Hi Larry,

  I water my plants, I fertilize my plants, I sometimes even talk to my plants, but I draw the line at stroking my plants. LOL

 Thank you, Larry.

Hey, I just noticed the POTW sign. Cool!!! We have little trophies and everything.

That was really nice of Bogdan to do.

Your Good Friend

    The New Solar System
    Summarizes what we've learned from interplanetary explorations in the last 25 years. My primary reference for The Nine Planets.

    The Compact NASA Atlas of the Solar System
    This 'road map' of the solar system is the definitive guide for planetary science.

    Our Sun is a normal main-sequence G2 star, one of more than 100 billion stars in our galaxy.

     diameter: 1,390,000 km.
    mass: 1.989e30 kg
    temperature: 5800 K (surface)
    15,600,000 K (core)

    The Sun is by far the largest object in the solar system. It contains more than 99.8% of the total mass of the Solar System (Jupiter contains most of the rest).

    It is often said that the Sun is an "ordinary" star. That's true in the sense that there are many others similar to it. But there are many more smaller stars than larger ones; the Sun is in the top 10% by mass. The median size of stars in our galaxy is probably less than half the mass of the Sun.
