FUNDAMENTALS OF GEOGRAPHY Assignment 2 Topic: Importance of Position of Earth in Solar System Submitted to: Ma’am Ambreena Mubashir Submitted by: Muzammil Fayyaz Major: English Language & Linguistics Semester: 1 Importance of Position of Earth in Solar System Introduction: Earth is the third planet from the Sun, the densest planet in the Solar System, the largest of the Solar System's four terrestrial planets, and the only astronomical object known to harbor life. Earth is really important as it is the only planet which has water on its surface. The other reason is that there is life on it because of the suitable conditions which includes temperature, climate and natural resources etc. Solar System is the collection of nine …show more content…

It is at third number starting from the side of sun, after the planets Mercury and Venus. Earth is very unique because of its uncommon features. These includes perfect energy from sun, suitable temperature, correct weather, presence of water and biggest of all life. The Earth receive perfect and appropriate amount of energy from sun as it is in best position, unlike the other planets. The planets which are more closer to sun acquire more than needed energy from sun and the ones which are more far from sun acquires very less amount which do not help those planets in …show more content…

If the Earth was nearer to sun, it would not possible for it to maintain the suitable temperature as the energy would be in very huge quantity and temperature would be very much that everything would start melting because of the heat like on mercury. On other side, if it would be far, the temperature would be very less that very thing would start freezing like on Uranus or Neptune. It has a correct weather because of its position as the Earth's orbit not be too extreme at either aphelion or perihelion. The eccentricity of Earth's orbit is about 0.017, very small. This means that while summer in the Southern hemisphere is slightly hotter than summer in the Northern hemisphere, it's not enough to make it untenable. Due to this location Earth has many seasons like summer, spring, winter and autumn etc. Unlike other planets, as Uranus and Neptune cannot have hot summers and Mercury also cannot have extreme winters or

    However, they play other roles as well. Due to the tilt of the Earth’s axis, some locations get more sunlight than others. Near the equator, sunlight can be seen for majority of the day. The climate ends up being very hot and dry for almost the entire year. The farther north, or south someone goes from the equator, the colder the climate becomes, and the less sunlight someone receives in a day.

    This goes hand in hand with Newton's Laws of motion and universal gravitation. Newton's law of universal gravitation states that a particle attracts every other particle in the universe using a gravitational force and Newton's law of motion states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force. Newton's Laws back up Kepler's laws by explaining how the planets orbit is an ellipse with the Sun at one of the two foci or center. The force that allows this to happen to the planets are explained by Newton's law and that the gravitational force is moving the planets into rotation, as by the law of motion. These forces assisting each other can make phenomenon's occur such as tides.

    , changes in shape of the Earth’s orbit and its tilt can also affect climate as that determines the amount of sunlight that reaches the Earth. Similar to what is mentioned in the previous point; the tilt and position of the Earth’s axis affect temperature on very long timescales. This means that it take long for the position and the tilt of the Earth’s axis to change. Therefore, this also fails to explain the recent rapid warming of the

Short term effects would be that we’d get used to it after awhile and a long term effect would be we wouldn't be able to grow much plants. The sun helps with your brain producing endorphins.

    During the Middle Ages a Roman Astronomer named Ptolemy came up with the theory that all surrounding planets orbited around the Earth. Advancement in telescopes and technology helped Copernicus during the renaissance create a more logical and accurate theory which stated how the sun is in the middle of our universe and all planets orbited the sun. This changed the way man thought because it realized how small Earth is compared to the rest of the solar system and how we may not be

    One of the reasons Pluto isn’t a planet is because of its size. If Pluto isn’t a planet then Jupiter shouldn’t be a planet. This proves that planets shouldn’t be based on a size. Based on my logic, Pluto orbits the sun. If it wasn’t a planet it wouldn’t orbit the sun because all the other planets orbit the sun and Pluto does.

    Neptune, named after the Roman god of the sea, is the furthest planet from the sun, and the smallest gas planet in diameter. Neptune's mass is much larger than its size though, it is the third largest planet in mass, but the fourth largest in size. It has a circumference of 96,685 miles. It takes 165 years to travel around the sun. That's 34 years older than the recorded for longest living person.

    Also, the IAU’s definition is not necessarily true to all of the planets in our solar system. This shows us that the criteria cannot be met for all of the other bodies stated as a planet so therefore, the rules either have to be changed, or else, Earth is also not considered a planet. Finally, some say that Pluto is also too far out to be a planet, but, from 1979 and 1999, Pluto was closer to the Sun than Neptune. This shows that if Pluto was considered too far away to be a planet, then Neptune could not be considered a planet as it would be too far away from the

Each of the cities have very different geographical layouts and factors that affect temperature and precipitation throughout the year. In Toronto, Canada climate is moderate with warm humid summers and generally cold winters. The climate in Toronto, Canada is moderate due to its southerly location within the country and its proximity to Lake Ontario.
