Sun will die out as well. There nothing infinite in this Universe.

with Jupitar, and the Sun, we have an infite source of energy from our own universe, wo cares about the oil running out

It has 2.5 times the gravity of earth and a possible earth sized core, it would be uncomfortable to say the least.

That’s right, on …
That’s right, on the poles all kinds of weird things can be seen as the sun moves through such an extreme horizen.
December 24th, 2009 at 9:04 am
Yeah, the double …
Yeah, the double sunrise would. Maybe the sunset is the same? I know the sun ‘appears’” to do strange things if you go to Alaska, the North pole etc.

I’d say Jupiter …
I’d say Jupiter would be a pretty place to live.

If it is a stupid …
If it is a stupid question I have it too! How come other planets tke so much longer to rotate than Jupiter? THis is fascinating documentary, I am still not able to get my head around Mercury’s double sunrise. I think if you lived there (hypothetically speaking) and you watched the sun get up, then go back, then get up again, it would be freaky as hell.

The Sun really has …
The Sun really has nothing to do with the volcanic activity of Io (if it did, Mercury would still be volcanically active). Jupiter’s gravitational pull has much to do with Io’s volcanoes. Jupiter is made up of the same elements as the sun and gives off more heat than it absorbs. It’s really like a miniature solar system with its moons.
December 24th, 2009 at 9:04 am
this might be a …
this might be a stupid question to ask but, how come Jupiter turns on its axis to make a 10 hour day? and how come Io is vocanically active when its very far from the sun?

We pay for this …
We pay for this knowledge. We are invested in it. We are the ones who fund the missions that discover this stuff. I don’t work for Nasa. Nasa works for me.
Skepticism, poorly placed, is nothing more than solipsism. I believe in Neptune even though I’ll never see it with my naked eyes. I believe Napoleon existed even though I never met the man. You evaluate the source to make these assumptions, Biscuit. In this case, I think we can assume the source is legitimate.

Am I to believe …
Am I to believe that the use of the first person plural pronoun “we” is an indication that you work for NASA or perhaps the ESA?
December 24th, 2009 at 9:04 am
Well, thanks …
Well, thanks Anthony and DarkTemp0 for your informative if slightly aggressive answers. You obviously both revel in letting the lesser folk know how much you know. I know at face value my question seems rather naive, but the sentiment was one of wonder as opposed to ignorance. It was also a poorly thought out question, typed hurriedly as I felt the urge to comment. I should stress the importance of objectivity, not blindly believing everything you read or are told.
December 24th, 2009 at 9:04 am
We know this stuff, …
We know this stuff, Biscuit, because we look.
We have sent probes to every planet in the solar system and landed on or descended into three of them (Venus, Mars, and Jupiter). We’ve used an array of insturments, both ground based and in spacecraft, to measure their composition, temperature, magnetic fields, or lack thereof…really I could go on for an hour as to ‘how we know this stuff.’ What amazes me is how little interest most americans have in the topic. This is our solar system, folks.

I love learning about all of this stuff! It is so fascinating! The planets, black holes, nebula’s…….etc. I LOVE IT!
December 24th, 2009 at 9:04 am
know what ? the …
know what ? the details ? well … deep and long observations, spectrometry, dopler radiometry, probes, precise measurements, a whole lot of data collected over a whole lot of years, and recollected for more precise results.

You wanna see …
You wanna see wicked documentaries to watch baked. Watch Planet Earth and stuff like that. So awesome man.

agreed. this is trippy.

I dont smoke weed anymore but i am tempted to smoke a dooby and buzz the fck out on this shit

We take our …
We take our physical world for granted. The material universe has changed alot over 15 billion years. There was a time when there was no light, no atoms, and nearly as much anti-matter as matter.

That isn’t really a good enough answer.
