@ ALL
Re: Question #1...
Nope...NOT Venus or Mercury....
(did I say anything about "in our Solar System"?)
keep searching everyone!

Answer 1

1. HD 149026b. according to a news article, its 3700 F, hotter than some low mass stars... (i had to research that one)
2. polar caps
3. uranus
4. blue, red
5. around 8 minutes
6. around 63000 AU i believe...

Answer 2

Venus is the Paris Hilton of the Solar System--"that's hot" Mars probe will sample Martian vulva folds. The planet that spins on it's side is really lazy and gives the rest of the solar system a bad name. Hottest stars are Jennifer Aniston, and Jessica Simpson. The coolest are George Clooney and Larry the Cable Guy. 6 minutes unless it has to stop for gas between Venust and Mercury. Divide 93 million into a light years distance and write that answer down. Then go tell your mom some dude in Indiana is doing your homework!

Answer 3

1 Venus
2 A U.S. Air Force C-17 cargo aircraft carried NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander spacecraft Monday, May 7, from Colorado to Florida, where Phoenix will start a much longer trip in August.After launch, Phoenix will land on a Martian arctic plain next spring. It will use a robotic digging arm and other instruments to determine whether the soil environment just beneath the surface could have been a favorable habitat for microbial life. Studies from orbit suggest that within arm's reach of the surface, the soil holds frozen water.
3 Uranus
4 Hottest are blue- coolest red
5 Apporx... eight minutes
6 63,240 astronomical units

Answer 4

K without research let's see how I do.

1. Venus
2. Polar caps
3. Uranus
4. Blue, Red
5. 8 minutes.
6. Wow no idea... 1 AU is the average distance of the Earth to the Sun, and if that takes 8 minutes...

There are 60x24x365 = 525,600 minutes in a year, so 525,600/8 (since Earth is 8 light-minutes away), so a light year is: 65,700 AUs.

Did I win?
