Extrasolar Planets

1. The four ways would be Radial Velocity,Astrometry,transit mathod, optical detection

2. Radial Velocity makes since to me because it explains how the stars are positioned becuses of a plane's gravity pulling towards them.

3. The concept of the Goldilocks Zone, is to find expoplanets that have charactersitics of the Earth and that contains life.

4. Gilese would have normal temperatures like Earth. The stars would be very close to Earth. It would look like very normal humans. Play, talk regulary.

5. I really do not believe in aliens because there was really no evidence found to actually prove that there were aliens. Because of this, astronomers were having such confusion, and debate.As of today I do not consider to believe that aliens live.

1. the primary gas of the jovian planets is hydrogen

2.the primary gas of mercury and venus is carbon dioxide

3. I would want to visit Mars. Because it has very hot temperatures. It is also, considered as the Red Planet. Mars is like the third planet closest to the sun. Mars is a awesome planet to visit.

My Favorite Astronomy Topics

1. The Milky Way Galaxy contains the solar system. The Milky Way is made up of millions of stars.The discovery of the Milky Way was discovered by an ancient greek philosopher.The Milky Way is 13 billion years old.The Milky Way is also part of the Universe.

2. The rings of Saturn, is divided into 5 groups( G,F,A,B,C) rings. The F and G rings are very thin and very hard to see. However, the A,B,C rings are very easy to see. The large gap between A and B is called the Cassani Division. The rings can not be solid, because of the Roche limit.

3. The Moon is the only satellite for Earth. The Moon has been known ever since pre-historic times. It is the second brightest object in the solar system after the sun.The first visit of the Moon was in 1959.It's first landing was on July 20, 1969.

4. Andromeda Galaxy is the Milky Way's sister. This galaxy has more stars than the Milky Way. The Andromeda Galaxy and Milky Way are the largest galaxies. The Andromeda Galaxy has a spiral structure. The Andromeda Galaxy was called Great Adromeda Neuble.

5. The Hubble Telescope is a powerful orbiting telescope that provides better images. It is named after an American astronomer Edwin P. Hubble. Astrnomers use this telescope to get images of celestial objects. The telescope launched in the 1990s circling Earth high above.

My Grade


1. Blog Post # 5, the wordle, because I like that we got to design our own puzzle and we got to choose our own words

2.Chapter 19, understanding air pressure, because I enjoyed learning about the earth's rotation, enjoyed learning about the factors of effecting wind.

3. I think I deserve a 100% because all of my blogs are completed.

Blog Post # 4


1. oak tree is the most affecting Fayetteville

2. dry, windy weather would cause a perfect storm of pollen

3.04 ConvolvulaceaePollon, I think this is the best looking based on the shaped.It is mostly

found in thailand. This pollen type of pollen is very spiky. I really like the name of this pollen

1. five states of matter are solids,liquids,gases,plasmas,and Bose Elistein.

2. need to add heat or energy to change a gas

3. the temperature would be in Kelvin K.

4. the temperature in space would be 3 degrees

5. I think the plasma has a foul nasty smell as well as the Bose Elistein.
