Imagine there is a cave that stretches from the core of mars all the way to its surface. Given the density of the atmosphere at the surface and Mars' known gravity, at what depth below the surface would the mars atmosphere reach standard pressure?

Black body Spectrum... plzz help?

The spectrum of a typical star may be approximated as that of a blackbody spectrum with absorbtion lines superimposed on it .

can anyone plz explain
a) the origin of this black body spectrum and of the absorption lines
b) why the spectrum of a typical distant galaxy will look similat to the spectrum of a typical star and also state in the way it will differ.

With more and more people being born and more and more trees are grown it adds weight to our planet.
Yes people and trees die but there is still weight after buriel, cremation. As for trees they rot and grow foliage every year still adding weight.
With all this in mind do you think all the extra weight it could affect how our planet orbits the sun? Will we be in danger in generations to come?

slows down, or the gravity decreases. Thanks.

We learned in 7th grade science this year, that there are types of bacteria that can lay dormant for years in the most harsh of enviorments. Could that be the case for mars.

Is it all still black/white or in color? Do you just see a few planets a little better or also even nebulas?
Thinking about getting one, but if they're not that great I guess I'm going to stick with the skywatch events in my city.

My friend and I were having a disccusion on Jupiter, and then came the whole age thing, so I looked up on the internet, and found an intresting artilce from National Geographic.

"The planet Jupiter has a moon named Io. Io is the only other object in our solar system besides earth that is known to have active volcanoes on its surface. Io's volcanoes, however, are much bigger than ours.

One of Io’s volcanoes ejects material 240 miles above its surface. Looking from the surface of Io, our sun looks like a star point in our sky. The heat of our sun cannot possibly warm Io sufficiently to cause volcanoes. Io is much smaller than earth. The smaller an object is, the faster it loses heat. Volcanism on Io proves that Io is young. The remnant heat inside Io must come from the time of its initial creation with cooling occurring in the present. If Io were old it would already be stone cold to the center."

What can explain the vast diffrences? How old is Io exactly?

Here's the debate: Lets say, by some kind of devine intervention, you could stand on the surface of a black hole.
I say:
1) The surface would be smooth, but such a matte finish that you couldn't see it, as if you were floating above it.
2) The surface temp would be 0 Deg. K (All atoms are "crushed" per say, therefore not having any movement amongst them {needed to creat heat})
Friend says:
1) Surface would be so smoothe that it would appear to look like glass
2) The surface temp would be 10's of thousands of degrees C due to the enormus amount of mass, but adds that because absolutely nothing is emmitted from a black hole, the temperature (even less than the thickness of an atom) above it would be 0 Deg. K.
