Answer to Question 1

The inner planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are relatively small and dense, which implies they are mostly solid rock. The outer planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are relatively large and have a lower density, which implies they are mostly made up of compressed gases with small centers of rock or ice.

Answer to Question 2

The S wave shadow zone occurs because S waves do not pass through liquids and part of Earth's core is liquid. The P wave shadow zone occurs because P waves slow down and get refracted when they pass through the part of Earth's core that is liquid.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
