1 PACKET #5 - MODELS OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM RG: Chapter 27.2 (read text pages ) Name Per 1k. Recognize the cumulative nature of scientific evidence. 1n. Know that when an observation does not agree with an accepted scientific theory, the observation is sometimes mistaken or fraudulent or sometimes the scientific theory is wrong. 1. The first astronomers thought that the stars revolved around the 2a. Aristotle suggested an earth centered or model of the solar system. 2b. In this model the, the and the revolve around the. 3. What changes did Ptolemy make to the model? 4a. What kind of model did Nicolaus Copernicus propose? 4b. What is at the center of this model? 5. How did Copernicus s model solve the problem of some planets moving backwards? 6a. What is Kepler s first law? 6b. The law states that each planet orbits the 6c. Elliptical orbits can vary in shape.

5 Kepler s Three Laws Illustrated (Read pg ) Part I. KEPLER S FIRST LAW INTRODUCTION (fill in the following blanks using your book) Kepler s first law is called the Law of. It states that the planets orbit the sun in a path called an. An ellipse is a closed curve whose shape is determined by two points or. In planetary orbits, one focus is located Elliptical orbits can vary in shape. Some orbits are. Other orbit shapes are almost perfect. The shape of an orbit can be described in a numerical form called During a planet s orbit, is it always the same distance from the sun? Why?: Diagram of a Circle: Diagram of an Ellipse: LAB DIRECTIONS A. Draw 4 different ellipses (Work in a team of 2 people) Step 1. Fold a sheet of paper in half. Each person will draw 2 ellipses with different distances between the foci Step 2. Choose the ellipse that you are going to draw (Distance between foci = 1 cm, 2 cm, 3 cm, or 4 cm) Step 3. Measure and Mark the foci points of either 1.0 cm, 2.0 cm, 3.0 cm or 4.0 cm apart. Step 4. Pin the paper on a piece of cardboard at the appropriate foci, & draw the ellipse with a string Distance between foci (cm) Type of Ellipse: round, rounded oval, oval or elongated oval 1 cm a. 2 cm b. 3 cm c. 4 cm d. B. Conclusion Questions: 1. Describe the ellipse as you increased the distance between the foci 2. Describe what would happen to the ellipse if you increased the length of the string without changing the distance between the foci. (get some string and try it!) Part II. KEPLER S SECOND LAW INTRODUCTION (fill in the following blanks using your book) Kepler s second law is called the Law of. This law describes the at which planets travel at different points in their. Kepler discovered that Mars moves when it is closest to the sun. Therefore it must travel when it is furthest from the sun. He calculated that a line drawn from the center of the sun to the center of another object (like a planet) will sweep through equal in an equal period of. 5
6 LAB DIRECTIONS A. Comparing the Areas of equal time periods 1. Trace the ellipse from the book (fig. 2- pg 693) in the space below. Put this paper over the book and trace the exact shape and lines. 2. Label the SUN and color it orange 3. Put a BLUE dot in the middle of the ellipse and label it focus. 4. Color the short FAT slice RED, and the skinny slice BLUE. B. Conclusion Question: 1. These 2 pie slices are equal in AREA even though they are different shapes (FAT slice and skinny slice). This means that the closer the planet is to the sun (slower or faster) it will travel and it will cover (more or less) distance in the same amount of time. Part III. KEPLER S THIRD LAW (Fill in the following blanks using your book ) Kepler s third law is called the Law of. It describes the relationship between the distance of a planet from the sun and the. The orbit period is the required for the planet to make one full revolution about the sun. The equation for this relationship is where K is a constant, a = & p. Scientists can find out how far away the planets are from the sun by using this law, because they can measure the. 6
7 FORMATION OF THE ATMOSPHERE Atmosphere - Earth s 1st Atmosphere ( billion year ago) Made of (H) & (He). These light gasses (H & He), were heated by solar radiation The gasses were carried away by. FYI: also had the same 1st atmosphere of H & He. Earth s 2nd Atmosphere all over earth produced, carbon dioxide, & nitrogen gas. The only living organisms were. 100 s of millions passed The earth continued to & formed clouds. Rain fall formed the. Earth s third atmosphere (Our Current Atmosphere) Oxygen appeared when broke the water vapor H 2 O into H & 0. However, most of the came from, when plants appeared 2-3 billion years ago. Photosynthesis makes oxygen by turning As plants became wide spread became abundant in the atmosphere. Today our atmosphere is: -Nitrogen (N 2 ) 21%-Oxygen (O 2 ) 0.03 %- (CO 2 ) 0.07 % miscellaneous gases (ex: H 2 O ) 7
8 Notes: Kepler s Laws 3 Laws of Planetary Motion Law of Planets travel around the sun in a path called an. : point when planet is closest to the sun : point when planet is farthest from the sun 2 focal points ( ) Ellipse is is at one of the foci Ellipses can be rounded to. The earth s elliptical orbit is rounded. Law of Equal Areas A line drawn from the center of a planet to the center of the sun sweeps over. Planets travel when they are closer to the sun and when they are farther away. Law of Periods The farther a planet is from the sun,. : how long it takes a planet to orbit the sun (years) : a 3 = p 2 : a = (AU); p = (years) 1 AU = distance from sun to earth ( ) 8
9 NOTES: Solar Nebular Theory The Solar Nebular Theory Is a theory that describes how the. Simply put.it is the theory that best explains the (bya). Step 1: : : (bya) Approximately ago our began to form. At this time our. A nearby sent shockwaves triggering our to begin to. Step 2: The nebula began to, &. Most of the material was pulled by toward the forming our. Tiny began forming along of the disk. Step 3: These tiny collided and and began to. As they grew larger and larger the & protoplanets were formed. The in the center would eventually. Step 4: : (bya) The is officially a star. has begun. The grew larger and became the, the dwarf planet and that currently orbit our sun. The rest of the debris has either or has been swept into space by the. 9
