JUPITER


The planet Jupiter is the first of the gas giant planets. Made mostly of gas,Why? Well it is said if Jupiter was 80 times bigger than it was , it would had become a sun , imagine having the sun inthe afternoon and another in the night,Jupit.

Well gas giants include Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

Jupiter is first among the planets in terms of size and mass. Its diameter is 11 times bigger than Earth, and its mass is 2.5 times greater than all the other planets combined. The “Great Red Spot” on Jupiter is actually a raging storm.


This giant planet comes in first again when it comes to giving off heat. The core of Jupiter may be made of liquid rock that reaches temperatures of 43,000° F (23,870° C).

There are at least 63 moons of different sizes orbiting Jupiter. That's the most of any planet. Its largest moon is called Ganymede. It has a diameter of 3,400 miles (5,472 km)—larger than Mercury!



Facts about Jupiter

Origin of name:

Named after Jupiter, the principal god in Roman mythology.

Diameter:

88,732 miles (142,800 km).

Distance from Sun:

484 million miles (779 million km).

Length of year:

Almost 12 Earth years.

Number of Moons:

63.

Mars

No planet has sparked the imaginations of humans as much as Mars. It may be the reddish color of Mars, or the fact that it can often be easily seen in the night sky, that has caused people to wonder about this close neighbor of ours. Tales of “Martians” invading Earth have been around for well over fifty years. But is it likely that any kind of life really does exist on Mars?

Scientists aren't sure. Life as we know it couldn't survive there. Even so, there is evidence that there may be water on Mars. The presence of methane, which may be given off by organisms, provides another clue.


Does this all mean you need to be concerned about an alien attack from Mars? Hardly. Still, as we learn more and more about the final terrestrial planet, the more mysterious and wonderful Mars becomes.

Facts about Mars

The gender symbol for male.

Origin of name:

Named after Mars, the Roman god of war, perhaps because of the planet's red color.

Diameter:

4,217 miles (6,786 km).

Distance from the Sun:

142 million miles (229 million km).

Length of year:

687 days.

Number of Moons:

Two, called Deimos and Phobos.

EARTH



The Earth is the only planet known where life exists. Almost 1.5 million species of animals and plants have been discovered so far, and many more have yet to be found. While other planets may have small amounts of ice or steam, the Earth is 2/3 water. Earth has perfect conditions for a breathable atmosphere.

Earth is the largest of the terrestrial planets and the fifth largest in the solar system. It is believed to be about 4.5 billion years old, which makes it very young compared to other celestial bodies!




Facts about Earth


A circle with an equator and a meridian line at right angles.

Origin of name:

Probably from the Old English word that means “soil.”

Diameter:

7,926 miles (12,755 km).

Distance from Sun:

93 million miles (150 million km).

Length of year:

365 days.

Number of Moons:

One.

Venus
Of all the planets, Venus is the one most similar to Earth. In fact, Venus is often called Earth's “sister” planet.Personally I believe something happened on Venus that made human run and stay here . Though similar as it is in some ways, however, it is also very different in others.

Earth and Venus are similar in size. The two planets are very close to each other as they orbit the Sun; because of this, Venus is the most visible planet in the night sky. Both planets are relatively young, judging from the lack of craters on their surfaces


We now know that the environment on Venus couldn't support life as Earth does. Our atmosphere is a breathable mix of oxygen and other gases, but the atmosphere on Venus is mostly carbon dioxide, which is a poisonous gas. The temperature on Earth rarely goes much higher than 100° F (37.8° C), even at the equator, but the temperature on the surface of Venus can exceed 850° F (454° C)!

Space The atmosphere of Venus would be compared to the exhaust from a car.



The Earth is mostly water, but whatever water that may have existed once on Venus has boiled away due to the intense heat.

Facts about Venus

The same as the gender symbol for female.

Origin of name:

Venus was the Roman goddess of love and beauty.

Diameter:

7,520 miles (12,100 km).

Distance from Sun:

About 67 million miles (108 million km).

Length of year:

225 days.

Number of Moons:

None.

What exactly do we know of our neighbour planets ?




Mercury
Mercury is the first of the four terrestrial planets. This means it is a planet made mostly of rock. The planets closest to the Sun—Venus, Earth, and Mars—are the other three.

Mercury is the smallest of the terrestrial planets. It has an iron core that accounts for about 3/4 of its diameter. Most of the rest of the planet is made up of a rocky crust.

