Copy rights – www.SJJeyanth.yolasite.com 01.Our Solar system Earth is a part of the solar system; Solar system is a part of the Milky Way or Galaxy is a little part of Universe. Universe has a lot of million galaxies. A Galaxy has lot million suns or stares. Science of universe is called the Cosmology. Universe has an unknown boundary, Length in universe is calculated by light years or Astronomical unit, a light year is 9,460,528,405,000km and has a lot of things those are suns, planets, meteorites, gases, nebulas, asteroids, comets and smog. Notable Astronomers Claudius Ptolemy (A.C 140) Crick astronomer – “Sun and other planets are moving around the earth at the center”. Copper Nickels (A.C 1543) Poland astronomer – “Sun is center of universe, earth, planets, and other things of universe are moving around the sun, so he thought it solar system is equal to universe” Hershel (A.C 1805) English – “Galaxy is not only a solar system; it is milk way has a lot of millions solar systems” Edwin. B. Hubble (A.C 1925) – “Universe has a lot of million galaxies, and they are not in permanent possession, diverge in highest speed” Evolution of Universe Many theories explain the origin of the universe, but two theories are important to clear explanation. 1. Steady state 2. Big bang These said on base of Einstein’s relativity theory and mathematical methods. Steady state Steady state theory explains on base of balance, Hermann Bondi, Thomas Gold and Fred Hoyle stated about it. It is “universe has not beginning and end; state of universe in now was in always with universal things. Only if a star or galaxy disrobed, a new galaxy will make in universe to balance. Universe spreads but Quantity of universal things does not increase. Universal things diverge with spreading of universe in low density”. 1 Copy rights – www.SJJeyanth.yolasite.com Big bang Big bang theory is called the Evolutionary theory; many bodies accept it now. Ball of energy was with height density, height temperature and height pressure it is called the cosmic egg, and it had been made by without to natural. It was as a nebula in 8.0 billion years ago. Cosmic egg suddenly broken, it is big bang. Cosmic egg was as a tennis ball, the temperature 10 32 0 c was surrounding cosmic egg with height radiation. It had spread into height temperature and height radiation; there were Quarks, Anti Quarks, Leptons and Anti Leptons, those had been height radiation between them. Cosmic egg had been specific composed by quarks. Its boundary had been starting to decrease of temperature, Proton had been made by then it three quarks Leptons had changed as electron. Neutron had made then, proton and electron joined Low density atoms had made with simple iron molecules then protons and neutrons joined, they are helium, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen nucleus. 2 Copy rights – www.SJJeyanth.yolasite.com Molecular clouds had made in pre – nebula with nucleus Molecular clouds had rotation and it had looked as a disc, Protostar were in center of the molecular disc. Molecular clouds were surrounding the protostar, it is nebula. Molecular clouds had been got difficult accession by steller wind, molecular disc had been broken by steller wind, and they had been made as planets so the disc called it protoplanetary disc. Planets attracted gasses, smog and others for gravity.

Galaxy has surrounded nebula, nebula mean is “Clouds” in Latin. Our nearest galaxy is “Andromeda Galaxy” in 2million light years from our galaxy. Sun Figure-05-Galuxy Sun’s brightness is explained by scale magnitude. A lot of million stars are in the universe and stars age calculates by their colors for examples are Red star (3,000oc) – it is a baby, Orange star (4,000oc) – it is a child, Yellow star (6,000oc) – it is a young, White star (11,000oc) – it is a elder, Light blue( 25,000oc <) – it is a older. Our sun is yellow and its surface temperature is 6000oc and inter core temperature is 15,000,000oc. Sun is a ball of gasses, each second 700, 000,000 tones hydrogen change 695,000,000 tones helium. Height radiation make the Gama rays Inter core temperature transfer to surface it is convection. Sun has low density gasses those are hydrogen 73%, helium 25%, and other gasses are oxygen, carbon, nitrogen. Sun is 149,650,000km from earth. Sun is 99.8% in the solar system.

