Scientists use the term “Hot Jupiter” to describe any planet with a similar size and mass to our Jupiter but sitting closer to its own star. These “Jupiters” form from the central star, but some migrate inwards. These are the hot Jupiters. Continue reading to discover how hot a hot Jupiter is, how it forms, … Read more
The main difference between a quasar and kilonova is that quasars are the brightest known entities in our universe that surround supermassive black holes whilst a kilonova occurs when 2 neutron stars merge together producing an explosion that is 1,000 times the brightness of a nova explosion. There are numerous other differences between these two … Read more
The main differences between Earth and Pluto is that Earth is roughly 5 times bigger, has only 1 moon in comparison to Pluto’s 5, is an officially recognized planet as opposed to Pluto that is a dwarf planet, is able to sustain life and is the 3rd farthest planet from the Sun whilst Pluto is … Read more
The main differences between Earth and Neptune is that Earth is a terrestrial planet that is able to harbor life whilst Neptune is a gas based ice giant that is unlikely to harbor life. Earth has 1 moon whilst Neptune has 14, Neptune is just under 4 times bigger in terms of diameter, Neptune has … Read more
The main differences between Titan and Earth is that Titan is a natural satellite that orbits Saturn and is the 2nd biggest moon in the solar system and is even larger than Mercury with a diameter of 5,150km whilst Earth allows intelligent life to flourish, is 12,742km in diameter and has its own natural satellite … Read more
The main differences between the Moon and Titan would be that Titan has an atmosphere very similar to that of Earth whilst the Moon has a very thin exosphere, Titan is the 2nd largest natural satellite whilst the Moon is 5th and the Moon is nearly 2 times as dense as Titan with a density … Read more
The main differences between Earth and Uranus is that Earth is the 3rd farthest planet from Earth whilst Uranus is 7th, Uranus has an axial tilt of 98 degrees whilst Earth’s is 23.5 degrees, Earth has 1 moon whilst Uranus has 27 and Earth is a terrestrial planet composed mostly of water and rock whereas … Read more
The main differences between the Sun and Earth would be that the Sun is a yellow dwarf main-sequence star that is 1.39 million km in diameter that is located at the center of our solar system, with the ability to produce energy via nuclear fusion whilst Earth is the 3rd farthest terrestrial planet from the Sun … Read more
The main differences between Earth and Jupiter is that Earth is a terrestrial planet that can harbour intelligent life whilst Jupiter is a gas giant that cannot, Earth is the 3rd farthest planet from the Sun whilst Jupiter is 5th, Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system whilst Earth is 5th, Jupiter has … Read more
In an intriguing new theory, scientists suggest that an “anti-universe” could be running backward in time from the point of the big bang. Applying the existence of fundamental symmetry to the universe as a whole, a mirror image of our universe could help us to understand the nature of dark matter better. Continue reading to … Read more
