Hypothesis
A hypothesis I have is that if space technology continues to improve scientists will discover more planets similar to the ones we have and learn more about the planets atmospheres.We could also discover more galaxies and even discover new things
Research
Scientists have used powerful telescopes and space missions to learn more about planets in our solar system.For example the Hubble space telescope and the James Webb telescope with allowed researchers to study atmospheres and temperatures.Scientists have discovered several exoplanets by using advanced detection.With these discoveries they helped scientists understand gravity,a planets from etc.
Variables
The independent variable for my topic advancing knowledge on planets is space probes and rovers.The dependent variable is how much we know about the atmosphere of the planets.Last but not least the control variable with is the goal of learning more about the planets in our universe
Procedure
To advance knowledge on planets first you would need to somehow find a way to advance our knowledge for example using technology that was advanced such as telescopes, rovers and rockets.After that you would need to choose your planet then the equipment would be used to get more information on the planet.Research could possibly find information that we don’t already have or more clear answers of planets.Finally you would create a diagram,chart or list of all the information that was found during the research
Observations
Scientists have observed that planets are very different from each other.Like how some planets are small and rocky like Earth while others planets are large gas planets and how some planets are extremely hot and others are freezing cold.By using more improved equipment we can observe planets better such as their temperature,atmosphere,water vapor and more.
Analysis
Our current technology shows us that if new and improved technology is made then it would advance our knowledge on space and get quicker results.Such as James Webb space telescope that allows scientists to to study the planets atmospheres and detect important gases from far away.When analyzing it scientists can compare the planets and learn more about it
Conclusion
In conclusion advancing knowledge on planets helps us understand the solar system better.One way we can do this is by advancing technology like sensors,rovers and rockets.This benefits us by giving us a better understanding and answer unanswered questions.
Application
The knowledge researchers will find could be used in several different ways.Study the planets could be use for future planet missions since researchers are already aware of whats on the planet.If technology gets improved the weather forecast predictions will be more accurate.Another way we could also use this is improved other things such as vehicles,boats and planes because if technology gets improved they would most likely be able to figure out how to advance other things
Sources Of Error
Some sources of errors could possibly happen such as unclear information, misinformation,small errors,etc.Scientists could get unclear information if the equipment they are is weak.The technology that they would be using would also have a limit so the information they get might not be that clear.Another error they can make is understand the results quickly and measuring mistakes.

Acknowledgement
I would like to thank my science teacher for guiding me and explaining so i could understand better.Someone else I would like to thank is my friend would believe that I could finish all the work in time and motivated me to complete what needed to be completed.Finally I would appreciate the people who created the information on the websites so that I could understand and use some of it.