Composed mainly of silicates and metals, the inner solar system relatively close the sun, radius of this entire region is shorter than the distance between Jupiter and Saturn. The inner planets are left to right: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars the four inner or terrestrial planets have dense, rocky composition, few or no moons and no ring systems. They are composed largely of refractory minerals, such as the silicates which their crust and mantles, and metals such as iron and nickel which from their cores. Three of the four planets are Venus, Earth, and mars have atmosphere substantial enough to generate whether, all have impact craters and tectonics surface features such as rift valley and volcanoes, the term inner planets should not confused with inferior planets, inferior planets are closer to the Sun such as Mercury and Venus. Figure-14- Inner Planets Mercury Mercury is the closest planet to the sun and the smallest planet (0.555 Earth’s masses). Mercury hasn’t natural satellites, and it’s only known geological features besides impact craters are lobed ridges, probably produced by a period of construction early in its history. 9 Copy rights – www.SJJeyanth.yolasite.com Mercury’s almost negligible atmosphere consists of atoms blasted off its surface by the solar wind. It’s relatively large iron core thin mantle have not yet been adequately explained. Hypotheses include that its outer layers were stripped off by a giant impact and that it was prevented from fully accreting by the young Sun’s energy. Figure-15- Mercury Venus Venus is close in size to earth, (0.815Earth masses) and like earth, has a thick silicate mantle around an iron core, a substantial atmosphere and evidence of internal geological activity. However, it is much drier than earth and its atmosphere is ninety times as dense. Venus has no natural satellites. It is the hottest planet, with surface temperatures over 400oc, most likely due to the amount of green house gasses in the atmosphere. No definitive evidence of current geological activity has been detected on Venus, but it has no magnetic field that would prevent depletion of its substantial atmosphere, which suggests that its atmosphere, which suggests that its atmosphere is regularly replenished by volcanic Figure-16-Venus eruption. It has a anti revolving from other planets revolving. Earth Figure-17- Earth Earth is the largest and densest of the inner planets, the only one known to have current geological activity, and is the only place in the universe where life is known to exist. Its liquid hydrosphere is unique among the terrestrial planets, and it is also the only planet where planet where plate tectonics has been observed. Earth’s atmosphere is radically different from those of the other planets, having been altered by the presence of life to contain 21% free oxygen. It has one natural satellite, the moon, and the only large satellite of a terrestrial planet in the solar system. Mars Mars is smaller than Earth and Venus (0.107Earth masses). It possesses an atmosphere of mostly carbon dioxide with a surface pressure of 6.1mb (0.6%that of earth). Its surface, peppered Figure-18-Mars with vast volcanoes such as Olympus Mons and rift valleys such as valleys marine, shows geological activity that 10 Copy rights – www.SJJeyanth.yolasite.com may have persisted until as recently as 2 million years ago. Its red colour comes from iron oxide (rust) in its soil. Mars has two tiny natural satellites (Deimous and Phoebes) thought to be captured asteroids. Asteroid belt Asteroids are mostly small solar system bodies composed mainly of refractory rocky and metallic minerals. The main asteroid belt occupies the orbit between Mars and Jupiter, between 2.3 and 3.3 AU from the sun. It is thought to be remnants from the solar system’s formation that failed to coalesce of the gravitational interference of Jupiter. Asteroids range in size Figure-19-Asteroidbelt from hundreds meters across kilo to microscopic, All asteroids save the largest, Ceres, are classified Figure-20-Asteroid belt as small solar system bodies, but some asteroids such as Vista and Hygeia may be re classed as dwarf planets if they are shown to have achieved hydrostatic equilibrium. The asteroid belt contains tens of thousands, possibly millions, of objects over one kilo meters in diameter. Despite this, the total mass of the main belt is unlikely to be more than a 1000th of that of the Earth. The main belt is very sparsely populated; spacecraft routinely pass though without incident. Asteroids with diameters 10 and 10-4m are called meteoroids. Ceres Figure-21- Ceres Ceres (2.77AU) is the largest body in the asteroid belt and is classified as a dwarf planet. It has a diameter of slightly less than 1000km, and a mass large enough for its own gravity to pull it into a spherical shape. Ceres was considered in the 1850s as further observation revealed additional asteroids. It was again reclassified in 2006 as a dwarf planet. 