Asteroids are posing a major threat to the Earth these days. These are small rocky pieces that revolve around the Sun. These are much smaller than the planets. According to NASA, they have been in existence since our solar system was formed 4.6 billion years ago. A large number of asteroids are floating in our…
Earth has recently encountered an asteroid the size of a river bridge. These rocky calamities coming close to the earth sometimes worry scientists. If the asteroid changes its direction and its focus is towards the Earth, then it is a troublesome thing. There can be major devastation if an asteroid hits the Earth. Today i.e….
Astronomical objects like stars, planets, satellites, asteroids and meteors are present in space. Apart from the 8 planets of our solar system, a large number of asteroids are also present in it. According to NASA, more than 7 lakh 30 thousand asteroids have been discovered so far, out of which 16000 asteroids are present in…
The solar system is said to be 4.6 billion years old. The formation of the solar system is not yet known accurately. Only theories have been presented about this. It is said that the Solar System may have originated from an explosion inside a large gas cloud, also called a nebula. Whereas the universe is…
You must have heard about asteroids at some point or the other. These are rocks moving in space which are said to have come out of the explosion that occurred during the formation of the solar system. Their size can range from 50 feet to several kilometers. These days they are continuously passing close to…
Rocks or asteroids hovering in space, also known as asteroids, are coming towards the Earth one after the other. Many asteroids are passing very close and the distance between them and the Earth remains only a few lakh kilometers. Compared to the infinite size of the universe, this distance is negligible. In such a situation,…
Our solar system is not very old in the infinite ocean of space. It is said to have been formed 4.6 billion years ago. According to space scientists, the scientific theory says that the solar system was born from an explosion inside a large gas cloud, also called a nebula. In this explosion, planets were…
There are thousands of asteroids in space at a distance of millions of kilometers from the Earth. It is said that these rocky pieces were scattered in space at the time of the formation of the solar system. That is why, like the planets, they are revolving around the only star of the solar system,…
Asteroids are those rocks rotating in space which can pose a big threat to the Earth at any time. These have been revolving around the Sun since the time of its formation, bound by the Sun’s gravity. They are different from planets and meteorites but their structure is similar to planets, because they are made…
Modern science has extended the scope of human vision beyond our solar system by making huge telescopes. The solar system is present in the Milky Way Galaxy. The Milky Way galaxy is also said to have 4 circular parts, out of which our solar system is continuously revolving around the galaxy in the outermost circle….
