The Formation of Planets in our Solar System

 In our solar systems younger days, the Sun was surrounded by a rotating ring of gas and dust which could form into planets. The circular rotational motion of all the gas and dust formed the planets that we know today. There are thousands of formed planets in the Milky Way, but the formation of the planets in our oen solar system was unusual. Planets like Jupiter and Saturn are interesting in its self because the amount of times they orbit around the sun has changed throughout the years. Also planets like Uranus and Neptune were shaped by the mass of the Kuiper Belt, an icy region of our solar systems edge. This belt made a bunch of dawf planets, like pluto. For Earth tho, it is still a mystery with how it formed where it did with the massive planets of Saturn and Jupiter behind it causing big gravitational fields from the Sun, becuase those planets were in our solar system before Earth was. I believe that knowing how our planets were made, and when they were made is very important because it is quite literally the makeup of how we became humans.

    It crazy how these huge safistacaited spheres formed. My takeaway is that maybe all the dust, debris, and gas were going so fast and formed together. It's crazy to think about it, and even more crazy how humans and animals were formed, the logical idea is bacteria up to humans, but maybe it wasn't that.

    With all of the advancements in science and technology today it is interesting to know that there are still many things that we don't understand and need to continue research on. This being one of the most interesting ones as it is the creation of the planet that gave us life. Hopefully science will continue to grow and advance to finally answer questions such a this.

    Reading information like this makes being a human feel insignificant. This formation is almost impossible to process and we are just one of many solar systems.

    I completely agree about learning more about how Earth was created can help us understand how to protect it, and lead to further discoveries. It is very interesting to think that no-one has found an explanation to why Earth formed, and why it is the only planet that can sustain life in our galaxy.

Dual-fuel vehicles

A recent study shows that dual- fuel vehicles are benefiting the population but, turns out they are costing the environment. While substituting gasoline for ethanol gases, it causes an increase of ultra fine particle matter, with a 30% increase of atmospheric concentration. The problem is that they are less then 50 nanometers in diameter. The nano particles are also not track or regulated by the environmental agencies. We inhale these gases everyday, inhaling ethanol. The most practical way to reduce greenhouse gases is using electric, hybrid and biofuel care.   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828124546.htm

Acid Zone in Chesapeake Bay Found

     According to the University of Delaware, the Chesapeake Bay is becoming acidic as it has gone to 7.4 pH from an average of 8.2. The oxidation of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide may be the factor that is leading to the higher acidity levels in coastal oceans, but it can eventually lead to more of open oceans. Naturally the waters of the Chesapeake Bay have a regulatory system that holds back the increase of acidity levels in the area, and this works as the dissolving of living shells, non-living aragonite, and calcite minerals. Though nature has a path to keep the waters in the Chesapeake Bay, humans should take more care of our Earth as we have a role in polluting the water and rising the acidity levels in coastal oceans. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828093737.htm
