Exploring Our Solar System: A Journey Through the Planets 🌌

Our solar system is a cosmic masterpiece formed around 4.6 billion years ago, when a giant spinning cloud of gas and dust—known as the solar nebula—collapsed under gravity and flattened into a protoplanetary disk sciencedirect.com+8science.nasa.gov+8en.wikipedia.org+8. At its core, the Sun ignited through nuclear fusion, pulling in over 99% of the system’s mass, while the remaining material coalesced into planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and dwarf planets science.nasa.gov+3science.nasa.gov+3gelogia.com+3.

🌞 1. The Sun

A G-type star at the center, the Sun sustains life on Earth via its heat and light. Its intense core, heated to 15 million °C, powers fusion—turning hydrogen into helium . It's encircled by the heliosphere, which shields the planets from cosmic radiation.



🌍 2. The Rocky Inner Planets

Closest to the Sun are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. These are small, rocky worlds, made of metals and silicates—materials that withstood the Sun’s early heat astrogirl-au.com+12en.wikipedia.org+12science.nasa.gov+12.

  • Mercury: Tiny and cratered, with no moon.

  • Venus: A hot, dense atmosphere hotter than 460 °C.

  • Earth: Our oasis of water, life, and air.

  • Mars: Once watery, now cold with volcanic plains and ice caps.




🪐 3. The Giant Outer Planets

Beyond the asteroid belt lie the gas giants and ice giants:

🌀 4. Dwarf Planets & Small Bodies

  • Dwarf planets—like Pluto, Eris, and Ceres—share planetary traits but haven’t cleared their orbits science.nasa.gov.

  • The asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter is a reservoir of rocky debris.

  • Farther out, the Kuiper Belt and distant Oort Cloud hold icy relics and comets that journey toward the Sun lco.global+10nhm.ac.uk+10space.com+10.

🔭 How Everything Came to Be

🌠 Final Thoughts

Our solar system is a tapestry of diverse worlds—rocky, gaseous, icy, and dusty. It emerged from cosmic chaos into structured harmony. Each planet, moon, and comet carries clues about our origins and remains a source of wonder and scientific discovery.

Tolkien World

  Professor Tolkien created a universe, not a world.  In that universe, black and white, tall, thin, fat, ugly and beautiful had room for everyone.  Those who watched the video I posted earlier about Aragon's life story have heard about these Drúedain.  In the fourth age, their leader Ghân-buri-Ghân was given a separate forest by Aragon.  According to Elves and Men, the Drúedain are a very ugly tribe.  As described, their height is about 04 feet.  Also, they are very fat.  Large buttocks were positioned.  But he had two skinny legs.  They have been mentioned since the first era.  They come with the same people who migrated to Beleriand.  They have also lived in Númenor.  Later, with darkness taking over, they return to Middle Earth.  After that, they are in a dark forest near the land of Gondor.  #finish

  🌞 The Sun: Heart of the Sky, Flame of Life In every sunrise and sunset, the Sun paints the sky in gold. It's more than just a ball of fire—it's a symbol, a science, and a silent storyteller. Since the beginning of time, humans have worshipped the Sun. Ancient civilizations called it a god, a king, or a mother. The Egyptians praised Ra , the mighty sun god. In Sri Lanka, India, and many Asian cultures, the Sun was honored as a life-giver. Today, science reveals its deeper truth: the Sun is a burning sphere of hydrogen and helium, blazing at 15 million degrees Celsius in its core. But even with all our knowledge, the Sun still feels magical. ☀️ Character of the Sun The Sun is steady. It rises every day without fail. This quality has given it the image of loyalty and strength . It doesn’t hide or change form. Its light brings hope, power, and renewal . The Sun is powerful but not cruel. It gives warmth, helps plants grow, drives the weather, and lights up even the darkes...

 ALIEN: XENOMORPH -BIOLOGY EXPLAINED  Almost everyone has seen the movie Alien, which was released in the year 1979. In this movie, directed by Ridley Scott, he deviated from the traditional Alien concept seen in the cinema and showed the aliens as a part of destructive deadly parasitic creatures. His design is still popular all over the world today.  What is going to be explained is about the mortal Aliens that everyone has seen in movies, games and comics and their biological background.  You must know by now that these dangerous species are called Alien but they are called Xenomorph. Some of you may know about this by now, I will say for those who don't know. The word Xenomorph is a combination of two Greek words.  The meaning of Xenos in Greek is "stranger" or "foreigner". And if we take the meaning of Morph, it shows the meaning of "species" or "life". So if we take the meaning of the word Xenomorph, it means "alien species" or...
