DOUBLE ASTRONOMY JEOPARDY!
100
This science proposed the law of universal gravitation and inertia.
Who is Isaac Newton?
100
These are the two types of eclipses.
What are lunar and solar?
100
The moon and the sun not only pull on Earth but also this causing tides.
What are Earth's waters?
100
The phase of the moon when the entire sunlit side is facing earth.
What is a full moon?
100
This earth's axis is at this tilt to the vertical.
What is 23.5 degrees?
200
Small and recently re-classified as a dwarf planet, this is the littlest planet found furthest out in our solar system.
What is Pluto?
200
When an object in space comes between the sun and a third object, it casts on shadow on this.
What is the third object?
200
Tide with the biggest difference between consecutive low and high tides.
What is spring tide?
200
This is the term we use to describe the sunlit side of the moon is growing.
What is waxing?
200
These two factors Newton concluded keep the sun, moon, and all the planets in orbit.
What is a inertia?
300
The tendency of an object to resist change in motion.
What is inertia?
300
Only people under this part of the shadow cast on Earth can see a total solar eclipse.
What is an umbra?
300
The moon and the sun are at right angles to each other causing this kind tide.
What is neap tide?
300
These take the moon the same amount of time to complete.
What is revolution and rotation?
300
This is your mass in addition to the force of gravity you have.
What is weight?
400
Gravity depends on two factors.
What is mass and distance?
400
This is when a lunar eclipse occurs.
What is a full moon?
400
When the force of the moon's gravity is stronger on Earth's waters then on Earth as a whole, this kind of tide occurs.
What is high tide?
400
The moon itself does not glow. It __________ light from the sun.
What is reflects?
400
If both masses are doubled, this is quadrupled.
What is force of gravity?
500
The force of gravity decreases as this increases.
What is distance?
500
The outer layer of the sun's atmosphere that surrounds the dark disk of the moon during a total solar eclipse.
What is solar corona?
500
When the force of the moon's gravity is stronger on earth as a whole, this is left behind and a high tide occurs.
What is water on Earth?
500
This phase the sunlit side of the moon is waning and we can see half of the sunlit side of the moon.
What is third quarter?
500
On February 20, 1962, John Glenn became the first American to orbit Earth. If John Glenn weighed 640 N on Earth’s surface, he would he have weighed this if his Mercury spacecraft had (hypothetically) remained at twice the distance from the center of Earth.
