Generally, solar eclipses happens during the day, and a lunar eclipse occurs at night. Solar eclipses describesa phenomenon where our moon travels a path between our Sun and Earth blocking out the light that reaches us. But if the Sun is not in the sky, we can not witness this event. Still, lunar eclipses also … Read more
A satellite is any object which orbits a star or planet. We can generally group satellites into two main types: natural and man-made. Natural satellites include the moon, while man-made objects include the Hubble Telescope, which sits in a low earth orbit. Continue reading to discover the different types of satellites and how the Hubble … Read more
Canada has a surface area of 9.98 million and a volume of 349.46 mllion cubic kilometers while the Moon is a spherical entity with a surface area of 37.9 million square kilometers and a volume of 21.92 billion cubic kilometers. It only makes sense that the Moon would be bigger as it is spherical whilst Canada … Read more
Asia has a surface area of 44.58 million sq. kilometers and a volume of 2.78 billion cubic kilometers while Callisto is a spherical entity with a surface area of 73 million sq. kilometers and a volume of 59 billion cubic kilometers. As a result it only makes sense that Callisto would be the bigger of the … Read more
Solar flares and coronal mass ejections are both solar explosions that burst through the surface of the Sun (often near hotspots) and make their way toward Earth. Both of these phenomena are caused by the Sun’s twisting magnetic field, which can affect technology and communications here on Earth. Continue reading to discover the key similarities … Read more
China is the third largest country on Earth, while the Moon is the 5th largest moon in our Solar System. The Moon has a surface area of 37.9 million sq. km while China’s is far lesser at 9.7 million sq. km. In regards to volume China’s is 462 million cubic km whereas the Moon’s is 21.9 … Read more
India is the seventh largest country on Earth, whilst Pluto is only a dwarf planet. Still, there’s no comparison regarding which one is bigger as India is a flat land mass with a surface area of 3.28 million square kilometers and a volume of 154.5 million kilometers while Pluto is a spherical body with a surface … Read more
India is the seventh largest country on Earth and forms part of the Asian continent while Callisto is the third largest moon in the solar system. It surface area of 73 million sq. kilometers and a volume of 59 billion cubic kilometers whilst India is far smaller with a surface area of 3.28 million sq. kilometers and … Read more
The main differences between Jupiter and Titania is that Jupiter is a gas giant planet with 79 moons whilst Titania is a natural satellite the orbits Uranus, Jupiter is around 90 times the size of Titania in diameter and has the strongest magnetic field in our solar system whereas Titania doesn’t have a magnetosphere. There … Read more
Australia has a surface area of 7.6 million sq. kilometers and a volume of 304 million cubic kilometers while Titan is the second largest moon and a spherical entity with a surface area of 83 million sq. kilometers and a volume of 71.6 billion cubic kilometers. It only makes sense that Titan would be bigger as it is … Read more
