Solar System

A gravitationally bound system of the Sun and all the things that orbit it, there is one star, 8 planets, (used to be 9 (with Pluto) but considered to be a dwarf planet in 2006.) and 5 dwarf planets recognized by the IAU.

In prehistoric times, the first 7 planets (including Luna, our moon.) and the Sun were discovered. In the Copernican system, the Moon was considered to be no longer a planet. Luna was originally thought to be the only body in the system whose revolution was not centered on the Sun. The next 2 planets, Uranus (yuhr-uh-nus) and Neptune, weren't discovered until 1781, when Uranus was discovered, and 1846, when Neptune was discovered. Many of Jupiter's (Galilean moons) and Saturn's moons were discovered during the 1600s. In 1787, Uranus' first two moons, Titania and Oberon were discovered. 2 years later, Saturn has two more moons discovered. In 1801, Ceres was finally discovered by Giuseppe Piazzi, After Neptune was discovered in 1846, in the same year, Neptune's moon (Triton) was found. 2 years later, a moon of Saturn has been found. In 1851, Uranus has two more moons. In 1877, the two moons of Mars were finally founded by Asaph Hall. Years later, a moon of Jupiter and a moon of Saturn was discovered. Going to the 1900s, 4 more moons of Jupiter were found. Then in 1930, Pluto was found! But later on in 2006, after 76 years, Pluto was now considered a dwarf planet. Most of the dwarf planets were found in the 21st century.

system of checks and balances

Refers to a totally-legal but still-somewhat-devious practice of writing personal checks for comparatively-minuscule bills --- like maybe just two or three bucks for a bag of fresh vegetables from a roadside farm-stand --- instead of paying them in cash, and then secretly hoping that the checks’ recipients will not want to bother going to the extra effort of cashing said “tiny” checks, and thus your bank-account’s “balance” will be unaffected by your purchases.
Practicing the “system of checks and balances” can have varying degrees of success, depending on various factors, such as how strapped your checks’ recipients are for cash, how accustomed they are to cashing/depositing checks, or how willing/able they are to accept checks, especially for such paltry amounts (here’s where paying with checks at an unattended “drop the money in the slot” or “place the money in the cup/jar” merchandise-stand can be a good idea, since there will be nobody there to balk at your paying with a check). Extra points if you “embellish” the checks with flowery praising messages about how wonderful the sellers’ merchandise/service is, since it may stroke the people’s ego so much that they will prefer to “frame it rather than cash it” (again, especially since the check is for such a small amount, and so its value might likely not mean all that much to the person’s overall budget) when deciding what to do with your checks.

metric system

A system of measurement that is simpler than the imperial system but Americans won't adopt not because they're stupid but because it's too much effort and no individual could make the whole country work with it
I wish we used the metric system, but what can we do about it?
