Talking about the greenhouse effect

I have my astronomy final in an hour...

just some fun facts:

the greenhouse effect occurs in venus, earth and mars.
venus has the highest albedo in our solar system (which is the milky way)
the myth of martians first came into excistence in the late 1800s and early 1900s because of channels seen on mars surface. Lowell and Schiaperelli were the ones who saw them, it turned out to be an optical illusion.
there are 3 places in the solar system where volcanic activity takes place: venus, earth and io (jupiter's satellite)
the oblateness of a planet is the meassure of how much the 3d shape of a planet departs from a perfect sphere.
mars' satellites are called phobos and deimos.
ganymede is the largest satellite in the solar system.
mercury lacks an atmoshpere. making it super hot by day and super cold at night.
neptunes rings are called adam's ring, leverrier ring and galle ring.
the center of all jovian planets are made of solid terrestrial core.
etc....

i swear if i dont pass this test, i will give up on life...

anyways i'll leave you with this:
if you're not to long, i will wait for you my entire life
