**Extrasolar planets-- Exoplanets~


1. Radial velocity, astrometry, transit method, optical detection.

2. Astrometry makes the most sense to me, because they can measure's a star's movement and deduct that from the total mass.

3. The Goldilocks zone is when a planet is a reasonable distance from its home star where it's surface doesn't get too cold or too hot. Which leads people to believe liquid water may exist on that planet.

4. I think the life would be far different than ours because it's immune to different things, so what ever is most common on that planet is what they're going to be use to. I think they're going to be a lot smaller than humans, a lot uglier, and far more advanced than we are. To me they would be said to be smart, because if they do exist, they sure did keep there existence secret for a long period of time. Which is far more than we, as humans, could say about our existence.

5. I do believe in aliens, I just think they're are smarter than humans. Because if aliens do exist than they've been able to keep they're identity secret from humans, who claim to be the smartest species to ever step on earth. Imagine if aliens could prove them wrong! Another reason I think we never see aliens is because they know the human race will want to experiment on them, ask them constant questions, try to learn they're language and ask them about the planet they came from. Even a smart alien would could tired of being examined like a new animal or unique plant. Alien are just plain GENIUSES.

1. The primary gas in the Jovian planets is hydrogen.
2. The primary gas in Mars and Venus is carbon dioxide.
3. If I could visit a planet is would be Mars. I want visit Mars because I think it would be cool to explore the volcano Olympus Mons. Because of how big it is said to be. Especially if it is the size of Ohio and extremely tall. I don't know if it would be possible for me to visit Mars, but I think it would be highly likely because Mars is mostly made of carbon dioxide.

Muh 5 choices; before thee REAL project-! ; *

1. Pluto is the ninth planet in the solar system, it is neither a Jovian planet nor a Terrestrial planet; it is considered a dwarf planet. A dwarf planet is a very small, some say miniature planet. Pluto was discovered in the year 1930s, but even though it was discovered in the 1930 there is very limited information on Pluto.

2. Mars is the fourth planet from the sun. It is commonly refered to as the red planet. It is home the a very huge volcano, Olympus Mons. And scientist and astronouts say that it may be the first planet other that earth that will have humans on it. Mars is the furthermost terrestrial planet.

3. Big Bang Theory is a theory that explains how the universe begin. It started from a small piece of matter that had a high temperature and a high density. Eventually that piece of matter started to expanded very quickly and the universe started to form. After a while the expansion process slowed and now we have today. Even though the universe is still expanding it is not nearly as fast as it was when it first started to expand.

4. Dwarf planets are extremely small planets a little bit bigger than planetesmials. Dwarf planets tend to be futher away from the sun making them a lot colder than most planets. One very known dwarf planet is Pluto. Some people say that Pluto can be considered a terrestrial planet but pluto is entirely to small to be a terrestrial planet, as are many dwarf planets. There are 5 known dwarf planets in the solar system.

5. Hubble's telescope was the first telescope in space. It was named after the Edwin Hubble who discoved evidence to support the Big Bang Theory. Hubble's telescope was sent into space to discover any information that scientist didn't know or wanted to verify. Hubble's telescope was the first to get information and have it back up by the science of space.

This semester; how GUDD ii was. ! *


1. Once again I would have to say my favorite blog was woordle, because I had a fun time finding words that I felt were important to the chapter(s) we were on. But most of all I loved experimenting with the color schemes.

2. My favorite chapter was chapter 17, because I loved learning about radiation, conduction, and especially convection which was my favorite out of all of them.
3. I think I deserve a 100%, I did all my blogs on time, and they all answer the questions you asked when that particular blog was assigned. I did everything expected of me and that is why I think I deserve a 100% as my grade.

~Pollen is everywhere.-- Disgusting ; *


1. Tree pollen is effecting us the most right now. The most active tree is the oak tree.

2. When plants and trees grow simultaneously; dry, windy weather. All this causes a perfect season for pollen.

3. The pollen that comes from sunflowers, morning glory, hollyhock, lilies, primrose and caster beans. I like this one because it looks like little tiny rocks that are found at beaches and sidewalks, and bathroom tile. It looks really cool. Sunflowers are commonly found in the Great Plains States. This type of pollen is found in various types of flowers. But is commonly found in found in sunflowers.

-- States of Matter; and moree.~

1. The five states of matter are: solid, liquid, gases, plasmas, and bose-Einstein condensates.

2. In order to change a gas into a plasma you need physical forces.

3. The temperature at absolute zero in fahrenheit is: -459.67 degrees; the temperature at absolute zero in celsius is: -273.15 degrees; and the temperature at absolute zero in kelvin is: 0 degrees.

4. The temperature in space is: 3 degrees.

5. Plasma would taste syrup, would look like neon lights, smell toxic, and taste weird; Bose-Einstein would taste
