The Solar System - Gordon College English Center
... A planet is a celestial object that orbits around a star. The force which holds the planet in orbit around its star is the force of gravity. Planets have round shape. It is so because of their own gravity that pulls them into a spherical shape. Planets differ from stars by not producing light by any ...

Assessing the Possibility of Biological Complexity on Other
... As the chemical composition of exoplanets becomes known, it should be factored in to any calculation purporting to predict biological complexity. Neither is information about liquids directly available for any exoplanet, though thermal data, either modeled or directly observed, can serve as a proxy ...

A Planetary Overview
... A dwarf planet is a celestial body that (a) is in orbit around the Sun, (b) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape, (c) has not cleared the neighborhood around its orbit, and (d) is not a satellite. All ...

This method derives from one of the insights of Einstein’s theory of general relativity: gravity bends space. We normally think of light as traveling in a straight line, but light rays become bent w ...
