Who formed the three principles of the solar system
What is Kepler
200
Where the object is farthest away from the sun
What is Aphelion

Give me the order of the sun's layers from the outside, in
What is corona, photosphere, chromoshphere
200
Alberts equation with variable meanings
E=mc2 E=Energy M=mass c= speed of light
200
Two elements of the sun with the percentage
What is 74% hydrogen, 25% helium
200
This person studied the sun and moons that orbit Jupitor
What is Galileo
300
Most early astronomers placed the sun at the center of the solar system
FALSO
300
How many times can we circle the earth to equal the size of the sun
What is 109

The mean distance between Mercury and the sun is .387 AU. Determine the orbital period of Mercury in Earth years
.2407
300
Why does the sun move at different speeds? Explain where it moves faster/slower
What is differential rotation is because the sun is a gas. It rotates slower at the poles and faster at the equator. The core rotates like the earth
300
Thought the Earth was the center of all things
What is Aristotle
400
What is it called when planets and objects get faster as they get closer to the sun. Or the point that is the closest to the sun
What is perihelion
400
What is difference between a sunspot, solar flare and prominence
Sunspot: dark spot that forms on the surface, may last a few hours to a few months Solar flare: an explosive release of energy Prominence: cool gas that extends outward from the photosphere into the atmosphere. Lasts from several hours to several months
400
The earth is 1 AU. You have 3 seconds to give me the amount of years
What is 1
400
Explain Kepler's 1st law
What is: The sun is always the focus point in the orbit. Each planet orbits the sun in an ellipse with the sun at one focus.
400
This person proposed a heliocentric model but not many people wanted to accept it
Aristarchus
500
Gravity is the strongest form of energy
FALSO
500
How does energy get from the core to the atmosphere. Explain how it travels through each ZONE
Energy leaves the core and enters the radiative zone. In the radiative zone, it is pushed by electromagnetic waves until it reaches the convective zone. Here, it is transferred through the movement of matter. Then it is turned into granules. Hot gasses rise and exit the photosphere to form light, heat ect. Cold gasses sink back in

If I gave you 594 years on the test, what are you looking for and why. Give me the anser
I am looking for the distance in astronomical units or AU which is 4.39
500
Explain Kepler's 2nd law. You can draw it out in order to explain
What is The area between a time period will fluctuate. For example: after one month, the object will travel faster as it gets closer to the sun and slower when it is farther away. The object will always travel same area but different distances in the same amount of time from month to month