Because it is so close to the Sun, it is very difficult to see Mercury. A NASA mission called Messenger is expected to begin orbiting the planet in 2011. It is expected that this will help us learn a great deal more about this rarely seen planet.





Space The Messenger launched on the Boeing Delta II rocket on August 3, 2004. It will reach Mercury on March 18, 2011.

Facts about Mercury


Mercury's winged helmet.

Origin of name:

Mercury was a god in Roman mythology. He was a messenger with winged feet.

Diameter:

3,032 miles (4,879 km).

Distance from Sun

28.5 to 43 million miles (45.9 to 69 million km).

Length of year:

88 days.

Number of Moons:

None.


By the way how exactly do you think our moon formed ? An imaginary figure didnt just put it there to brighten our nights, any ideas? How we got a moon ?

Dead doesn't care who you are o. God help us.

Sapphire
You know both men and females are the same entities right , only difference is oestrogen and tetestorone
I understand your support for women
But it shouldn't be 'all women'
We have the same percentage of men just as woman ,
As some men are meant for dirt so are some women , again not 'all women ' should be classified as a woman much less a human.

SkengRay:
The fact that I have gone through 11 ways out of 15 makes me feel semi-mortal lol

definatly a lucky one.

Topzee109:
Why will you be thinking of death instead of you to us how to prevent these cases

hmm good question ,maybe because eventually every one of us will die ,even though you dont like hearing but its fact ,we will all die at some point.

starbuck:
Two days ago, a friend called me after I drove past his house asking if I kept a duplicate life somewhere upon i was driving through a street.. Honestly it hit me so hard that I had to self reflect on it..

He is a Nairalander though, I am really grateful for some people in my life

thats because youre awesome , good attracts good .

NewDelhi:
Of all the good things to think of in this life na die dey your own head.

I will die, you will die , infact statistics shows a hundred percentage of people alive now will die so yes its in my head, should I should not have to apologize for this .

PLUGGING IN AN APPLIANCE WHILE YOUR HANDS ARE WET OR DRY

THE FEAR: Moisture will transfer the current from the plug to you, and random shocks too pass of current through dry hands and feet

Each year, an estimated 500 to 1,000 deaths are caused by electrical injuries. Since most water contains impurities and conducts electricity extremely well, and electric currents tend to flow where there is the least resistance, they will usually go through that water—and into you—if the opportunity presents itself. Plus, wet skin has a lower resistance than dry skin. You could get a fatal shock to your heart.

ODDS OF DEATH: Dry or die.

HenryDion:
Being rich or poor is a decision... It's all under your control!

neither of these matter

Enjoy life's natural gifts to the fullest .
Life is short
Life is very spontaneous and unpredictable
You may plan your life ,but life sets your plans.

LIGHTNING

THE FEAR: Being struck by lightning will kill you.

According to the National Weather Service, over the 30-year period from 1986 to 2015, only 10 percent of the people struck by lightning in the U.S. died. That's an average of 48 lightning fatalities each year. If you're stuck outside during a storm, crouch low to the ground with your heels touching and your head between your knees. You want to become as small a target as possible. Its sudden, its quick ,lightning is everywhere even In space, as if not causing wildfires is not enough.

ODDS OF DEATH: medium to moderate

GETTING HIT BY A CAR

THE FEAR: When cars battle people, the cars always win.

Well this is true , Bikemen , Cabs ,random truck explosions, Timber falling off timber trucks( Wrong turn ish)

The pursuit of automotive autonomy has been a boon for safety, and has led to features such as automatic braking and lane-departure warnings becoming common, even in less expensive cars. Along with driver safety, manufacturers are focused on making collisions with pedestrians less lethal. Which is good, considering that, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2013, 4,735 pedestrians were killed in traffic accidents, and another 66,000 were injured. New safety features include rounded edges, sloping hoods, a lack of hood ornaments, and the following.
There will be at least 8 car-bike accidents in each of the states today alone .

Getting Punched in the nose



Wow this MF is so inevitable today

THE FEAR: The right angle can send bone fragments into your brain.

Although the American Academy of Family Physicians reports that approximately 40 percent of facial trauma injuries are broken noses, very few, if any, of those result in death. The nasal bone is short and relatively far from the brain. Driving it into the brain would essentially require caving in the entire front of someone's skull, and most human fists can't do that. What can kill you are complications from a broken nose, such as a septal hematoma—a collection of blood within the septum that could become infected—or damage to the cribriform plate that separates the nasal cavity from the skull and is very thin, which can result in an infection in your brain.

