Planets
This planet is the fastest in our solar system and the closest to the sun.
What is Mercury?
What is the sun?
What are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars?
The hottest part of the sun where most nuclear fusion occurs.
What is gravity?
This planet sits just beyond the asteroid belt and is the most massive planet in our solar system.
What is Jupiter?
Two factors that affect the gravitational attraction between two objects.
What is mass of each object and the distance between them?
These planets come after the asteroid belt
What are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune?
The outer most layer of the sun.
What is the Corona?
The moment when the hot dense matter of our universe began to expand forming galaxies and solar systems.
What is the Big Bang?
This red planet is believed to have had liquid water on its surface at some point in time. It sits just before the asteroid belt.
What is Mars?
If you increase the mass of an object, this happens to its gravitational pull.
What is an increase in gravitational pull?
This planet is the only known planet in our solar system to currently contain liquid water.
What is Earth?
The section of the sun that we can see with our naked eye.
What is the photosphere?
Other than planets, name 3 objects in our solar system.
what are: Moons, Sun, asteroids, comets, meteorites, meteoroids, meteor, fireball, dwarf planets?
This terrestrial planet has a harsh hot atmosphere with clouds made of sulfuric acid. While humans have successfully landed here, the harsh environment has quickly destroyed all technology that made a successful touchdown.
What is Venus?
This happens to gravitational pull when the distance between to objects increases.
What is a decrease in gravitational pull?
These planets are known as Jovian planets, or gas/ice giants.
What are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune?
The reason stars shine
What is the result of nuclear fusion and the production of light energy?
List the following from smallest to largest: Universe, Earth, Milky Way Galaxy, Solar System
Earth < Solar System < Milky Way Galaxy < Universe
This planet's equator sits at a near-right angle causing some of the most extreme seasons in the solar system, and similar to other planets, it has rings.
While it doesn't plummet to earth. This large satellite is constantly in Earth's gravitational field.
What is the moon?
These planets are known as terrestrial planets.
What are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars?
What happens when dust and debris gather in space, until the accumulation becomes so great it collapses on itself and becomes a burning ball of gas?
The type of energy which radiates from the sun?
What is light energy?
