  1. The universe did not stay in a tiny little sphere because things started to form. For instance, moons and planets and stars started to appear. Also, it was a lot of gases mixed together.
  2. I will die, there is no way out once you get snatched in. It has so much gravity that once your in there you are just gone forever.
  3. It could take a journey as if i was starting in one place in space and ending there. A very long time. Id think you would die also, but it would be a slower process. Then again, i think they are very hard to predict.

  1. Four ways scientists can detect planets are radial velocity, astrometry, transit method, and optical detection.
  2. Optical detection makes the most sense because, planets don't give off there own light and the light waves dont line up with the rest of them.
  3. The Goldilocks Zone is a area in space in which a planet is the right distance from its home star. The surface is not to hot nor to cold.
  4. It is not gonna be much bigger than earth, it would be very different than what im used to. Also, it has an longer orbit period than planet Earth. To me, it would not be intelligent because it has to much that is with it.
  5. No, i do not believe in Aliens. Those things are to much for my ears. From what i know they cant do anything to help me in life, so i see no point in believing in them. No one really talks of them unless there watching a movie.

1. The primary gas in the Jovian planets is Hydrogen.

2. The primary gas in Mars and Venus is Carbon Dioxide.

3. If i could visit any one of the planets i would take a visit to, Saturn. I would go to saturn because the name is unique and it is something different. Also because it is the most massive planet. Also Saturn has 31 known satelites. The temperature is almost alright.

Saturn's Rings
Saturn was surrounded by a solid ring. It Is divided in to 5 major components. Those components are the G,C,F,A and B rings. The gap that is between the A and the B ring is called the Cassini division. The F ring is exceedingly faint and closet to the planet. Another thing is that the F ring is a narrow feature just outside the A ring. Sometimes you will see Saturn's rings illuminated by the sun. The outer ring is kept close by the gravitational interaction of two small shepherd moons.
Mars
Mars is known as the "Red Planet". It is called the Red Planet because it commonly appears with a red tinge when it is in the sky. It is the fourth planet from the sun. The rocks and soil have a red hue to them. The atmosphere of mars is different that the one of earth. It is the only planet whose surface can be seen in detail from the earth. Another thing is that Mars has the largest canyon in the solar system.
pluto
Pluto was discovered in 1930. It is 2/3 the size of earth's moon. It is also the farthest known planet from the sun. Pluto has one moon named Charon. Pluto was named after the God Of The Underworld. Also, it has no rings. Charon, pluto's moon appears to be stationary in the sky. Now Pluto is classified as the "dwarf planet". Furthermore, Pluto is smaller than seven of the solar system's moon.s
Asteroid Belt
The asteroild belt is a region between the inner/outer planets where thousands of asteroids are found orbitting around the sun. The main asteroid belt is located between Mars and Jupiter. Good thing is that the total mass of all the asteroids is less than that of a moon. Most of the Asteroid belts are rocky.
Kupier Belt
A kupier belt is a region of space along ecliptic on the outside of Neptune. It contains planetesimals and also contains countless comets and "super comets". The kuiper belt is also rocky.
