The main differences between Phobos and Venus are that Phobos is a natural satellite while Venus is a terrestrial planet, Phobos is very small, coming in at 22.53 km while Venus is the second largest rock based planet with a diameter of 12,104km, and Venus has an atmosphere 90 times the thickness of Earth while … Read more
Black holes and dark energy are very different from one another as black holes are the densest entities in our universe and come in varying sizes whereas dark energy is simply the energy that makes up 68% of our universe and is responsible for its expansion. For a more detailed look at each entity, continue … Read more
The main differences between Phobos and Mercury are that Phobos is a natural satellite that orbits Mars while Mercury is a planet that only orbits the Sun, Phobos is far smaller with a diameter of 22.53km compared to Mercury’s 4,879km and Phobos is getting closer to Mars roughly 1.8cm every year, where it may potentially … Read more
Mars has two moons; Phobos and Deimos. These satellites are tiny (even the larger one has a diameter that is 100 times smaller than Earth’s moon) and orbit their planet at an incredibly close range. Sculpted by meteorite impacts, these moons are irregularly shaped and incredibly dark (which is why they weren’t discovered until the … Read more
Europe is the second smallest continent on Earth, whilst Titan is the second biggest natural satellite in our solar system. Still, there’s no comparison regarding which one is bigger as the former is a flat land mass with a surface area of 10.53 million square kilometers and a volume of 420 million cubic kilometers while Titan … Read more
Europe is the second smallest continent on Earth, whilst Callisto is the third largest moon in our solar system. Still, there’s no comparison regarding which one is bigger as the former is a flat land mass with a surface area of 10.53 million square kilometers and a volume of 420 million cubic kilometers while Callisto is … Read more
Asteroids cannot be larger than Earth for several reasons. If an asteroid were the size of Earth, it would no longer be an asteroid. This is because an object with the diameter of Earth would possess the required size to achieve hydrostatic equilibrium and, therefore, would be classified as a planet or dwarf planet. Continue … Read more
Europe is the second smallest continent on Earth, whilst Ganymede is the largest moon in our solar system. Still, there’s no comparison regarding which one is bigger as the former is a flat land mass with a surface area of 10.53 million square kilometers and a volume of 420 million cubic kilometers while Ganymede is a … Read more
Europe is the second smallest continent on Earth, whilst the Moon is the fifth largest natural satellite in our solar system. Still, there’s no comparison regarding which one is bigger as the former is a flat land mass with a surface area of 10.53 million square kilometers and a volume of 420 million cubic kilometers while … Read more
The term “interstellar” literally means between the stars and describes the regions of space between solar systems. These areas contain sparse collections of gas, dust, and plasma. Interstellar clouds are the areas where this space material is more highly concentrated and the place where many stars are born. Continue reading to explore interstellar clouds, how … Read more
