Sorry that it has taken so long to write this next blog, but we've been busy in the computer lab doing those power points. You all did a great job. You can do so much more than what we had time for. Don't be afraid to play with it.
So as we leave astronomy behing we're going start exploring meteorology. This week we will be looking at our atmosphere. It is very different from the rest our solar system's planets. We have talked a little about air pressure and some gasses found on other planets and now we'll get a chance to really explore those things in depth. Our atmosphere holds our weather and we need to understand it before we can start trying to predict what is going to happen there. I am sure you will find this topic very interesting.

ive been sick over this week but is it true that if you are standing in a puddle when its lightning out are you most likley to get struck than if you were standing under a pavillion
I BELIEVE SINCE WATER IS SUCH A GOOD CONDUCTOR OF ELECTRICITY SWIMMING OR EVEN BEING IN A PUDDLE DURING A LIGHTNING STORM IS VERY DANGEROUS.

you know today's lesson, about colors of the rainbow? Well i was wondering, since the wave are slower for red is that why its on the outside of a rainbow, cause it takes a lot of time to stretch all the way around the circle? Just like violet, it moves so fast it has a short trail? Please answer im stumped
GREAT QUESTION JESSICA. THINK OF A RAINBOW BEING CREATED FROM THE OUTSIDE IN. SINCE VIOLET MOVES THE FASTEST IT ACTUALLY CAN MOVE TO THE CENTER THE QUICKEST AND RED IS TRAVELING SLOWER AND DOESN'T MAKE IT AS FAR SO IT APPEARS ON THE OUTSIDE.

ok! I just went to the site you recomended for Jess Sowa! Here is a tid bit of info. You know that light travels at 186,000 miles per second. right? Ok now it takes the sun's rays 8 min. to reach the Earth's surface. If the sun blew up when would we find out?...................................................................................................................................................... ANSWER! we would find out 8 min. later! We actually see the sun how it was 8 min. ago!
Thankyou Hunter and Armani for finding sites.
