If there are an infinite number of stars out there in this great big universe, then where are all the alien races? Why have they not contacted us yet? Why are we not picking up any ET signals? This can only mean one thing: We ARE alone in this universe. It must truly be a lonely place indeed. If not, then we are the only intelligent beings in existence? This'll also be pretty lonely for us. Does any1 agree?

When you leave the Earths atmosphere and enter space, is there a definitive line between the atmosphere and space, or do you pass through them gradually. Sorry if this seems a bit vague but i'm not sure how to word it.

I read this on the internet.

The Earth is closest to the Sun (this is called perihelion) around January 2 each year (91.4 million miles = 147.1 million km); it is farthest away from the Sun (this is called aphelion) around July 2 each year (94.8 million miles = 152.6 million km).

so how come it's freezing cold on jan and superhot on july?
