ATMOSPHERE

1.I compared Queens, New York to Detroit, Michigan and Las Vegas, Nevada. The best air was Detroit. The worst air was Las vegas Nevada in Clark County from all the night life of down town by the strip.
2. Next i picked 3 states. I picked Florida, Michigan, and Oregon. The worst air was Florida. The best air was Oregon probably from all the nature!
3. I chose Chicago Illionois, the best time to visit is during the winter. The air is clean and fresh. The worst time to visit is the summer months like June, July, and, August. This is because the air is dirty from all the comotion down in the city in the summer.

The best city in michigan that has the best AQI reading would be Benton Harbor and Kalamazoo they both had 17's. The worst would be Saginaw. It has a 36 AQI number. I am doing this on Thursday November 19, 2009.

blackholes.



There are three types of black holes: stellar, supermassive, and miniature black holes, depending on their size. My favorite black hole is a Steller black hole because its small and light does not escape. They are hard to see and they are kind of a mystery! It's intresting to learn the size of them and what can go into them.

3 Facts
. The distance at which nothing can escape is called the Event Horizon.
. Black holes emit x-ray radiation and get smaller and smaller until they disappear.
. NO light can escape!


2 fiction
. The sun will become a black hole!
. Black holes are black inside.

Sunspots!

Sunspot 1029!!

People are intrested in the sunspot group because it has been the most active sunspot all year which is not good. They are also interested because it has C-class flares, which means its flares are small and you can see consequences here on the earth. People are interested in looking at this susnpot and to see if it gets any bigger, it's class goes up, and even if they can see anything from earth. There hasn't been many sunspots this year so they are keeping a close eye on 1029.

This is related to the deep solar minimum because astronomers are afraid that since this sunspot class is so low that we won't find anymore and that the sun might burn out. The sun has been in this for a couple of years. We haven't experienced very active sunspots and were're worried that we won't find anymore.

We care about sunspots on earth because ever since Galileo looked at the sun he calculated the sun spot cycle. It is 11 years long. If the sun spot number is low then it doesn't mess with the earth. If we have lots of sun spots then we are going to have crazy weather. The sun produces light for us. Which gives us heat to keep us warm and so that we have light during the day. If we didn't care then we won't have natural light and we would all freeze.

The sun affects me in two ways by:
it gives me a nice tan!
Also, it produces light and heat


Sunspots are super important if we don't have any sunspot the weather wouldn't be very nice here on Earth!
