A Planetary Overview. A Planetary Overview Comparative Planetology. In this chapter we wish to look at the solar system as whole and compare the worlds to each other, seeking to understand their similarities and differences – comparative planetology

By JeffreySolar System Formation. This is a nebula. This is where stars are forming. . These are little solar nebulae!. Proto-sun and accretion disk. Accretion. Dus grains stick together through electricity to form planetessimals.
By nedra3-6 Asteroids. Jupiter. Asteroid belt. Earth. Asteroids: rocky or metallic. They contain little volatile (i.e. easily evaporated) material. Gaspara. Ida and its satellite Dactyl. Belt asteroids – by Galileo spacecraft. They differ from planets by their size.

By stuartHow did the Solar System form?. 3. What are the broad general characteristics or physical features of our Solar System and how do they illuminate Solar System formation?. How did the Solar System form?. 4. How did the terrestrial planets form and why is the Solar System differentiated? .
By RitaEART160 Planetary Sciences. Francis Nimmo. Last Week. Volcanism happens because of higher temperatures, reduced pressure or lowered solidus Conductive cooling time t = d 2 / k Planetary cooling leads to compression Elastic materials s = E e.
By katoThe Sun and the Origin of the Solar System. Mid-sized, G-type main sequence star Distance: 1 AU = 150 million km away Size: Actual radius 700,000 km = 100 Earths Temperature, Luminosity (surface) T = 6000 K http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/videogallery/index.html.
By ambroseOverview of the Solar System. The solar system consists of the Sun, eight known planets (+ Pluto!), many satellites of the planets, and a large number of interplanetary bodies (comets, asteroids, meteoroids, interplanetary dust particles)
By bobChapter 8 Formation of Planetary Systems Our Solar System and Beyond. Where did the solar system come from?. According to the nebular theory, our solar system formed from a giant cloud of interstellar gas. ( nebula = cloud). Evidence from Other Gas Clouds.
By woodsChapter 6 The Solar System: Comparative Planetology 1. Learning Goals. What is comparative planetology ? Describe the scale & structure of our solar sytem Summarize the basic differences between the terrestrial & jovian planets
By monifaEART160 Planetary Sciences. Francis Nimmo. Last Week - Volcanism. How and why are melts generated? Increase in mantle potential temperature; or Reduction in solidus temperature (e.g. water); or Thinning of the lithosphere How do melts ascend towards the surface?

By heaAdam Marth -Earth Science. Solar system formation. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed; Only Transformed. Claims the origin of the solar system came from a rotating cloud of interstellar gas (or a nebula) Believed to be remnants of dead star systems long before the birth of ours
By ilianaSolar System Formation. The processes by which stars and planets form are active areas of research in modern astrophysics The formation of our own solar system is central to the first half of our course, and important to the second half as well when we study the formation of stars.
