Title: Astronomy questions from kids, Part 2 View count: 14105 Rating: 4.9797297 (148 ratings) Description: My friend Tina is a teacher in Austin. She asked her sixth grade students to send me questions they had about astronomy, and I answer them on question. There were so many I had to split this into *5* parts! This is Part 2, and these are the questions they asked me: 1) Why is gravity different on the Moon? 2) Why are planets round? 3) How deep do the gases on Jupiter go? 4) Are Uranus and Neptune solid ice? 5) Why is Uranus tipped over? 6) Can a moon have a moon? 7) Can you touch a comet and land on an asteroid? 8) Does Titan smell like poop? :-) [NOTE: I made an error in this one; Titan's atmosphere is mostly nitrogen, with about 1-2% methane. That's lot more than on Earth, but it's not "mostly methane" as I say in the video. Oops.] 9) Will my school get hit by a meteorite? 10) What would happen if you hit a golf ball on the Moon?
