The Uniqe Fact About Planet

Posted by Imron on Thursday, November 10, 2011

Universe save a number of interesting mysteries to be investigated. Here are some interesting facts about the planet.
1. The air in the Earth
Oxygen is one reason the existence of life on Earth. As we know, oxygen is the element most necessary for photosynthesis can be done. This is what made the difference between the Earth with other places in the solar system. On Earth, oxygen content is available for 20.95% of the total existing air.
2. Giant red spot on Jupiter
As the planet who are in fifth place in the solar system, Jupiter is unique. Not only become the largest among the other planets, but also has a giant red spots. Experts say, the rash is a very big storm and seen in the last three centuries. Known as the diameter of the giant red spot it can reach three times the diameter of Earth. So big, the people of Earth can be seen through a telescope.
3. Hexagonal cloud by Saturn
The presence of hexagonal cloud is ever caught on camera of NASA's spacecraft (research and development institutions owned by the United States space). The location of the cloud was there at the north pole of Saturn or around 78o north longitude. Interestingly, the cloud is only in the north pole. However, it does not exist in Saturn's south pole.
4. Dust storm on Mars
According to scientists, there are dust storms on Mars is the largest in the solar system. This dust storm blanketed the planet could even up to last for several months. Therefore, the sight of the inhabitants of Earth who want to see The Red Planet could be disrupted. Surrounding the Martian dust storms, it also increases the temperature at the surface of the planet.
5. Saturn's rings
Friends of Bravo! must recognize that there are rings of Saturn is not it? Apparently, the ring consists of thousands of rings that surround Saturn. So far, scientists still argue that the ring is made of chunks of ice meteorites. The amount is also very surprising that two hundred times the diameter of Saturn.
6. The highest and lowest on Mars
If Earth has the highest peak of Mount Everest, our solar system have reached high Olympus Mons is 27 km or three times Mount Everest. Foot width of about 500 km to 600 km, with a width kalderanya reach 80 km. In addition, Mars also has the largest canyon called Valles Marineris with a length of 4,000 km and a depth reaches 2 km to 7 km.
7. The slope of the axis of the planet Uranus
Because of the tilt axis of the planet, north and south poles of Uranus lies on the spot, which on other planets is called the equator. If conceivable, Uranus looks more like a rolling ball rather than a spinning top. Because of the slope that reaches 97.77 o axis, the change of seasons on Uranus are very different from other planets.
8. Wind on Planet Neptune
Wind speeds on Neptune contained exceed the speed of cars in action on the racecourse, which is 1,500 miles / hour. However, no one knows the cause of this wind.
9. Extreme temperature differences on Planet Mercury
As the planet closest to the Sun, you can imagine how high the temperature at the planet Mercury, which reaches 450oC. Interestingly, when the days turned the night, the temperature at the surface of Mercury can be decreased drastically to-170oC. This is because, Mercury has no atmosphere enough to withstand exposure to sun rays. Since then, Mercury can not be the residence of living beings.
10. A very high surface temperature on Venus
As the second closest planet from the Sun, of course, the temperature at the surface of Venus is higher than the Earth. Another thing that causes it to happen is the high levels of carbon dioxide on the planet. (Chrissy Junita)
