How do we know the atmosoheric composition, size, temperature, etc. of millions of other planets farther away from Earth?

August 25, 2021

When we look through a Kepler telescope. The size is determined by looking at the amount of light that passes through the front of a planetary star.It calculates the year by looking at the time differences that pass through itThen the atmospheres can be understood by looking at the spectrum of a planet as it…

GEODYNAMO

August 25, 2021

Is it enough for a planet to be in a habitable zone for life to exist? Any planet standing there would have to receive strong radiation from its parent star. It will eventually melt the planet’s atmosphere. (But the thick clouds on Venus reflect solar radiation, which is why they shine). The movement of molten…

galaxy -#2

August 25, 2021

Galaxies can be classified into three main types: elliptical, spiral, and irregular. Hubble’s morphological classification is a more detailed taxonomic method. Since the Hubble method classifies galaxies only on the basis of shape, it ignores the rate of star formation in Starburst galaxies and the number of active galaxies. Elliptical. (Elliptical galaxy) The Hubble taxonomy…
