Solar System B

[waawamellon]

I really need another websight to get information... REALLY BAD





that is all

Try Googling "Solar System"
There you go:
37,400,000 websites found in .14 seconds.

Or, continuing with the Scioly tradition, you could just look here

I'd like to know: do we need to know what the dwarf planets are? and do we need to know what disqualifies them from being planets? also, what abut sedna, the oort cloud, and the kuiper belt? thanks a lot

[gyourkoshaven]

Yes, to all of them. Make sure you read the rules thoroughly.

May I direct you to the Solar System Wiki? It has a lot of the info you need to know for this event, and if you can't find something, there's always Google.

And yes, you do need to know the 5 dwarf planets (which are dwarf planets and not actual planets because a true planet is big enough to be rounded by its own gravity, has cleared its orbit of other "space debris", etc. The important thing to know is that actual planets have cleared their orbits while dwarf planets have not.) I'm really bad at explaining these things, so sorry if I don't make any sense.

So, its pretty much....

The Sun (Sol)
The 8 planets
The dwarf planets
The moons orbiting the 8 planets and 5 dwarf planets
Minor celestial objects, like the asteriods, comets, meteors, centaurs, etc.
Kuiper Belt
Oort Cloud
Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion
Newton's Laws of Motion

Anything i left off? because i've been studying all of this for at least a month, so i wanted to be absolutely sure. Thanks again.

Just study the stuff they list on the rules...They don't lie to you. (Ok they sometimes do, but that's a fantastic base.)

Yeah, I think that's just about what this event is made up of.

You will also need to know characteristics of all of those things you mentioned, like what the radius is of Venus, or what the atmosphere is made up of on Mars.
Don't forget about some basic formulas, like Escape Velocity. Thats a big one.

Uhh robodude, we recently discussed how we thought this would be more of a concept based event, due to the huge shrinkage (Yes, oxymoron intended) of resources. This is B division...they won't make you know all of the numbers and stuff.
