Connection of 2 Green Book Climate Labs
In Activity One we learned about heat absorption in water, light soil, and dark soil. Dark soil heated up the quickest and gradually dropped temp. Water took longest to heat up but kept its heat the most. Light soil was in between both during heating up and cooling down. I knew the dark soil would heat up the fastest but i was clueless on how the water would react at all.
Activity Four, was on how the climate heated up with the Dark soil A, Dark Soil with Clouds B, Light Soil C, Light Soil with Clouds D, Water E, water with clouds F. The results where close to Activity 1 except the ones with clouds had an increase in temp. I got the data i excpected since i knew prior to this about the basics because of Activity 1.
The Small scale labs where a very good example of how Earth's climate works. It helped me understand how in different parts of the world would have a certain type of climate based on their soil and if they had clouds. The climate with light soil and no clouds would resemble drought the most. It has heat but not too much and during the night it gets really cold because there isn't any moisture or clouds in the air to keep the warm in.

Bad Atronomy Blog
Two fact that I had are:
1. People use telescopes to see stars in space.
2. The sun would increase the temperature of the comet that is exposed to it.
I was right about these things because I have witnessed seeing stars through a telescope. Also the first temp of a comet that was measured was 700 farenheit. This was hot and it was caused by the sun and the reflectivity of the comet itself.
Two things i found that were wrong were:
1. The astronuat whose face was burned would get burned worse.
2. The Comet wouldn't make sound
I was wrong in the 1st one because in Bad Astronomy, the said that it wouldn't have been as bad. In the 2nd one I was right because sound needs a medium to travel through and there isn't air in space to make the sounds.
What if the Sun Turned into a Black Hole
What I think Before: I think that the solar system (trom mercury to pluto) will be sucked into it and turn into nothingness.
I learned: that the gravity on Earth wouldn't change. i also learned that until you get to about 700000 km the gravity would be the same, but after that it would the tides of the oceans on the Earth could rip you apart.
