Introduction
Triton is a moon of Neptune. Triton is also a son of Neptune or Poseidon. Triton is the largest natural satellite of Neptune. Triton is also the first ever moon discovered orbiting Neptune. Triton is also the only Moon of a large size that has a retrograde orbit. Retrograde orbit is an orbital motion that is opposite of the rotation of its center primary object. Triton is The Seventh largest moon in The Solar System. Biography Triton has a surface area of 23,018,000 kilometers squared. Triton has a radius of 840.96 miles. Triton has an average temperature of 38 Kelvin or -235.2 degrees Celsius or -391.36 degrees Fahrenheit. Triton is 500 Million years old. Triton has an atmosphere made of Nitrogen with trace amount of Carbon Monoxide & tiny amount of Methane on its surface. Triton has a surface is icy. Triton has an orbital period of 141 Earth Hours. Triton Son of Poseidon Triton is the Greek god of The Sea in The Traditional Classical World. Triton is also the son of Poseidon, the Greek god of The Sea, Storms, Earthquakes & horses. Triton is also son of Amphitrite, the queen of the sea. Triton is known to be a merman which is a creature with the upper body of a man(woman if a Mermaid) and the lower body of a fish.

Introduction
Titan, like Saturn, is a Titan. Titan is also one of Saturn's Moons. So it's appropriate that the one World named after a Titan be called Titan. Along with Titan are many moons that orbit Saturn. Some of these moons include Mimas, Telesto, Pan, Aegaeon & and Atlas. Titan is the second largest Natural Satellite in The Solar System, so naturally, Titan, is a Titan. Biography Titan has a surface area of 8.3 X 10^7 kilometers squared which is about 0.163 Earths or 2.188 Lunas(our moon). Titan has zero tilt in axis. Titan is also known as Saturn VI. Titan's Atmosphere consist of Nitrogen(97%), Methane(2.7 plus or minus 0.1%), and trace amounts hydrocarbons such as ethane, methylacetylene, acetylene, and propane; & other gases like cyanoethylene, hydrogen cyanide, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, cyanogen, argon and helium. The Titans The Titans, in Traditional Classical World Religion & Traditional Roman Religion, were Colossal gods that ruled previous to The Olympians. The King of The Titans was Saturn or Cronus also known as Father Time. Other notable Titans are Atlas, Rhea, Phoebe, Oceanus and Theia. Cronus was a King who was scared of losing his throne to his kin. So, he ate them. Rhea, his wife, was distraught at this act. Her love for her son Zeus, drove her to hide him away and feed Cronus a Rock disguised as Zeus. Later on, Zeus would rebel against Cronus and become The King of The gods, freeing his siblings from his Father's belly in the process. The Olympian gods ruled and the Titans were locked away.

Super World, also known as Jupiter is The Largest World in The Solar System. Jupiter also has the most confirmed moons at a whooping 79. Europa is one of them. Europa is one of Super World's more famous moons out of the 79 it's known to have. Europa receives its name from Europa who is the daughter of The King of Tyre. Europa is known as a Phoenician Noblewoman in The Traditional Classical World Religion. Yes, unlike a lot of people think, Europa, The Moon, is not named after Europe. Biography Europa has the smoothest surface of anything solid known in The Universe. Europa is a part of The Galilean Moons of Jupiter. The Galilean moons are the four largest moons orbiting Super World. Europa is the smallest of the four Galilean moons. While its the smallest of The four, it is also The Sixth Largest Moon in The Solar System which is a confirmed 395 moons, 288 are asteroid moons and 107 are trans-neptunian moons. Our moon, Luna, is actually larger than Europa but not by much. Europa is approximately 3100 Kilometer or 1900 Miles in diameter. Europa is made mostly of Silicate Rock and is likely to have a core composed of metallic iron. Europa lacks any seeable craters, hence why it is considered the smoothest solid body in The Solar System. Life on Europa Europa has been observed to have O2(Oxygen) in its atmosphere, though the source of the oxygen is not biological. There is no current signs of life on Europe to this day, but there has been water vapor rising as tall as Mount Everest observed on Europa. It is believed however, that underneath the icy ocean surface of Europe, there may be life that is like The Earth's Deep Ocean hydrothermal vents. The life on Earth that lives in Earth does not rely on The Sun for Aloha. Conclusion A planet is not the only place where we can live. We have been to The Moon, Luna, and survived to tell the story. Venus and Mars are not our only options it seems in this Solar System for a nee home. Europa may someday be able to support Aloha. It goes to show that planets are not alone when it comes to potential home for those with Aloha! MoonIntroduction
We see it every night, every night it is biggest and brightest object in our sky, we've been on it and have studied it as long as man has looked up to the heavens, ladies and gentlemen; The Moon. The beginning of The Moon The Moon is 4.53 Billion Years old. The Moon is thought to come into being when a Mars-sized rock named Theia, collided with The Earth and broke into pieces into space which came together due to gravity forming the Earth revolving Moon. Today, The Moon is the only permanent Satellite to The Earth, revolving not around The Sun, but The Earth. The Phases of The Moon The Moon has 8 phases around The Earth. The phases of the Moon is the view we are able to see the Moon's surface due to the luminosity reflecting from the Sun. Depending on The revolution of The Moon around the Earth, determines how much of The Moon we see. The first of phases in The Moon's cycle is The New Moon, at this phase The Moon is completely black. The second phase of The Lunar cycle is The waxing crescent, The phases of the moon looks like a reverse flag of Turkey, minus the star. The third phase of The Lunar cycle is The First Quarter. At this phase you would see the right half of the moon. The fourth phase of the cycle is The Waxing Gibbous, At this phase you can see most of the moon excluding the very far left side of the moon. The fifth phase of The Lunar Cycle is The Full Moon. This is the phase where you see the whole moon, all of it is lit up for all to see. The sixth cycle of the moon is The Waning Gibbous. Like The Waxing Gibbous you will see most of the Moon except this time it will be the far right side that will be dark. The Seventh phase of The Lunar Cycle of The Third Quarter. In The third quarter you will see the left half of the Moon. The Eighth and final phase of The Lunar cycle is The Waning crescent. In the final cycle you will see the Turkey flag minus the star. The Lunar phases last about a month, hence the name Month which is named after The Moon. The effects of The Moon The Moon doesn't only just light up The Earth's night sky; it also causes the tides of the oceans on Earth. The gravity from The Moon pulls the waters of the Earth, forming Tidal Waves which helps spread water across The Earth. Without this, civilization and even life as we know it, would be different if even non-existent. Conclusion The Moon plays an important role in our lives here on Earth. The moon lights up our night sky and controls the tidal waves on our planet. The Moon is a necessarily key to the life of us humans and all other species on Earth. The Moon like The Sun plays a crucial role in the structure of life on Earth, The Moon in a few ways, is our friend. |
