In this captivating course, we'll embark on a thrilling journey through the solar system, exploring the contrasting realms of terrestrial and Jovian planets. Get ready to delve into the mysteries of these celestial wonderlands!


6 Asteroids, Meteors ,Meteoroids
10 Min

Ah, the celestial quartet! Let's break down the differences between asteroids, meteors, meteoroids, and meteorites: 1. Asteroids: Rocky space-dwellers, orbiting the Sun like miniature planets but much smaller. Size range: From pebbles to mountains. Location: Mostly found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Potential threats: Some asteroids have orbits that could intersect Earth's path, necessitating monitoring and potential deflection strategies. 2. Meteors: Shooting stars! These are meteoroids entering Earth's atmosphere at high speeds, burning up due to friction. Brief and brilliant streaks of light across the night sky. No threat, just a beautiful cosmic light show. 3. Meteoroids: The smallest members of the group, ranging from dust particles to small boulders. Mostly leftovers from comets or collisions between asteroids. Most never make it to Earth, burning up in space. 4. Meteorites: Survivors! These meteoroids managed to withstand the fiery descent through Earth's atmosphere and landed on our planet's surface. Valuable scientific objects, holding clues about the early solar system. Some meteorites are metallic, while others are stony or a mix of both.


7 Internal structure of the earth
11 Min

Embark on a geological adventure! This course invites you to peel back the Earth's layers and delve into its fascinating internal structure. From the fiery core to the diverse mantle and the thin, yet crucial, crust, we'll uncover the secrets that lie beneath our feet.
