From the Original, I would have to say Spock would be my favorite. My least favorite would be Mr.Chevov. He's so arragant and what's up the the stupid accent?!From the Next Generation, Geordi La Forge is probably one of the best pilots the U.S.S Enterprise has ever seen, so that makes him my favorite. However Dr. Crusher just gets on my nerves while she orders Picard around.
The Earth is tilted at an angle, so some areas (like the equator) get more sunlight than places towards the poles. Also, there are some surfaces that reflect heat and light differently than others. For instance, the poles are colder because ice reflects heat and light more than the water (ocean water is actually one of the least reflective materials out there) at the equator.
WOW!!! I could never come up with such a story! Thank you for making me smile!
