2. I would want to think that if I was sucked into a black hole that I would spin down a tunnel and just drop in the middle of another planet with life similar to humans, if not the actual species. But, I think that if I touched a black hole that it would instantaneously compact me down to the size of an atom. So, I think I am going to stay away from black holes for the time being.
3. i have always wanted to travel in time so when I learned that Worm holes could possibly do that, I was flabbergasted. If I were to go into a worm hole, I could only trael into the future, so I would probably go to 3000 to see if 1. we were still alive a s a race, and 2. if Futurama was actually accurate. I would travel to New York City or New New York City, (what ever they would call it by then) and have the best time of my life, eating new kinds of delicious foods and maybe bowling on clouds or something fun like that.

2. I think astrometry is the best because it is very precise.
3. It is the are in space where a planet isn't too cold or too hot.
4. I think they would exactly like us, just they are our evil twin. There of course would be good people too, because the people on Earth who are evil would be good on Gilese 581c. There would be no government and society because everything would be chaotic. I think that, just like Earth, some people will be smart and some people won't be. I think it would be the parallel to Earth, so that is why intellect will differ.
5. I think there is the possibility of life, as long as a planet meets two certain requirments.Those requirements are that it is never or rarley too hot or too cold, and that there is water or something that can sustain life. This is very rare of course. I think that there is life out there, but it is not extremley likely.That is what I think aboutlife out there.

1.Hydrogen
2 Carbon Dioxide.
3. I want to live on Mercury for many reasons. The biggest reason is that there is a lot of helium there and I like the way my voice sounds on helium. It would probably kill a lot of brain cells but that's one of the only set backs. Well, another bigone is that is gets extremely hot in the day time and extremely cold at night. So, it would probably be very hard to live there, but it's worth trying.

Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system. It is the fifth planet from the sun and is known for having a huge red hole that is 2 and a half times the size of Earth. It is a high pressure zone, so there are anticyclones there. It is the first of the Jovian planets which are also known as the "Gas Giants,". Although Jupiter is known for its giant red spot, it also has rings.
Sun
The Sun is the only star in our solar system. We think it's the biggest star in the universe, but it's not. It only looks bigger because it is closer to us than all the other stars. It is closet to Mercury and furthest from Neptune of all of our planets. Without the Sun there is no way we can survive.
Mars
Mars is the fourth planet in our soar system and falls behind Earth in Volume. It is also the closest planet to Earth so we can see it relatively well.Only the Moon is more
"brilliant then Mars.When we talk about "Martians" we are talking about possible life from there. We have never been to Mars, but have sent robots there. President Obama has also expressed intrest in sending astronauts there eventually.
Black Hole
A black hole is simply a hole in the universe that drags everything that touches it in . Some people have speculated that if we would touch it that we would be dragged into another universe. Others think you would just die a really quick and painful death. I, personally, don't want to check it out for myself; I am great here on Earth.
Pluto
Pluto used to be considered a Planet but as of 2006, it was down-graded to a dwarf planet. There were many things that compelled scientists to change Pluto's categorization. Some of them include that Pluto is extremley small, is partially made of ice, and that it's most abundant element isn't Hydrogen like the other Jovian planets; it is Nitrogen. I wish Pluto could be a Planet again, but then we would have to include all of the other dwarf planets that meet what Pluto meets.

2.Higher energy is needed to turn a gas into a plasma.
3. Kelivin= 0 Farenheit=-459.67 Celsius=-273.15
4. 3 degrees
5. Plasm- It looks very bright, it smells like what ever is underneath it, and it feels very hot. Bose-Einstein condensates are very cold and if we were able to see it, it would look like a blob.

2. Geothermal A/C uses the Earth's heat to heat and cool the school.
3. I chose climate change.
4. It is causing the air and water to get warmer, which makes icebergs melt, creating higher water levels.
5. Climate change is a huge problem in our world. It is causing animals to loose their homes and even die. Many animals, like polar bears, are becoming extinct! We need to do something! Not only should we cap omissions made by factories, but we should limit the amount of travel we make by motor vehicle. Instead of flying to a buisness meeting in California, have a web confrence. Instead of driving your car to your friends block a few blocks away, ride your bike their. Plus, you'll get exercise; it's a win-win!

2. Since I have done them all and I am almost positive I have done them correctly (sorry though about them not being in order), I believe I deserve a 100. But like last time, some blogs are better than others, so if you would base it on consistancy on how good they are, I think I deserve a 96 or 97.
3. I really liked chapters 14 and 16, but if I had to choose one, I would choose chapter 16 because I love learning about the ocean. I know this chapter doen't deal with actual animals, but I have always been intrested in Marine Biology, so this is the second best thing. I liked learing about different types of tides and how they moved. I learned about how deep they are and what temperature they usually are. What I found extremley interesting was the Moon's affect on our tides. I liked the connection you made to Family Guy with Peter's gravitational pull : ).

2. His thesis is that an asteroid hitting Earth "is the only plausable explanation fr this"
3.I kind of agree with it but yet I also disagree. I believe that the Ice Age, or the mass freezing over a huge part of the world killed the dinosaurs, but the asteroid did cause the Ice Age, so it did infact have a huge part in killing the dinosaurs.

Black scientists+ their inventions/findings= great contributions to the world
2.Henry Sampson made the cellular phone, J. Standard made the refrigerator, and T. Elkins made the toilet.
3. Thomas J. Martin created the fire estinguisher. It is significant because without it, many people would be defenseless if there was a fire.

2.I would have to dig my way through 6,378 km of rock in order to get to the mantle.
3.If I was approaching the mantle on the way to China, I would see a lot of iron and hot rocks. If I went to the outer core, it would be like a swimming pool because it is liquid. The inner core would be harder to break through because it is solid. When I come back up to the surface, I would have to break through a relatively light layer of rock that s right below the litosphere.

I know you are looking for a car and I have found the one for you! It is affordable, safe, good looking, and has great gas mileage! You might be thinking "That seems to good to be true," but it's not! The car I am talking about is the 2010 Toyota Yaris. It is under thirteen-thousand dollars and has about 45 miles per hout. i suggest we go out and buy one now!