11 Copy rights – www.SJJeyanth.yolasite.com Asteroids Groups Asteroids in the main belt are divided into asteroids groups and families based on their orbital characteristics. Asteroids moons are asteroids that orbit layer asteroids. They are not as clearly distinguished as planetary moons, sometimes being almost as large as their partners. The asteroid belt also contains main belt comets which may have been the source of Earth’s water. Trojan asteroids are located in either of Jupiter’s L4 or L5 Points (gravitationally stable regions leading and trailing a planet in its orbit): the term “Trojan” is also used for small bodies in any other planetary or satellite Lagrange point. Hilda asteroids are in a2:3 resonances with Jupiter, that is, they go around the sun three times for every two Jupiter orbits Figure-22- Asteroid The inner Solar system is also dusted with rogue asteroids, many of which cross the orbits of the inner planets. Outer Solar system The outer region of the solar system is home to the gas giants and their large moons. Many short period comets, including the centaurs, also orbit in this region. Due to their greater distance from the sun, the solid objects in the outer solar system are composed of a higher proportion of ices (such as water, ammonia, methane, often called ices in planetary science) than the rocky denizens of the inner solar system, as the colder temperatures allow these compounds to remain solid. The four outer planets, or gas giants (sometimes called Jovian planets), collectively make up 99 percent of the mass known to orbit the sun. Jupiter and Saturn consist overwhelmingly of hydrogen and helium; Uranus and Neptune possess a greater proportion of ices in their makeup. Some astronomers suggest they belong in their own category, “Ice giants”. All four gas giants have rings, although only Saturn’s ring system is easily observed form Earth. The term outer planet should not be confused with superior planet, which designates planets outside Earth’s orbit and thus includes both the outer planets and Mars. Figure-23- Outer solar system 12 Copy rights – www.SJJeyanth.yolasite.com Jupiter Jupiter at 318 Earth masses is 2.5 times all mass of all the other planets put together. It is composed largely of hydrogen and helium. Jupiter’s strong internal heat creates a number of semipermanent features in its atmosphere, such as cloud bands and the Great Red Spot. Jupiter has 63 known satellites. The four largest, Ganymede, Callisto, Io, and Europa, show similarities to the Figure-24- Jupiter terrestrial planets, such as volcanism and internal heating. Ganymede, the largest satellite in the solar system, is larger than mercury. Saturn Saturn distinguished by its extensive ring system, has several similarities to Jupiter, such as its atmospheric composition and magnetosphere. Although Saturn has 60% of Jupiter’s volume, it is less than third as massive, at 95 Earth masses, making it the least dense planet in the solar system. Saturn has 62 confirmed satellites, two of which, Titan and Enceladus, show signs of geological activity, though they are largely made of ice. Figure-25- Saturn Titan is larger than mercury and the only satellite in the solar system with a substantial atmosphere. Uranus Uranus at 14 Earth masses is the lightest of the outer planets. Uniquely among the planets, it orbits the Sun on its side, its axial tilt is over ninety degrees to the ecliptic, it has a much colder core than the other gas giants, and radiates very little heat into space. Uranus has 27 known satellites, the largest ones being Titania, Oberon, Umbriel, Ariel and Miranda. Figure- 25- Uranus 13 Copy rights – www.SJJeyanth.yolasite.com Neptune Neptune though slightly smaller than Uranus, is more massive equivalent to 17 Earth’s and therefore more dense. It radiates more internal heat, but not as much as Jupiter or Saturn. Neptune has 13 known satellites. The largest Triton is geologically active, with geysers of liquid nitrogen. Triton is the only large satellite with a retrograde orbit. Neptune is accompanied in its orbit by a number of minor planets, termed Neptune Trojans that are in 1:1 Figure -26- Neptune resonance with it. Comets Comets are small solar system bodies, typically only a few kilometers across, composed largely volatile ices. They have highly eccentric orbits, generally a perihelion within the orbits of the inner planets and an aphelion far beyond Pluto. When a comet enters the inner solar system, its proximity to the sun causes its icy surface to sublimate and ionize, creating a coma: a long tail of gas and dust often visible to the naked eye. Short – period comet have orbits lasting less than two hundred years. Long – period comets are believed to originate in the Kuiper – belt, while long – period comets, such as Hale – Bopp, are believed to originate in the Oort cloud. Many comets groups, such as the Kretz Sungrezers, formed from the breakup of a single parent. Some comets with hyperbolic orbits may Figure-27- Comets originate outside the solar system, but determining their precise orbits are difficult. Old comets that have had most of their volatiles driven out by solar warming are often categorized as asteroids. Kuiper belt The Kuiper belt, the region’s first formation, is a great ring of debris similar to the asteroid belt, but composed mainly of ice. It extends between 30 and 50 AU from the sun. it is composed mainly of small solar system bodies, but many of the largest kuiper belt objects, such as Quaoar, Varuna, and Orcus, may be reclassified as dwarf planets. There are estimated to be over 100,000 Kuiper belt objects with a diameter greater than 50km, but the total mass of the kuiper belt is thought to be only a tenth or even a hundredth the mass of the earth. 14 Copy rights – www.SJJeyanth.yolasite.com Many kuiper belt objects have multiple satellite and most have orbits that take then outside the plane of the ecliptic. Figure-28- Kuiper belt Pluto and Charon Pluto is at 39AU, a drawf planet, is the largest known object in the kuiper belt.when discovered in 1930, it was considered to be the ninth planet, this changed in 2006 with the adoption of a formal definition of planet. Pluto has a relatively eccentric orbit inclined 17 degrees to the ecliptic plane and ranging from 29.7AU from the sun at perihelion (within the orbit of Neptune) to 49.5AU at aphelion. It is unclear whether Charon, Pluto’s largest moon, will continue to be classified as such or as a dwarf planet itself. Both Pluto and Charon orbit a barycenter of gravity above their surfaces, making Pluto – Charon a binary system. Two much smaller moons, Nix and Hydra, orbit Pluto and Charon. Figure-29-Pluto and Charon Pluto has a 3:2 resonance with Neptune, meaning that Pluto orbits twice round the sun for every three Neptunian orbits. Kuiper belt objects whose orbits share this resonance are called Plutinos. Introduction of Earth Earth is the 3rd planet from the sun at a distance of about 150million kilometers (9302miles). It takes 365.256days for the travel around the sun and 23.9345hours for the Earth rotate a complete revolution. It has a diameter of about 12,756kilometers, but the diameter of equator is 12,757km and diameter of polar is 12,714km so Earth is not a correctly ball. It is only a few hundred kilometers large than that of Venus. Our atmosphere is composed of 78 % nitrogen, 21 % oxygen and 1% other constituents. Earth is the only planet in the solar system known harbor life. Our planet’s rapid spin and molten nickel-iron core give rise to an extensive magnetic field, which along with the atmosphere, shields us from nearly all of the harmful radiation coming from the sun and other stars. Earth’s atmosphere protects us from meteors, most of which burn up before they can strike the surface. 15 Copy rights – www.SJJeyanth.yolasite.com 5.976e+24 Mass (kg) 1.0000e+00 Mass (Earth = 1) 6,378.14 Equatorial radius (km) 1.0000e+00 Equatorial radius (Earth = 1) 5.515 Mean density (gm/cm^3) 149,600,000 Mean distance from the Sun (km) 1.0000 Mean distance from the Sun (Earth = 1) 0.99727 Rotational period (days) 23.9345 Rotational period (hours) 365.256 Orbital period (days) 29.79 Mean orbital velocity (km/sec) 0.0167 Orbital eccentricity 23.45 Tilt of axis (degrees) 0.000 Orbital inclination (degrees) 11.18 Equatorial escape velocity (km/sec) 9.78 Equatorial surface gravity (m/sec^2) 37 Visual geometric albedo(%) 15°C Mean surface temperature 1.013 Atmospheric pressure (bars) Atmospheric composition 77% Nitrogen 21% Oxygen 2% Other Earth’s Rotation The term Earth rotation refers to the spinning of our planet on its axis. Because of rotation, the earth’s surface moves at the equator at a speed of about 467m/s or slightly over hour. If you could looked down at the Earth’s South Pole from space you would notice that the direction of rotation is counter- clock wise, the opposite is true if the Earth is viewed from the North Pole. One rotation takes exactly – four hours and is called a mean solar day. The Earth’s rotation is responsible for the daily cycles of the day and night. At any one moment in time, one half of the Earth is in sunlight, while the other half is in darkness. The edge dividing the daylight from night is called the circle of illumination. The earth’s rotation also creates the apparent movement of the sun across the horizon. Figure -30- Pole rotation 16 Copy rights – www.SJJeyanth.yolasite.com Figure -31- Earth’s rotation Earth’s Revolution The orbit of earth around the sun is called an Earth revolution. This celestial motion takes 365.26daysto complete one cycle. Further, the Earth’s orbit around the sun is not circular, but