GILBERT M asked:


How far from the Sun must you travel before its gravitational influence is zero? Why is this point a poor choice to define as the boundary of the Solar System? What is a better choice of boundary and why is it better?

Yo asked:


I’m trying to figure out a trip to see family on Christmas, for about a week. I’m looking at a full day of driving to reach the destination, mostly highway driving.
Christmas falls on a Monday this year. I’m figuring that the Friday before (22nd) would be bad for travel, and probably the Tuesday (26th) will be busy as well.

What would you suggest as the ideal days to travel, in order to overlap Christmas day with a week of time off? Would Wednesday through Wednesday make the most sense?

Thanks.

Savi’s mom asked:


The company I work for is putting together an information packet for our employees when they travel. What sorts of information do you think would be helpful to have for international as well as domestic travel? Anything that you can think of would be great, some ideas we have are hotel amenities, passport information, travel itinerary. Can anyone think of anything else?

I really appreciate your help.

I have never flown to North Carolina and I am just curious of what the least expensive airline would be to travel there. I am intending on traveling there from Texas next month.

??? asked:


I will be needing to travel in the car with my 2 platies for about 3 hours. I’m moving so I don’t really have a choice about it. How should I do it so that they survive and also so that I don’t get water all over my car. Also I’m assuming I’m going to have to empty the tank.
