SIO15-18: Lecture 3 The Solar System and the Layered Earth

  • conduction (energy passed between vibrating atoms; slow)
  • radiation (EM waves, no particle movement)
  • diffusion (migration of single particles; slow)
  • convection (mass transport; MOST EFFECTIVE)

Heat Capacity: ability to absorb heat while temperature rises only slowly

Air: 0.00031 cal/cm3/ºC Quartz Sand: 0.31 Granite: 0.51 Water: 1.0 Aluminum: 0.215 Copper: 0.0924 Glass: 0.20 Human body: 0.83

  • water has high heat capacity!
  • serves as moderator

“hidden heat”

evaporation: water vapor absorbs heat condensation: water vapor releases heat

it takes 600 cal to evaporate 1g water (at 0ºC)

terrestrial planets, inner p.: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars (high density); rocky planets gas giants, outer planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune (low density)

mass: sun has 99% of mass

comparable angular momentum

  • > inner planets orbit faster than outer planets

(like skater tugging in arms)

Why do we not have eclipses every month?

because Moon’s orbit around Earth does not lie in the ecliptic

  • wn orbit around sun

not at satellite round has NOT cleared its orbit

  • Pluto (and Charon)
  • large trans-Neptunian objects
  • large asteroids (e.g. Ceres)
  • discovered in 1930
  • Only 2/3 of Moon
  • Weird orbit
  • Smaller than Eris

  • Kuiper belt beyond Neptune: short-period comets
  • Oort cloud: long-period comets
  • icy (frozen volatiles)
  • rocky core (few km across) (Halley comet: 40km)
  • sunlight and solar wind
  • > comet ejects ionized gases and dust
  • > tail

  • first observation of an extraterrestrial impact
  • discovered 24 March 1993 at Palomar Obs.
  • probably captured by Jupiter 20-30 years earlier
  • fragmentation during July 1992 encounter
  • impact 16 – 22 July 1994
  • scientists argued whether impact would be seen

at all

  • captures by Jupiter not uncommon (19 July 2009)
