Domain Eukarya, kingdom Animalia (Metazoa), phylum Chordata, class Mammalia, order Primates, family Hominidae, genus Homo, species Homo sapiens, subspecies Homo sapiens sapiens... essentially. I have a Master's Degree in Atmospheric science, which doesn't entitle me to be generous with my opinion, but my sense of self importance does! I love writing, I love science, I love reading, but I'm not nuts about long walks on the beach. Short to medium walks are preferable. This is my blog and I have something important to say: https://whybecausescience.wordpress.com/ View all posts by Thea Beckman
Reblogged this on Kerberos616.
Is this really true? Looks shady
Yes it’s true. Why does it look shady?
To me, am not really a science guy.. So does it mean some of the planet spins slower on their axis and others faster..
That’s exactly right. See? You are a science guy after all!
I would NOT want to be on Jupiter with a 9 hour work day…
Well, if the length of a total day on Jupiter is 10 hours then technically you’d only spend about 1/3 of that actually working. So a “working day” would be closer to 3 hours, in which case you’re winning!
However, I’d think that Jupiter’s perpetually raging sulphurous superstorms would be more of an inconvenience than he length of a working day 😉
Would we live longer on Mercury?;)
If we could get past the lack of atmosphere, daytime temperatures of +400 deg C and night time temperatures of -170 deg C… then sure! Why not? 😉
