I'm not sure what that's from... But it's 12:25 and I have an appointment with the orthopedic surgeon at 9:30 so \I'm going to sleep.

One last thing that pisses me off, planetary designation. Whae I was your age, Pluto was a planet.

Uggh i had to make a scale model of the planets distances and sizes last week.

lucky the frame was made of pvc and i made a little soda can stand so i can put soda cans at shooting hight

thats imposible....

if earth was 1 inch in diameter, pluto would be a quarter mile away...

Maybe he meant that the planet's sizes had to be to scale, and the distance between planets was to scale, but the distance between the planets relative to their size was not to scale.

Well building it to scale would pose problems as well. The sun is about 108 times the diameter of earth and about 625 times the diameter of Pluto. wait, Pluto doesn't matter anymore... Dangit.

Well if the Earth was an inch in diameter as you stated above, the sun would have to be 9 feet (~3 meters) wide.

we didnt have to do the sun, or pluto. and our science teacher seemed happy enough that we didnt make paper circles and call them a model.

Yup ours was the best in the class, the scale was 1cm=25,000,000.
It ended up around being 9 feet.

What are you talking about bashing? I say that to people all the time. I was bashing the factthat Pluto isn't considered a planet anymore. It pisses me off. You really need to take a minute to think before you post something idiotic man.

Pluto was a planet till like 2 or 3 years ago. Now its a peice of crap little comet or asteroid or meteor or whatever you call it.

Scientest who call uranus UR-AH-NUS instead of YOUR-ANUS get me anoyed.
