Secrets and Facts of Cosmos - Knowledge on space and facts about cosmos

  The Sun is the largest object in the Solar System. It contains approximately 98% of the total mass of the Solar system mass. The Sun appears to have been active for about 4.6 billion years, and has enough fuel to go on for another 5 billion years or so. Parts of the Sun : ●Solar core:  It has temperature of about 14 million °C. ● Photosphere: It is about 340 miles thick and temperatures range from 5500°C to 6000°C. It is made of churning gases. ● Corona:   It is the outer most layer of  the Sun, and is only visible during solar eclipse ● Solar Flare: Explosions can reach a maximum speed of 900 km/s and are more violent and spectacular. EXTRA KNOWLEDGE  1. The sun blows a constant stream of invisible particles out into space in all the directions known as solar wind. 2. The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO)  weighs about two tons and with its solar panels extended it stands about 25 feet  across. The spacecraft has 12 scientific instrumen...

Do you want to know about our solar system?  Then this is the best place for you. Our Solar System  Our solar system is consist of the sun and nine planets and their moons. It is a very big planetary family. Some visitors like comets and asteroids are also part of our family. Most of the bodies in the solar system travel around the Sun along nearly circular paths called orbit. Formation of Solar System Solar system formation began billions of years ago, when gases and dust began to come together to form the Sun, planets, and othet bodies of the solar system. Planets in the Solar System  ● Mercury ● Venus ● Earth ● Mars ● Jupiter ● Saturn ● Uranus ● Neptune ● Pluto(Dwarf Planet) ● And many othet dwarf planets Solar system Our Solar System lies in the Milky Way Galaxy.The Milky Way is the galaxy that contains our Solar System, with the name describing the galaxy's appearance from Earth: a hazy band of light seen in the night sky formed from stars that cannot be individually...

 Cosmos Cosmos means every thing which is around us. It is pretty big. Cosmos is originally a Greek word , meaning both "order" and "world" , because the ancient Greeks thought that the world was perfectly harmonious and impeccably put in order. Astronomy  Astronomy is a natural science that studies about celestial objects and phenomenon. It uses mathematics, physics and chemistry in order to explain their origin and evolution. The objects of interest include planets, stars, solar systems, nebulae, black holes, and many other things.

 Composition of Space The space consists of three types of substances: Normal matter, dark matter, and dark energy. The normal matter consists of atoms that makes up the stars, planets, animals and every other thing in the space. This is the distribution of the components present in the space. The blue color (69.86%) represent Dark Energy. Dark Energy is responsible for the expansionof our universe.   The red color (0.6%) reresent Heavy Elements and Neutrino. The pink color (0.6%) represent Stars. The green color (3.99%) represent Freen Hydrogen and Helium.  Hydrogen and Helium are the two most abundant gases in the space. The yellow color(24.95%) represent Dark Matter. Dark Matter that constitutes 25% of the space refers to the matter that does not emit light, and cannot be seen. But its presence can be determined by the gravitational effects on other bodies.

Space is all around us. The universe is so enormous, it is impossible to imagine. The universe includes almost everything we can think about, it is very mysterious. All these heavenly bodies like the sun, stars, the moon, and our earth, along with other planets, are a part of the universe.
