In which direction does the sun rise and set?

Rises in the East and sets in the West 

100

What is the cause of the orbits of the planets?

the gravity from the sun

100

The center of our solar system is

the sun

100

what directions does earth travel on its orbit?

counterclockwise 

100

What caused land forms on the moon?

meteors and lava channels 

200

What time would it be when the sun is setting?

6:00pm

200

Which planet is the furthest from the sun

Neptune 

200

Timmy decided that to create a solar system. He wanted to be extra and made our solar system and put in an extra sun. Why would not be an accurate model of the solar system? How would you fix it?

The solar system does not have 2 models, i would just have the sole sun

200

WHat direction does the earth rotate?

counterclockwise

200

Why is there so many creators on the moon but not on the Earth

The moons gravity is to weak to support an atmosphere. Making it easy for space rocks to hit it

300

What causes the day and night cycles on the earth?

Rotation 

300

The natural Satellite that orbits the earth.

the moon

300
In this model what should represent the sun, the moon, and the earth


tennis ball, ping pong ball, a basketball

BasketBall- Sun

Ping pong ball- the moon

tennis ball- the earth

300

What is the exact degree the earth is tilted 

23.5 degrees 

300

Would we have the same landforms if earth's gravity was 100 times as intense?

no the gravity would most likely change our earths crust 

400

Fix the following statement about light.


The day and night cycle is caused by the movement of the Sun and the rotation of earth around the sun.

The day and night cycle is caused by the rotation of the earth on its axis around the sun. 

400

This planet is our neighbor and is also known as the "Red" planet.

MARS.

400

Correct the following:


Mark has that most if not all the planets are revolving in a clockwise motion around Neptune 

Mark need to change the motion to counter clockwise. and the planets should be revolving around the sun because of the gravity not Neptune

400

What do people in the north hemisphere use to navigate the night sky, think about the SKYDOME 

The northern star, polaris

400

What is erosion, weathering, and deposition and why does the moon not have this?

Weathering- the break down of sediments by water, wind, ice

Erosion- carrying the sediments away by water, wind, or ice

Deposition- the carry to a NEW location and forming a new landform. 

The moon does not have any water so this process can not happen 

500

Explain to me why the tilt and the location of earth on its axis causes seasons

Based on the location of the earth on its axis and because the tilt makes the sun give more/less direct light to the part tilted towards it. in the northern hemisphere if the tilt is pointed away it would explain winter, if the earth was pointed towards it would be summer

500

This planet is famous for its many rings.

Saturn.

500

A gigantic explosion that occurs near the end of the life of some stars.

Supernova

500

Why do stars seem to move in the night sky, im looking for a specific word and why it works

apparent movement/motion caused by the earths rotation causes the experience of motion in the night sky

500

Gravities: 9.81 and 1.62? Which belongs to the earth and the moon and why does it matter?

9.81 earth and 1.62, it matters because there would be less friction, less pull, and due to less gravity the gases are released into space on the moon. AGAIN making it clear the moon has no atmosphere
