It’s about three- fourths the size of earth. • The surface is rocky and very hot. The atmosphere completely hides the surface and traps the heat. • 2nd planet out from the sun. • It is covered by thick, rapidly spinning clouds. Due to its thick cloud layer reflecting sunlight, it is the brightest planet in the sky. • Temperature of the Venus is 450 °C. It’s hotter than Mercury due to the greenhouse effect. © 2014 Brilliant Classes by Piyush Venus © 2014 Brilliant Classes by Piyush Earth • Earth is the fifth largest planet and the third from the sun. • Liquid covers 71 percent of the Earth’s surface. • The Earth has one moon. • Size of Earth is 40,000km (24,8000miles) around at the equator. • General composition of Earth is Rocky material.

E-mail: [email protected] March 5, 2019 ABSTRACT We fit an isothermal oscillatory density model of Jupiter’s protoplanetary disk to the present-day Galilean and other nearby satellites and we determine the radial scale length of the disk, the equation of state and the central density of the primordial gas, and the rotational state of the Jovian nebula. Although the radial density profile of Jupiter’s disk was similar to that of the solar nebula, its rotational support against self-gravity was very low, a property that also guaranteed its long-term stability against self-gravity induced instabilities for millions of years.

  • The Moons of Jupiter – Orbital Synchrony 3

    The Moons of Jupiter – Orbital Synchrony 3

    The Moons of Jupiter – Orbital Synchrony 3 The figure above shows the orbits of many of Jupiter's numerous satellites. Each of these ‘moons’ orbits Jupiter in a different number of days. The image to the right shows the appearance of one of Jupiter’s moons Callisto. The orbit periods of many of the moons have simple relationships between them. When Jupiter’s moon Ganymede orbits 1/2 way around Jupiter, Jupiter's moon Europa orbits Jupiter once. When Jupiter’s moon Leda orbits Jupiter once, Ganymede orbits Jupiter 34 times. When Jupiter's moon Leda orbits Jupiter five times, the more distant moon Thelxinoe orbits Jupiter twice. When Leda orbits Jupiter three times, the moon Kalyke orbits Jupiter once. Example: 1/2 x Ganymede = 1 x Europa, so in the time it takes Europa to go once around Jupiter, Ganymede goes only ½ way around in its orbit. Problem 1 - How many times does Ganymede orbit Jupiter in the time it takes Europa to orbit six times? Problem 2 – How many times does Leda orbit Jupiter in the time it takes Ganymede to orbit Jupiter 6 times? Problem 3 - How many orbits will Thelxinoe have to complete around Jupiter before Kalyke orbits exactly five times? Space Math http://spacemath.gsfc.nasa.gov Answer Key 3 Problem 1 - How many times does Ganymede orbit Jupiter in the time it takes Europa to orbit six times? Answer: The information says that Europa orbits once when Ganymede orbits 1/2 times, so 1 x Europa = 1/2 x Ganymede and so 2 x Europa = 1 x Ganymede.

Gravitational capture can be used to explain the existence of the irregular satellites of giants planets. However, it is only the first step since the gravitational capture is temporary. Therefore, some kind of non-conservative effect is necessary to to turn the temporary capture into a permanent one. In the present work we study the effects of Jupiter mass growth for the permanent capture of retrograde satellites. An analysis of the zero velocity curves at the Lagrangian point L1 indicates that mass accretion provides an increase of the confinement region (delimited by the zero velocity curve, where particles cannot escape from the planet) favoring permanent captures. Adopting the restricted three-body problem, Sun-Jupiter-Particle, we performed numerical simulations backward in time considering the decrease of M . We considered initial conditions of the particles to be retrograde, at pericenter, in the region 100 R a 400 R and 0 e 0:5. The results give Jupiter’s mass at the X moment when the particle escapes from the planet.

Nesvorny3, 1Center for Astrophysics and Supercomputing, Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia [email protected], 2SETI Institute, Mountain View, California, USA, 3Southwest Research Institute, Department of Space Studies, Boulder, CO. USA. Introduction: Surrounding Jupiter there are multi- Results: ple satellites, 67 known to-date. The most recent classi- fication system [1,2], based on orbital characteristics, uses the largest member of the group as the name and example. The closest group to Jupiter is the prograde Amalthea group, 4 small satellites embedded in a ring system. Moving outwards there are the famous Galilean moons, Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto, whose mass is similar to terrestrial planets. The final and largest group, is that of the outer Irregular satel- lites. Those irregulars that show a prograde orbit are closest to Jupiter and have previously been classified into three families [2], the Themisto, Carpo and Hi- malia groups. The remainder of the irregular satellites show a retrograde orbit, counter to Jupiter's rotation. Based on similarities in semi-major axis (a), inclination (i) and eccentricity (e) these satellites have been grouped into families [1,2]. In order outward from Jupiter they are: Ananke family (a 2.13x107 km ; i 148.9o; e 0.24); Carme family (a 2.34x107 km ; i 164.9o; e 0.25) and the Pasiphae family (a 2:36x107 km ; i 151.4o; e 0.41). There are some irregular satellites, recently discovered in 2003 [3], 2010 [4] and 2011[5], that have yet to be named or officially classified.
