Planets are round due to the effects of gravity, which pulls equally from all sides, creating a three-dimensional circle. On the other hand, asteroids come in a range of irregular shapes because their gravity isn’t strong enough to pull them into a sphere. Instead, they are shaped from space material coalescing and collisional destruction. Discover … Read more
Russia is the largest country on Earth, while Europa is the sixth largest moon in our solar system. As a result it has a surface area of 30.9 million sq. km compared to Russia’s 17.1 million sq. km whereas the Russia’s volume is far smaller at at 632.7 million cubic km compared to Europa’s’ significantly larger … Read more
Whether we can walk on Mars has been debated for years. While the possibility of humans one day being able to explore the red planet is exciting, we must overcome many challenges before this dream becomes a reality. From the hostile environment on Mars to the difficulty in getting supplies and equipment there, walking on … Read more
Brazil is the fifth largest country on Earth, whilst the Moon is the 5th largest natural satellite. Still, there’s no comparison regarding which one is bigger as Brazil is a flat land mass with a surface area of 8.5 million square kilometers and a volume of 340 million sq. kilometers while the Moon is a … Read more
Brazil is the largest country in South America by a considerable distance. It is home to a melting pot of indigenous cultures that live both around its major cities and within its vast portion of the Amazon rainforest. One common question surrounding Brazil is, is it bigger than Jupiter’s moon, Europa? Brazil is a good … Read more
Brazil has a surface area of 8.5 million sq. kilometers and a volume of 340 million cubic kilometers while Mercury is the smallest planet but a spherical entity with a surface area of 74.79 million sq. kilometers and a volume of 60.8 billion cubic kilometers. Therefore, it only makes sense that a planet would be bigger … Read more
Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system and has long been a source of fascination for scientists. But what lies beneath its thick clouds? Does Jupiter have a solid core, or is it made up of gas and liquid? The general consensus would lead us to believe that a solid core does exist … Read more
Canada is the second largest country on Earth, while Europa is the sixth largest moon in our solar system. As a result it has a surface area of 30.9 million sq. km compared to Canada’s 9.98 million sq. km whereas Canada’s volume is far smaller at 349.4 million cubic km compared to Europa’s’ significantly larger 15.9 … Read more
The main differences between the Moon and Titania is that the Moon is bigger with a diameter of 3,474.8km while Titania’s diameter is 1,576.8km, Titania orbits Uranus while the Moon orbits Earth and Titania may water under its surface is far likely to have any. For a more detailed breakdown of the Moon and Titania … Read more
Our Sun, at the center of the Milky Way, will never become a black hole simply because its mass is far too small. Black holes form from supernova explosions that collapse into highly dense concentrations of matter. Our Sun does not possess enough mass to go supernova and will one day transition from a red … Read more
