Access the interactive titled “What’s Your Favorite Planet?” under the “Outer
Planets” terms section of the Science Corner. You can also view the interactive
at http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/space/favorite-planet.html.
Identify your favorite planet, Next, use the Internet or Strayer Library to
research articles regarding research and mission(s) that the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has made on the planet that you have
identified. Then, state the main reasons why the planet you have chosen is your
favorite. Discuss the mission(s) and research that the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA) has made to this planet, and explain the main
benefits that the mission / research has had on our understanding of both the
planet in question and the Earth.
Watch the video titled “Anatomy of the Sun” (3 min 21 sec) under The Sun
terms section of the Science Corner. You can also view the video at http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/labs/lab/sun/1/1/. Next, discuss
the main physical processes that occur in each layer of the sun. Then, analyze
the manner in which researchers use indirect methods to study these
layers.
Describe the cause and occurrence of the aurora borealis. Then explain why
this phenomenon is confined to high northern latitudes and what influences the
color of the aurora
Respond to statement
The main physical process that occurs in each layer of the sun is that is made
up of six layers. The suns core which is the nuclear reactor where the hydrogens
atom fuse to form helium.The process release energy making is the hottest part
of the sun. The core above the zone is the radiative zone energy that is
produce this core is radiated threw the core. The conductive zone is the layer
where the plasma carries energy from the suns interior to its surface.The
photosphere is smooth and calm the increase of spots in numbers. The researcher
study the chromosphere and the corona to understand what is going on with the
sun.
