August 23, 200618 yr Yea, there sure is life out there. :wub: The Sun is a Star. Well yes. Put it like this, image the universe was a football team. The goalkeeper is the sun, the other planets are the rest of the team, forwards midfield and defence. Now the goalkeeper is different, he doesn't run around the field, well only in exception situations, he can use his hands etc. Someone comes along and says how many footballers in the team. I'd say there is 11 and include the goalkeeper. Then you come along and say he's not a footballer he's a goalkeeper. ;) Oh dear :( I think I need to go to bed! :rofl:

August 23, 200618 yr 'planets are dead', well the earth certainly isn't dead. It will be the way it's going. Isn't the sun going to swallow it up one day or something? Does anyone know...?
August 24, 200618 yr 'planets are dead', well the earth certainly isn't dead. you know what i mean.... its a cold rock orbiting a huge nuclear reactor. yes the sun will slowly swell as its fuel runs out, it is expected to swallow the earth at some point in the distant future before it explodes... supernova...