ODDS OF DEATH: Very high , very very high. Stay safe .

DRIVING IN HEELS

THE FEAR: Loose shoes impede your ability to use the pedals.

There are plenty of possible issues: Your shoe can get caught in the brake pedal or fall off and get stuck behind it. Your wife can catch you. Flip-flops are just as bad. If you can, avoid wearing any kind of loose shoe while driving. Or go barefoot its safe

SOLAR FLARES

THE FEAR: Bursts of electromagnetic radiation that emanate from the sun during solar flares will take down the power grid

Standard-issue solar flares are too small and too far away to have any noticeable effect on Earth. But coronal mass ejections, a separate phenomenon, can drive geomagnetic storms, which can temporarily interfere with high-frequency communications and could also affect the power grid. According to Bob Rutledge of the Space Weather Forecast Office at the National Weather Service's Space Weather Prediction Center, significant CMEs occur sporadically. The most recent big events were recorded in 1859, 1921, and 1989. Repairs to the grid would be arduous and costly but, as for physical risk, it's minimal. Specialists monitor space weather closely. Because a CME can take a day or more to reach Earth, there'll be ample time to redirect power loads, get airplanes back on the tarmac, and download enough podcasts to get you through it.

ODDS OF DEATH: You'll be fine. it'll give you a chance to read a book, but you'll be dead .

CELLPHONES

THE FEAR: The radiation from cellphones might cause cancer. May Spontaneously blow up especially here in Nigeria
We can't even charge and use earpiece to listen to songs

Like microwaves, cellphones give off nonionizing radiation—the safe kind. Although it doesn't have the protective metal mesh that keeps microwaves from escaping, your phone gives off less than 1 watt of energy compared to 2,000 to 3,000 with a microwave.

ODDS OF DEATH:we still don't trust them.

I'll go straight to how you could get killed today .
Not just in Nigeria ,EVERYONE




THE HOSPITAL

THE FEAR: Being in the hospital exposes you to more—and more virulent—bacteria.

Being in the hospital does increase your risk of catching something, says Dr. Amesh Adalja at the Infectious Diseases Society of Medicine . But microorganisms are everywhere, he says, and the increased risk of visiting noncontagious patients is negligible. "The world teems with bacteria," Adalja says. "There's really no way to avoid them." Patients, however, should be cautious. There were an estimated 722,000 healthcare-associated infections in U.S. hospitals in 2011 (the most recent data), resulting in an estimated 75,000 deaths. Surgeries gone wrong, wrong injection given, Serial killing doctors.

ODDS OF DEATH: RARE BUT CERTAIN

Emeriewilliam:
He said his hands are clean

I believe so to be honest . he tries, no president would want a stained record especially somebody like Buhari .

But then ,the soilders deployed to the protest in lekki , I doubt it was a presidential order
the palliatives that was hidden , again not the federal govts fault.
Hmm..

Well he does not control the economy if that's what you mean but on insecurities ,he could actually do better .

Kelvin125:
T

Trump?

Dtruthspeaker:
I have already explained to you and you got it that it is not because you did not worship Him alone but because you have done many many wickedness and evils which the people whom you have wounded, hurt or killed are crying for "just is" from you!

are you christain buddy?

Dtruthspeaker:
That is not true. It is always the arguing parties who do not always know how to properly present their respective cases logically and within the proper rules of argument.

Ah I cannot argue with you dtruthspeaker ..


But

In any context how can anyone explain logically a man floated to space (without a spacesuit) , walked on water , tured water to wine , or rising after been dead , I just dont see how they can expain these within the rules (so they keep breaking ) of argument especially with logic.

Model404:
in all things use wisdom, even jesus used wisdom in handling most cases..... so why won't i

wisdom is not logic

Anyways

Logic and Religion dont go hand in hand at all .

Mamajama:
It will be interesting to see what happen when we have a new president. which one will stay and which one will be decommission

sadly none

Model404:
Does it mean that almost all the world's population will go to hell without being a christain?.........
if you look at it from this angle, the world's population of christains isn't up to 50% of the total population.
so does it mean they will all go to hell?

how dare you bring logic into religion.