oval or elliptical. An elliptical orbit causes the Earth’s distance from the sun to vary over a year. Yet, this phenomenon is not responsible for the earth’s seasons! This variation in the distance from the sun causes the amount of solar radiation received by the Earth to annually vary by about 6% (Figure-32) illustrates the positions in the Earth’s revolution where it is closest and farthest from the sun. On January 3, perihelion, the earth is closest to the sun. Earth is farthest from the sun on July 4, or aphelion (152.1million km). The average distance of the Earth from the Sun over a one-year period is about 149.6 million km. Figure -32- Earth’ Revolution The ecliptic plane can be defined as two-dimensional flat surface that surface that geometrically intersects the Earth’s orbital path around the sun. On this plane, the Earth’s axis is not at right angles to this surface, but inclined at an angle of about 23.5o from the perpendicular. (Figure-33) shows a side view of the Earth in its orbit about the Sun on four 17 Copy rights – www.SJJeyanth.yolasite.com important dates: June solstice, September equinox, December solstice, and March equinox. Note that the angle of the Earth’s axis in relation to the ecliptic plane and the North Star on these four dates remains unchanged. Yet, the relative position of the Earth’s axis to the sun does change during this cycle. This circumstance is responsible for the annual changes in the height of the sun above the horizon. It also cause the seasons, by controlling the intensity and duration of sunlight received by locations on the Earth. (Figure-33) shows an overhead view of this same phenomenon. In this view, we can see how the circle of illumination is tangent to the Arctic Circle is in 24 hours of darkness during the December sostice. Firgure-33- Earth revolution and seasons Figure-33: Annual change in the position of the Earth in its revolution around the Sun. In this graphic, we are viewing the Earth from a position in space that is above the North Pole at the summer solstice, the winter solstice, and the two equinoxes. Note how the position of the North Pole on the Earth’s surface does not change. However, its position relative to the Sun does change and this shift is responsible for the seasons. The red circle on each of the Earths represents the Arctic Circle (66.5o N) .during the June solstice the area above the Arctic Circle is experiencing 24 hours of daylight because the North pole is tilted 23.5o away from the sun in the December solstice. During the two equinoxes, the circle of illumination cuts through the polar axis and all locations on the Earth experience 12 hours of day and night. Seasons are appropriate only for the Northern Hemisphere. On June 21 or 22 the Earth is positioned in its orbit so that the North Pole is learning 23.5 toward the Sun causes the Sun (Figure-34). During the June solstice also called the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, all locations north of the equator have day o 18 Copy rights – www.SJJeyanth.yolasite.com lengths greater than twelve hours. On December 21 or 22 the Earth is positioned so that the South Pole is leaning 23.5o toward the sun. During the December solstice also called the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, all locations north of the equator have day lengths less than twelve hours, while all locations south of the equator have lengths exceeding twelve hours. Figure-34- Solstices During the June solstice the Earth’s North Pole is tilted 23.5o towards the sun relative to the circle of illumination. This phenomenon keeps all places above a latitude of 66.5o N in 24 hours of sunlight, while locations below a latitude of 66.5oS are in darkness. The North Pole is tilted 23.5o away from the Figure-35-Summer Sun relative to the circle of illumination during the December solstice. On this date, all places above latitude of 66.5o N are now in darkness, while location below latitude of 66.5o S Figure-36-Winter receive 24 hours of daylight. On September 22 or 23, also called the autumnal equinox in the Northern Hemisphere, neither pole is tilted toward or away from the Sun (Figure-37). In the Northern Hemisphere, March 20 or 21 marks the arrival of the vernal equinox or spring when once again the Poles are not tilted toward or away from the Sun. Day lengths on both of these days, regardless of latitude, are exactly 12 hours. 19 Copy rights – www.SJJeyanth.yolasite.com Figure-37-Equinox During the equinoxes, the axis of the Earth is not tilted toward or away from the Sun and the circle of illumination cuts through the poles. This situation does not suggest that the 23.5o tilt of the Earth no longer exists. The vantage point of this graphic show that the Earth’s axis is inclined 23.5o toward the viewer for both dates (Figure-37). The red circle has shown in the graphic are the Arctic Circle.
