THE SOLAR SYSTEM
What is Meteor? What is the difference between Comet and Asteroid? How big is the Milky Way? Why is Pluto no longer a planet? And many more cool space information!
Let's take a fast rocket ride through the solar system at a constant speed of 1.000 km/h and find out how long it takes us to reach a certain planet. We start from planet Earth!
Did you know that Apollo 10 had the fastest ride from Moon to Earth at May 26th, 1969. at speed 39.897 km/h!
The fraction of the incoming solar energy scattered by planet back to space is referred to as the planetary albedo.
One of the reasons that Venus is so bright in the sky is because of its high albedo. This albedo comes from the permanent cloud layer that surround the planet.
