My Weigh T3 400 Triton T3 400 Gram x 0.01 Digital Pocket Scale Black

Product Information

The temperature of Triton's upper atmosphere, at 95 ±5K, is higher than that at its surface, due to heat absorbed from solar radiation and Neptune's magnetosphere. Cantaloupe terrain [ edit ] Cantaloupe terrain viewed from 130,000km by Voyager 2, with crosscutting Europa-like double ridges.

Little is known about the north pole because it was on the night side during the Voyager 2 encounter, but it is thought that Triton must also have a north polar ice cap. An upper limit in the low 40s (K) can be set from vapor pressure equilibrium with nitrogen gas in Triton's atmosphere. Most of the outer irregular moons of Jupiter and Saturn also have retrograde orbits, as do some of Uranus's outer moons. This is the first place such bodies have been found apart from Earth, and Triton is the only icy body known to feature cryolava lakes, although similar cryomagmatic extrusions can be seen on Ariel, Ganymede, Charon, and Titan. To be gravitationally captured by a planet, a passing body must lose sufficient energy to be slowed down to a speed less than that required to escape.The depressions ( cavi) are probably not impact craters because they are all of the similar size and have smooth curves. Triton is named after the Greek sea god Triton (Τρίτων), the son of Poseidon (the Greek god corresponding to the Roman Neptune). The best-observed examples are named Hili and Mahilani (after a Zulu water sprite and a Tongan sea spirit, respectively). The proposed capture of Triton may explain several features of the Neptunian system, including the extremely eccentric orbit of Neptune's moon Nereid and the scarcity of moons as compared to the other giant planets.

Triton is thus, along with Earth, Io, Europa and Enceladus, one of the few bodies in the Solar System on which active eruptions of some sort have been observed. Some maculae are simple dark spots with diffuse boundaries, and others comprise a dark central patch surrounded by a white halo with sharp boundaries. Astrophysicists believe it might have originated in the Kuiper belt, [13] a ring of small icy objects extending from just inside the orbit of Neptune to about 50 AU from the Sun. Put on a blues backing track and solo over each 7th chord using the tritone scale to build your lines and phrases. This indicates that solar heating, although very weak at Triton's great distance from the Sun, plays a crucial role.

Lassell did not name his discovery; he later successfully suggested the name Hyperion, previously chosen by John Herschel, for the eighth moon of Saturn when he discovered it.
