<VV> Re: Saturn Sky HUMOR NO CORVAIR

[Norm Witte]

Well, it seems awfully light for a planet....  

So I calculated it for a sky.  The Saturn Sky is 161.1 inches by 71.4 inches, which gives a total surface area of 79.87875 square feet.  I may be rusty here but from my high school science class I seem to recall that a column of air one foot square weights 14.7 lbs., give or take for barometric pressure, which would make 79.87875 square feet of sky 1,174.218 lbs., or about 1,758.782 lbs. less than 2,933 lbs.  So the Sky weighs 1,758.782 lbs. too much.

Ask Doctor Science!
