1. What are the four ways scientists can detect planets?

Radical velocity, Astrometry, transit method, Optical detection.
2. Which way makes the most sense to you? Explain it.
The transit method is when a planet blocks out a star, and you can see a black dot moving.


The Goldilocks Zone

3. Explain the concept of the "Goldilocks Zone."
To be close to it's home star so that the surface won't get to hot nor to cold.
4. If Gilese 581c does have life, what do you think it would look like? How would it act? Would it be intelligent? It might be just a big ocean with land underneath it. It would act like a ocean with vegitation underneath.

5. Do you believe in aliens? Why or why not? Give me a solid paragraph. Yes, because there are so many other planets and also solar systems, so there might be a good chance that there might be life on those planets. Not exactly the aliens we would think, but like tiny microorgnisms. Another thing is people say they have been adducted so that's an indicator to me.

1. What is the primary gas in the Jovian atmospheres? The primary gas is Hydrogen


2. What is the primary gas in Mars and Venus? The primary gas is Carbon dioxide
3. If you had to visit one planet, which would it be? Why? Give me a solid paragraph. (consider many factors such as location, temperature, atmosphere composition, and anything else you you feel is important) If I was to visit a planet I would say Pluto because it is an unexplored planet that pleople have not been to. I know that it's really cold, and I like cold places. Pluto might contain diffrent gases that we don't know of, and I would want to discover them myself.

Pluto

I found Pluto to be interesting because it's considered one of the smallest planet's we know today or a dwarf planet.Pluto is real far away from the sun where it gets really no heat what so ever. Pluto is made of gases like helium and hydrogen. which it can't support human life.

Asteroid Belt

The asteroid belt is a big ring or belt of asteroids. Asteroid's can differ in size from big tpo small. If they were to hit they would be knocked far away, or they would just collide with each other.

Apollo's Mission

The mission was to the moon and descover diffrent rocks and  to get samples.

Search for Aliens

Right now we are searching for aliens as we speak. We believe that planets with liquid water( not including earth) support alien life underneath the suface. But people say aliens come from Mars.

International Space Station

This space station cooperates with all tyhe diffrent nations. And they work together to discover diffrent characterisics of the planets.

1. Which blog was your best this quarter? Why? My best blog was number 4 because I enjoyed working on pollen because I never knew that there was diffrent types of pollen. We looked at diffrent pictures and researched a specific type of pollen and where it came from.


2. What topic did you enjoy learning about the most (from chapter 17-20)? Why? Include a picture.
I liked learning about the clouds because their are so many types of patterns of clouds and the types of weather they bring.

3. What grade do you deserve for your 3rd Quarter Blogs? (Keep in mind some basic math. If you only did 3 out of 6 of them you cannot earn above a 50%.) I think I deserve a 100% because I did all my blogs, and I worked hard on them. I didn't rush through them or anything. Yet I also enjoyed doing them.

Atmosphere wordle

Pollen Problem !

Check out Fayetteville's pollen forecast. Which is affecting us the most right now: tree, grass, or weed pollen? Specifically, which trees, grasses, or weeds?
Trees


2. "You're Surrounded by Pollen," so read this article. What is needed for a "perfect storm" of pollen?

Dry windy weather, and a long cold winter.

3. Choose a microscopic image of pollen. Which one looks the best to you? Why? Where is this pollen commonly found? Write a paragraph in your own words explaining this specific type of pollen. Include a cool-looking picture. You may need to use other websites to help you.
 

Onagraceae Pollen

 

Onagraceae Pollen are found in the certain type of flower called Oenothera fruticosa. The flower is located in all these states (AL, AR, CT, DC, DE, FL, GA, IL, IN, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, NC, NH, NJ, NY, OH, OK, PA, RI, SC, TN, VA, WV). The flower is a bright yellow. And the Pollen doesn't contain any startch.

Matter

1. What are the five states of matter?

Solids, liquids, gases, plasmas, and Bose-Einstein condensates
2. What is needed to change a gas into a plasma?
Energy
3. What is the temperature at "absolute zero?" (in Farenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin)
Kelvin=  0. Celsius=  -273.15 Farenheit = -459.67





4. What is the temperature in space? (in Kelvin)
The tempreture in space is 3 in kelvin
5. What do you think plasma would like look/smell/feel/taste?
plasma would look like a shinny glowing colored bar, it would smell like a very hot light bulb, it will feel like you are burning alive, and it would taste like hot rocks and sand.
