The truth is that nobody as yet knows. Jupiter is by far the largest planet in our solar system (some 1100 times bigger than Earth by volume) and is designated a 'gas giant'. This means that its atmosphere is hundreds (if not thousands)  of kilometres deep, and probes which have been launched into it, such as … Read more

The total perimeter of 300 yards is comprised of 2 x Length and 2 x Width. Thus 1 x Length + 1 x Width = 300 / 2 = 150 yards. If Length = 2 x Width, then the ratio of length to width is 2 : 1 2 + 1 = 3 Divide 150 … Read more

Satellite is really just another name for moon, so our moon, and all other moons in orbit around planets, are called natural satellites. Artificial satellites are those man-made objects which we launch into space for a variety of purposes (communications, weather forecasting, navigation, surveillance etc) and like the moon, go into orbit around the Earth, … Read more

For most practical purposes, we can regard the Moon as being in orbit around the Earth, but in actuality, the two bodies revolve around their common centre of gravity. As the Earth's gravitational pull is 6 times greater, naturally this point lies well inside the Earth, but nonetheless it does mean tht the moon impartsRead more
