Water Diamond Persuasive Speech
1. Fortunately Water
Now we all know that Earth rains water right? The water from lakes, oceans, or any body of water evaporates and then that makes clouds and so on eventually ending in water falling from the sky known as water. The Water Cycle is what it’s called if you remember fifth grade science at all, but what do other planets rain? The answer might be quite interesting and might even scare you.

2. Unfortunately(?) Diamonds
Yeah, I know that sounds painful doesn't it? That’s why I’m glad we don’t inhabit the great planet Saturn because there it rains diamonds. Diamonds raining from the sky must be some entrepreneurs dream but here's the thing about them, they never actually reach the ground. “The diamond maintains its structure until

Dust Storms AND Snow?
On the great, believed to be, dusty red planet, Mars, it apparently snows snow that is “. . . , made of carbon dioxide rather than water, are thought to be about the size of red blood cells.” Tim Sharp the Reference Editor for Space.com wrote in his article about Mars’ weather. Not to mention the extreme, “Giant dust devils routinely [kicking] up the oxidized iron dust that covers Mars' surface.“ Mars seems to have both it’s north and south poles capped in ice and dust storms that can be so violent they cover the entire planet for days, weeks, and even months at a time.

4. Hotter Than Eating a Raw Jalapeno
I hate summers on Earth already so Mercury is definitely not somewhere I would want to visit because its temperatures during the day “. . .can reach 800 degrees Fahrenheit (430 degrees Celsius).” Mercury has scorching weather everyday that ,I imagine, wouldn’t be pleasant at all to withstand. I’m afraid it’s nightime weather is just as terrifying too because NationalGeographic makes it pretty clear in their article that “. . . temperatures on the surface can drop to -280 degrees Fahrenheit (-170 degrees Celsius).” Weather humans could never withstand during the day and the night is only one of the reasons we won’t be able to travel to Mercury in the near

Horizontally, as in “. . . the planet rains glass sideways in 4,350 mile per hour (7,000 km/h) winds. . .” Hubble officials state about this ‘alien planet’ albeit a bit terrified and confused. If glass coming at you sideways being classified as ‘weather’ on this ‘alien plant’ isn’t at least slightly fear-inducing then I might just be a wimp. It also seems that the planet never rotates and is stuck with a dayside and nightside permanently. What a joy that the day-side is over 1,800 Fahrenheit and the night-side is about 500 degrees less than that. Why is it that every plant that seems relatively astounding we can never have the hope to visit

    The name "diamond" comes from the Greek word, "adamas" meaning unconquerable. Fittingly diamonds are made of pure carbon, and diamonds are the hardest natural substance known to man.[1][1] Diamonds have long been a sign of wealth and fortune. Kings and queens have worn these forms of concentrated carbon and even more countless millions people over time have lusted after them. These gems can be transparent, truculent white, yellow, green, blue, or brown. To understand the value of these stones, and ultimately their role in war, it helps to first understand their origins and where they come form.…

    Precipitation totals 6-10 inches of rain a year, which includes melted snow. This is almost as little as the world's driest deserts. Coupled with strong and drying winds, the tundra is an extreme weather biome. The tundra seems like a wet and soggy place because the precipitation that falls evaporates slowly, and because of the poor drainage caused by the permafrost. You can find the tundra climate in Köppen's E climate category.…

    Snowball earth is when the Earth was covered by ice and snow from pole to pole for long periods of time in the past. The average temperature on the surface was about -50° and at the equator it was about -20°, which is roughly the temperature of Antarctica today. This is because the solar radiation from the Sun is reflected back into space due to the icy surface of the Earth. The oceans play a major role on the temperature fluctuation associated with day and night and because the oceans have a layer of ice over them, the temperature fluctuations would be greatly enhanced. Because of all the ice on the surface, the climate on snowball earth would be similar to Mars. Although there is a thick layer of ice on the surface, the atmosphere still transports…

    The Planet of Mars isbeing 142 million miles away from the sun and only forty-nine million miles away from earth. The average temperature for Earth is fifty-seven degrees fahrenheit. The average temperature for Mars is negative eighty-one degrees fahrenheit. You would think there would be no way of having life on Mars (University Today). The cool thing is scientists think Mars would be the first planet to colonize and be able to live on. Almost everyone thinks that earth has full twenty-four hour days. Truth be told that Earth only has twenty-three hours and fifty-six minutes days. Mars actually has longer days lasting as long as twenty-four hours and thirty-six minutes. There are a lot of planets that have more than one moon and Mars can be included in this because it has two moons. The name of both of these moons is Phobos and Deimos and were found in 1877. Both of these moons are named after the sons of Ares which is the Greek God of war (University Today).…

    Also Mercury’s day is twice as long as its year. The day lasts 176 Earth days, the year just 88. But it gets stranger... If you stood on Mercury you’d see the Sun apparently shrinking in the sky.

    In 1869, approximately two years after the discovery of the "Eureka" diamond, another brilliant white diamond was found near the banks of the Orange River. This time, the diamond was found on the farm of the De Beers brothers: Joahannes and Diederik. Niekirk bought the diamond from the person who found it and sold it to the Lilienfeld brothers, who later sold it to the Earl of Dudley. This diamond was named the "Star of Africa". The discovery of the "Star of Africa" sparked the beginning of the diamond rush to Africa.…

    There is so much proof saying that a lot of the stunts pulled in this movie could actually be useful information for anyone who by chance would have to survive on Mars. But being that this movie wasn’t entirely made by scientists (and they wanted to end the movie with the main character going back home), there has to be some sort of element of fiction in a science-fiction movie. One major flaw to the movie’s scientific credibility is the storm that left Watney alone and injured on a planet far from home. Yes, Mars does have wind and storms, but based on a few different articles I read, there is no way that the storms on Mars are anywhere near as intense as the one portrayed in the movie.…

    Friendship is based on trust. Humans want to believe in their significant other. We continue the relationship, until ultimately trust is lost. In “Of Mice and Men” George wants to believe that Lennie will not go against his words. However, this complete trust that Lennie has in George can work against him. Lennie trusts that George would never lead him wrong and that George’s words are final. However within chapter five, readers and Lennie realize that this is not always true.…
