zahnie, NASA's Ames Research Centre in Moffet Field, California. A gas giant like Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.

Jupiter has many moons. Jupiter's largest and brightest moon, Ganymede, is double the size of Europa, one of the four brightest. It's orbital period is precisely synchronized to be twice that of Europa.

Jupiter makes sounds. Jupiter's Electromagnetic voices, music and the Solfeggio tones 528 Hz, 639Hz, 741Hz and 852 Hz. Type into YouTube. The complex interactions of charged electromagnetic particles from the solar wind, planetary magnetosphere etc. create vibrations / sound-scopes.

There are also Alpha brainwave entrainment at a rhythm of 8Hz at a phantom Solfeggio tone of 174Hz. To feel an extra spacey meditation effect; listen to this with stereo headphones.

Jupiter is mostly composed of hydrogen and helium. The entire planet is made of gas, with no solid surface under the atmosphere. The pressures and temperatures deep in Jupiter are so high, that gases form a gradual transition into liquids which in turn are gradually compressed into metallic 'plasma' where the molecules have been stripped of outer electrons. The winds of Jupiter are a thousand meters per second relative to the rotating interior.

Jupiter's magnetic field is four thousand times stronger than Earth's and is tipped by 11° degrees of axis spin. This causes the magnetic field to wobble, which has a profound effect on trapped electronically charged particles. This plasma of charged particles is accelerated beyond the magnetosphere of Jupiter to speeds of tens of thousands of kilometers per second. It is these magnetic particle vibrations which generate some of the sound you hear on recordings of Jupiter's sounds


Saturn..proper noun
The sixth planet from the Sun and the second largest in the solar system, having a sidereal period of revolution about the Sun of 29.5 years at a mean distance of about 1,425,000,000 kilometers (886,000,000 miles), a mean (average) diameter of approximately 119,000 kilometers (74,000 miles) and a mass 95 times that of Earth. A gas giant like Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune, it is 966.8 million miles from Earth. Saturn's tilt is cyclical and reaches maximum inclination every 15 years. The maximum tilt toward the Earth was in 2017, offering us the best views of the north polar region and the rings at their widest. Saturn is now beginning to tilt in the opposite direction, meaning the next time the rings are best seen will be in 2032, but we will only see the southern side of the rings and Saturn's polar region will not be visible from the Earth.

Uranus..proper noun
The seventh planet from the Sun, 1.8 billion miles away, revolving about it every 84.07 years at a distance of approximately 2,869 million kilometers (1,790 million miles), having a mean equatorial diameter of 52,290 kilometers (32,480 miles) and a mass 14.6 times that of Earth. A gas giant like Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune.


Neptune..proper noun
The planet 8th in order from the Sun, 2.7 billion miles away whose rings break the mold of Saturn, the 6th planet from the Sun. Neptune has a sidereal period of revolution around the sun of 164.8 years at a mean (averaged, intermediate) distance of 4.5 billion kilometers (2.8 billion miles), a mean radius of 24,000 kilometers (15,000 miles) and a mass 17.2 times that of Earth. A gas giant like Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus.


Pluto..proper noun
The 'planet' that no longer qualifies as a planet, because it doesn't have a hollow center. And, according to the 2006 IAU (International Astronomical Union) decision, for a celestial body to be a planet of the solar system, it must meet some conditions, such as, it must be in orbit around the Sun, have been molded by its own gravity into a round or nearly round shape, have cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit, meaning that its mass must be large enough for its gravity to have removed rocky and icy debris from its orbital vicinity. Pluto failed on the third requirement because it orbits partially within and is considered to be part of, the Kuiper belt. it was 9th in order from the Sun and 3 billion miles away. Pluto's orbital pattern is eccentric, different from planets in our solar system. During one complete revolution, the Pluto's distance from the Sun varies from 29.7 to 49.5 astronomical units (AU). Pluto navigates 8 AU above and 13 AU below the mean (average) plane of planets' orbits. 

Pluto is closer to the Sun than Neptune for two decades in its orbital stretch of 248 years. Pluto strangely and unlike highly unstable orbiting objects often crossing Neptune's path, which either eventually collide with Neptune or are hurled away from the solar system, Pluto's orbital journey is immune from these near by approaches to the Neptune gas giant. This is because of a remarkable phenomenon scientists call 'resonance libration' (slowed oscillation), Pluto's orbit is said to be in 3:2 resonance with Neptune's, that is, Pluto makes two trips around the sun during the time that Neptune takes three. The contingent motions of the two planets guarantee that when Pluto crosses the orbit of Neptune, it is at an always minimun safe distance of at least 17 AU.

The complex dynamics of orbital resonances produce both chaos and exceptional stability in the solar system.
