What orbits around the sun?
a planet

1. know the unit of measurement used for the temperature of the stars.
2.know the measure of a stars brightness as seen by an observer on Earth.
1.kalvin
2.Apperent Magnitude

What is another name for a shooting star?
Meteors

what is the big bang theory?
It is a theory of the the universe began by a small ball , the slowly expanded in the 13.8 billion of years.
100
know the difference in seasons between the Southern and Northern Hemisphere.
When it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere . it is winter in the Southern Hemisphere . and when the southern hemisphere is winter the Northern hemisphere is summer. the two hemispheres always experience the opposite seasons.

explain how the gravity plays the role with the oceans tides .
the moons gravitational force acting upon the ocean causes lunar tides . Gravity can also cause of tides . the earths gravity keeps water on the planet surface. however, the moons is large enough and close enough that its gravitational force has a noticeable effect on large bodies of water on earth.

What are the names of the planets starting from the star?
Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

1. What is another name for brightness of a star.
2. what is the approximate temperature of our sun.
1. Luminosity
2. about 10,000 Fahrenheit

Correctly label and explain the moon phases...
The moon phases can be seen from Earth are know as phases of the Moon. Each phase repeats itself every 29.5 days .
200
describe and illustrate how the revolution of the earth around the sun causes season to change.
The Earths axis is tilted. this causes the planet to lean away from the sun , receiving only indirect solar energy in the winter, and direct solar energy in the summer. Temperature increase in the summer
because the suns energy is more concentrated.

Explain the effects distance and mass have on the gravitational pull of the planets.
objects that are closer to each other the stronger the gravitational pull is , and the farther apart the objects are the less strong the gravitational pull is. Earths gravity comes from all its mass.
300
List four characteristics of the inner and Outer planets.
Inner planets: they are closer together, more dense, small, and a shorter revolution.
Outer planets :Farther apart, less dense, larger , longer revolution.

1. what type of star is our star
2. how does the life cycle of a star cycle compare with a life cycle of a human
1. Yellow dwarf star
2.The life of a cycle of the sun and a human both die and be born. And they both die from aging.

What is an asteroid belt and where is it located?
An asteroid belt is a region of our solar system - between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.

Explain the difference between a solar system , galaxy, and universe to include distance ,size ,and composition.
our solar system consisted of our star planets [ earth] along with loads of moons asteroids rocks and dust. and are star is not the only star there is also millions of other stars is a galaxy .our is the Milky way galaxy and the galaxy have lots of other solar systems. And the universe is all of the galaxies .There might is over 13 billion galaxias.

For the following astronomers , briefly describe their contribution to our understand of the solar system : A. Aristotle B. Aristarchus C. Ptolemy D. Copernicus E. Kepler F. Galileo
A. Believed that that the earth was round and that the earth was i the middle of the universe. B. placed the sun in the middle of the universe and place all the planets in order. C. Believed that the sun was in the middle of the universe and that the planets that revolved around the sun were perfectly in order. D. believed that the sun having a central position relative to the Earth. E. Believed in three laws of how the sour system is. F. disoverd that the sun had sun spote .

Know the following about the planets of our solar system. A. hottest planet because of the Greenhouse Effect . B. planet with the "great dark spot". C. fastest orbiting planet. D. planet with sideways axis. E. the "red planet ". F. the largest planet. G. planet with the most rings. H. planet that is made up of 2/3 water. I. Planet with the great red spot. J. Planet with a canyon larger than the grand canyon.
A. Venus B. Neptune C. Mercury D. Uranus E. Mars F. Jupiter G. Saturn H. Earth I. Jupiter J. Mars

1. what is know as the birth place for stars?
2.what phase do stars mostly live in?
1. cold clouds of gas and dust, know as the nebulas.
2. Main sequence

Be able to explain the differences between an asteroid, a meteor and a comet.
Asteroid : a large rocky body in space , in orbit around the sun. Meteoroid: much smaller rocks or particles in orbit around the sun. Meteorite: if a small asteroid or large meteoroid survives its fiery passage through Earths atmosphere and lands on Earths surface, it is called a meteorite.

1.what are two types of galaxies?
2.explain why the moon changes appearance over the course of its cycle.
1.The spiral Galaxy is are Galaxy and it is spiral shaped. The elliptical galaxy is the most common galaxy.
2.as the Moon orbits our planet , its varying position means that the sun lights up different regions , creating the illusion that the moon is changing its shape over time .

Know the difference between Terrestrial Planets and Gas giants .
Terrestrial planets atmosphere is mostly made up of gasses such as, Carbon dioxide, Nitrogen, and Oxygen,. The gas giants on the other hand , consist mainly of lighter gases like hydrogen and helium.
