HiMy daughter is going to full day K in September. My s-i-l just reminded me to warn her about fire drills. She has a noise sensitivity, and she's heard the alarms at home before, but I think they're louder and a little different at school. Does anyone know of a website or youtube thing where I can have her listen to a school fire alarm so she can be prepared? I'm going to tell her teacher too, but she's really going to lose it when the have a drill. I thought preparing her over the summer would help.When she was younger even a loud sneeze would send her into hysterics. Whenever we were outside and a car drove by she would run to the nearest adult in a panic. Now it's pretty much really loud motorcycles, thunder, and loud unexpected alarms that bother her. Even at the movies she wears ear muffs to help with the sound :) So, it is an honest problem..Thanks! :)
They are further away from the asteroid belt, so the asteroids have less of a chance of getting stuck in the others planets orbits
Yes, it comes from the generally accepted theory of how the solar system formed. The inner planets tend to be smaller, rocky (high density) and hew few moons, whilst the outer planets are larger, gas (low density) and have lots of moons.
I quit a job years ago because their machines always had foul coolant and stunk up the whole building. I was getting headaches, diarrhea, coughing, sore throats and skin rashes from the crap just being in the air. They said the building was safe because they did some stupid OSHA test for oil aerosols in the air, which of course was negative because they were using water based coolants, not oil based. It was all the bacteria and fungal issues that was the problem though. They are struggling to keep their doors open these days. :)
Yes, the planet's own masses and the tidal influence from the sun's gravity. Gravity is non-uniform, and the closer the point you study is to a source of gravity is, the more non-uniform gravity is. In order for a planet to have moons, it must create its own well in the existing gravity well of the parent star, and its moon must stabilize an orbit entirely within its own well. The background gravity of the parent star will WARP the well shallower on the sun-side of the planet and deeper on the non-sun side of the planet. The more non-uniform the parent star's background gravity, the more the extent of this warping of the planet's own gravitational well. Think of the parent star as a bowling ball on a rubber sheet, and the planet as a billiard ball on the rubber sheet. The bowling ball makes a large dent in the sheet, and the billiard ball makes a small dent in the sheet. Far away from the bowling ball, the sheet seems to be approximately a planar surface, and it is easy for the billiard ball to make its own dent. Close to the bowling ball, the sheet is curved downward a lot more, and a lot less flat. The billiard ball doesn't make much of a dent.
