My Fav 5

Milky Way Galaxy

• When I first learned of this "Milky Way", I tought the the person that made the comment meant a candy bar. At the time I knew for sure that there was no such thing as a milky way, at least not in our outer space. Well, as I got older, I learned different. The only reason they called this galaxy the "Milky Way" is because, it is white and from afar looks like powdered milk. Well this is what I was taught, and I'm sticking to it.

Asteroid Belt

• I learned that the asteroid belt is nothing more than a ring that consist of alot of comets and asteroids in one big area. Well I learned this when I was younger, if it's true or not I dont know. I think the teachers were just being plain out lazy. Well, any ways, in my opinion I find the asteroid belt very interesting. I often wonder where comets and astros come from. I do believe I found out where. But I'm eager to learn more.

Star Constellation

• I found the star constellation the most interesting, simply because I focus on it all the time. What I mean by that is many people often ask "What is your sign?", well, I know from the constellation that I am a gemini. Some people over look this alot but I dont. Star constellation where horoscopes first originated from. Bet you didnt know that did you. Often at night, when it's not to cold out side, I go out and look up at the stars for a little while. I love the sky during the day and at night. I love the night more, because of the constellations. I often try to find certain stars but I can not. The only one I have ever been able to find is the "Big Dipper". Every one knows the story behind that. In my opinion, stars are the most beautiful thing in our atmosphere at night.

Telescopes

• With out telescopes, our previous astrology researchers would have been clueless without this device. It would have many years to come before we would have know what the galaxy looked like just from Earth. That is why I am glad that we have N.A.S.A. They are a big help. I use to have a telescope from scholastic, I loved it until I tried to use it to look at the stars. I found out that it was fake. I lost my temper and destroyed it. Dont ask why.

The Moon

• The moon is what we see every night when we go to bed. If it were not for street lights, and etc., the moon and stars would be our only source of light. It would be a very poor source. Back in 1968, Neil Armstong, was the first man to ever step foot on the moon. Many people never thought it would be possible. I thought it was pretty cool to see him blast off to the moon. Even though I was not alive then, I saw the t.v. program on it. Pretty cool huh.

The Factors

1. What 3 factors effect wind?

• Pressure Differences
• Coriolis Effect
• Friction

2. Which of the 3 do you think has the greatest effect? Why?

• Pressure differences, because it is what brings bad or good weather.

3. What would happen if this factor (from #2) all of a sudden stopped? Remember to include details about what might happen in your response.

• The earth would have a steady temperature each day, all over the planet. I do not think this would beneficial. If this would happen plants and many animal species would probably not survive, or they would have to adapt rather quickly.
