Standard trivia rules... If you get the answer correct, you choose the next question. If you don't post a question within a day or two, someone else can carry the thread on so the trivia keeps going as long as interest exists. I know that nothing can be done to actually prevent this, but don't resort to Google, it's easy to look this stuff up and it's pointless to do that. bluetongue.gif

Because it used to be gray, and then it rusted.

No, seriously.

Not sure about it being gray, but you're actually right, it's oxidized iron. bluetongue.gif

Sorry Yulinford, but Yellow has a longer wavelength. grnwink.gif

Blue has a higher -frequency- which means -smaller- wavelength. Trick question, kinda. bluetongue.gif

(Oh, and I guess this is a good example of waiting for comfirmation before asking the next question. bluetongue.gif)

I'm assuming that you are talking about planets there and so I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say because all the planets are basically on a flat plane
