When Triton reached the elliptical orbit's far end, the tides would be much weaker. Each time Triton passed close to Neptune, the tides caused by the big planet's gravity would be strongest.

For the next billion years, it swung in a highly elongated orbit, crashing into any satellites Neptune originally had beyond the ones known to be near the planet. The theory suggests that Triton strayed too close to Neptune and was captured by the gravity of the more massive planet about four billion years ago. The idea is that Triton was once an independent planet of ice and rock plying its own orbit about the Sun. Weather patterns on Earth are driven from heat of Sun, but weather on Jupiter appear to be dominated by the interior.Formed by rising gas carrying heat upward from deep below the clouds and creating a vast, rotating storm. The largest dark spot is the Great Red Spot, which has been in one of the southern zones for more than 330 years.On Earth, high and low pressure regions are bounded by high-speed wings, and the same is true on Jupiter.This explains the extensive shear and turbulence at the boundaries between these regions (see the discussion following about the Great Red Spot). Each hemisphere has around 6 bands with winds blowing at very high velocities in opposite directions. The belts and zones are the energy driving turbulence in the atmosphere.In the clouds of Jupiter lies the largest ocean in the Solar System and it has no surface and no waves. Swirling cloud belts are invisible to our eyes.The auroras on Jupiter, like auroras on Earth, occur in rings around the magnetic poles. Charged particles in the magnetosphere leak downward along the magnetic field, and, where they enter the atmosphere, they produce auroras 1000 times more powerful than those on Earth. We have seen that Earth's magnetosphere produces auroras, and the same is true on Jupiter.Most were gobbled up, but a few - their number being determined by the ratio of total mass of all satellites to the mass of the 'parent' planet - survived in fairly stable orbits.It is during this period that the planets 'adjusted' their orbits to the relatively stable sequence we see now. Some of these protoplanets may have ended up as asteroids, some may have headed straight into the Sun (perhaps bashing one of the terrestrial planets on the way), and some may have been flung straight past the Sun and out of the Solar System completely. Jupiter may just assimilate it, or it may toss it toward the Sun. Neptune would pass a protoplanet to Uranus, which would pass it to Saturn, which would pass it to Jupiter.Inevitably, the larger masses would start interfering with the orbits of the slightly smaller masses, and the combined gravitational/rotational interactions would have the effect of flinging the smaller ones either out to the margins of the planetary system or in toward the central star. They'd start pulling greater and greater quantities of volatiles and liquids into themselves.They would grow and their gravitational attraction would increase rapidly. All volatile and liquid elements that would be given off by an early star would gather quickly into frozen blobs in the cold outer reaches of the system.Formed within the first 10 million years of development of a star-planet system or they didn't ever develop.The Smart Battery Isolator is available in 85A (48525) and 200A (48530) versions. No diode efficiency losses occur when using Cole Hersee’s smart battery isolator, and it also allows bi-directional charging from alternator or from other power chargers/converters.Įasy to install, the smart battery isolator also features an LED status indicator and operational start assist. It’s also smaller, lighter and generates less heat than competitive products.īecause the smart battery isolator reduces charging system workload by not connecting to the auxiliary battery until the primary battery is charged to 13.2 V, there is lower strain on expensive charging components, extending the product life.

The Smart Battery Isolator provides a more flexible solution than traditional isolators, as it is not specific to an alternator type. Ideal for dual battery applications, Cole Hersee’s Smart Battery Isolator prevents loads on the auxiliary battery from draining the starting battery.
