... Uncovering the Chemistry of Earth-like Planets . ... An Earth-like planet, born from the same nebula as its host star, is composed primarily of silicate rocks and an iron-nickel metal core, and depleted in volatile content in a systematic manner. The more volatile (easier to vaporize or dissociate into gas form) an element is in an Earth-like planet, the more depleted the element is compared to its host star. ... Apr . ...

In first order the magnetic field created by this magnet is that of a dipole whose axis is tilted with respect to the spin axis by about 11 degrees. ... The difference between the dipole axis and geographic axis is one of the reasons why there are so many different coordinate systems needed to describe locations in space around the Earth. The area around the Earth governed by its magnetic field is called the magnetosphere . ...

... Astronomers have found a planet the size of Earth just outside of our Solar System, orbiting around our nearest star! ... More than 800 planets have now been found outside our Solar System, we call them 'exo-planets . ... While the newly discovered exo-planet is similar to the Earth in size, it is much closer to its star than our planet. ... A year on the exo-planet would be just three days long (this is how long it takes the planet to complete one orbit of its star). ...
