happens when something moves towards or away from something else.
Cosmic Background Radiation
Cosmic Background Radiation is the radiation that is
everywhere is the universe. This radiation is the remnants of
the big bang. This radiation can only be seen with scientific
instruments.
Stars
Stars are a celestial body that emits its own light. They form inside clouds
of dust and gases. Then parts of the cloud start to collapse and form a
core. More and more dust and gas gets collected. The leftover material
from the stars formation become planets or stays as is. Nuclear fusion
occurs in the stars which is how the energy in stars form. Stars are
classified by size, age, color, luminosity, and temperature.
Solar System
The solar consist of the sun in the center and the eight planets revolving it. There are
two types of planets. Jovian planets and Terrestrial planets. The terrestrial planets
are the inner and smaller planets Venus, Mercury, Earth, and Mars. The Jovian planets
are the outer and larger planets Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus. The terrestrial
planets are rocky. The Jovian planets are gaseous. The asteroid belt divides the outer
and inner planets.
Accretion
Accretion is when dust particles accumulate together into a
celestial body by gravitational force.
Eccentricity
Eccentricity is the measure of how elliptical is the orbit of a
planet. When the the eccentricity is equal to 0, the shape of
the orbit of the planet is a circle..
