The Greek philosopher Democritus (450–370 BC) proposed that the bright band on the night sky known as the Milky Way might consist of distant stars. Aristotle (384–322 BC), however, believed the Milky Way to be caused by "the ignition of the fiery exhalation of some stars which were large, numerous and close together" and that the "ignition takes place in the upper part of the atmosphere, in the region of the world which is continuous with the heavenly motions.“ The . The processes by which stars and planets form are active areas of research in modern astrophysics. The formation of our own solar system is central to the first half of our course, and important to the second half as well when we study the formation of stars. Neoplatonist. philosopher . Olympiodorus. the Younger (c. 495–570 AD) criticized this view, arguing that if the Milky Way were sublunary it should appear different at different times and places on the Earth, and that it should have parallax, which it does not. In his view, the Milky Way was celestial. This idea would be influential later in the Islamic world.. Earth and Sun Relationship. Earth completes one revolution around the sun every 365 ¼ days. . Revolution – the time it takes for the Earth to complete 1 orbit around the sun.. What is Rotation?. Rotation – the Earth rotates around its axis once every 24 hours..

Saturn. Uranus. Neptune. Our Home Planet. Earth, our home planet, is the third planet from the Sun and the fifth largest planet in the Solar System. Earth is 150 million kilometres from the Sun.. The bodies we see in the sky from earth are called heavenly bodies or celestial bodies. They include the stars, planets, comets and the moons.. Stars. : Stars are huge balls of very hot gaseous matter. They are self-luminous celestial bodies that emit heat and light. The sun is the star nearest to the Earth..
