Planet Quest
1. What are the four ways scientists can detect planets?
Radial Velocity, Astrometry, transit method, Optical Detection
2. Which way makes the most sense to you? Explain it.
Astrometry because it's basically math in some sense.
The Goldilocks Zone

3. Explain the concept of the "Goldilocks Zone."
Like the land is not to hot and not 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?
5. Do you believe in aliens? Why or why not? Give me a solid paragraph
(1)Radio Velocity, Astrometry, Transit Method, and Optical Detection are the four ways scientists detect planets.
(2) The One That Makes The Most Sense To Me Is Optical Detection. It Basically Puts a Thing In Front On The Sun That Blocks The Light And It Reveals Hidden Planets.


(3) The Concept Of The Goldilocks Zone Is That This Area Is Just Right. Its Not Too Cold And Its Not To Hot.

(4) If Gilese 581c Did Have Human-Life Then It Would Not Only Just Be Water But There WOuld Soon Be Human Made Land. And It Would Look Similar To Our Planet, Earth. And I Believe It Would Act As Earth Too. Im Not Soo Sure If It Would Be Intlligent Or Not Because There COuld Be A Lot Advantages And Disadvantages Follwed

(5)I really do not know what to believe because if alliens did exsist how would we be ale to detect them like how do they think? what do they eat, etc?

1. What is the primary gas in the Jovian atmospheres?
It's hydrogen


2. What is the primary gas in Mars and Venus?
carbon dioxide
3. If you had to visit one planet, which would it be? Why? Give me a solid paragraph.
pluto because itd so far away so I could look out and see all the planets and I would be solitary from all the others because of my distance plus it's so small so I could be the king and still control it and it would be pretty cool to go to a planet that nobodies ever been on.

5five5 topic

1. Black holes are regions of space that has so much mass concentrated in it that there is no way for a nearby object to escape its gravitational pull. There size can vary in size, but typical one is 10 times the size of sun.


2. The moon is the brightest object in the sky but gives off no light of its own but reflects light off the sun. Its much smaller than Earth and is only 27% of its radius. The light parts of the moon were flooded by lava when volcanoes erupted millions of years ago.

3. Milky Way Galaxy is the home of the Solar System and 200 billion other stars and their planets. Its a giant and has almost one trillion solar masses.

4.Worm holes- A hypothetical "tunnel" connecting two different points in space such a way that a trip through the wormhole could take much less time than a journey between the same starting and ending points in normal space. The ends of a wormhole could, in theory, be intra-universe.




5.Dark energy- In the context of dark energy, the cosmological constant is a reservoir which stores energy. Its energy scales as the Universe expands. Applied to the supernova data, it would distinguish effects due to the matter in the Universe from those due to the dark energy. Unfortunately, the amount of this stored energy required is far more than observed and would result in very fast acceleration. So much so that the stars and galaxies would not form.

1. Which blog was your best this quarter? Why?


I think the wordle is my best blog this quarter because it deals with the art and I like art.
2. What topic did you enjoy learning about the most (from chapter 17-20)? Why? Include a picture.

chapter 20 because it deals with wheather patterns and severe storms and plus I think tornadoes are cool because they destroy everything o yeah.
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 at least a 94 but not a 100 because nobody is perfect so yeah thats why I believe I deserve the grade I said.

1. 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 and to be specific the oak trees.


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

Couple that with dry, windy weather, and you have a perfect storm of pollen

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.
 
because it has all diffrent types of pollen and that my man looks cool in microscopic form.
Pollen from a variety of common plants: sunflower and sunflowers are mostly found in north and south dakota,and Sunflower pollen can produce an allergic reaction. Symptoms vary but may include itching, wheezing and headache.

plasma

1. What are the five states of matter?
2. What is needed to change a gas into a plasma?
3. What is the temperature at "absolute zero?" (in Farenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin)
4. What is the temperature in space? (in Kelvin)
5. What do you think plasma would like look/smell/feel/taste? How about Bose-Einstein Condensates? Do some research on other sites, but ultimately come up with your own unique answer :)

              1.Solids, liquids, gases, plasmas, and boseinstein condensates.


2.physical force

3.farenheit is -459.67 degrees. celsuis is -273.15 degrees. kelvin is 0 degrees

4. its three degrees

5. I don't think plasma would have a taste, feel hot, smell chemically, and look like a gas. Bose-Einstein Condensates would not have a taste, feel cold, smell chemically, and look like a gas.
