In this Physics tutorial, you will learn:
As a species, we have been aware of the existence of planets for thousands of years and they have played a key part in our everyday lives and our evolution. Astronomy, the science that deals with celestial bodies, is one of the oldest branches of physics. The Earth itself is a planet, a type of celestial body, yet scientists only realized this fact many centuries after discovering and observing other planets. It is very interesting that people knew many properties of other planets, including the period of revolution, position, spherical shape etc., but believed that the Earth to be different from all the other celestial bodies. They assumed that it was flat in shape. An entire theory was produced based on this false assumption - a theory that obviously was overthrown by famous scientists during the last period of Middle Age and Renaissance.
In this tutorial, we will discuss key questions relating to Astronomy including: What celestial bodies are made of? How do they move? How far are they from each other and from the Sun? and many other interesting questions that have been the most important and challenging questions for humanity for a long time.
