What were the original two elements in our universe?
Helium and Hydrogen
According to the Encounter Hypothesis, the solar system was created due to the interaction/encounter of two celestial bodies. What are those?
Two stars
A rogue star passes close to the Sun about 5 billion years ago. Material, in the form of hot gas, is tidally stripped from the Sun and the rogue star.
Temperature of _________ is just right, not too hot or too cold.
GOLDILOCK ZONE/ HABITAT ZONE
What are the sequence of a star's temperature based on the colors?
Dull, silky, waxy, pearly, and earthy are terms that best describe which property of minerals?
LUSTER
Process repeats infinitely (big bang, big crunch, big bang, big crunch, etc)
What theory of universe explains this process?
OSCILLATING THEORY
What is the collection of large and small celestial bodies that orbit the galaxy.
SOLAR SYSTEM
When dead plants decompose and nitrogen is returned to the soil, the interaction is between which two spheres?
The Biosphere and Geosphere
What is the name of spacecraft that entered the orbit of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko and took high-resolution photographs of the comet's surface.
ROSETTA SPACE PROBE
These characteristics form of a mineral produced by a repeating pattern of atoms
CRYSTALLINE STRUCTURE
The big bang is how astronomers explain the way the universe began. It is the idea that the universe began as just a _________, then expanded and stretched to grow as large as it is right now—and it is still stretching!
SINGLE POINT / SINGULARITY
The universal singularity (the singularity at the centre of the Universe) is the heart of creation, connecting everything in existence through the fabric of spacetime, where all matter and energy are born and return.
Proposed by Immanuel Kant and later refined by Pierre-Simon Laplace, this hypothesis suggests that the solar system formed from a large, rotating cloud of gas and dust, known as the solar nebula.
Nebular Hypothesis
Explain the difference of meteoroids, meteors, and meteorites.
Meteoroid: “space rock”—a relatively small object traveling through space, mostly orbiting around the sun.
Meteors: When meteoroids enter Earth's atmosphere (or that of another planet, like Mars).
Meteorites: When a meteoroid survives a trip through the atmosphere and hits the ground.
it is a car-sized Mars rover designed to explore the Jezero crater on Mars as part of NASA's Mars 2020 mission.
PERSEVERANCE ROVER
What are the common factor or couses for the rock to split up and form a new rock formation?
- WEATHERING
- EROSION
- DEPOSITION

Give the name of spacecraft and the date.
became the first spacecraft to fly through the sun's corona. The solar probe provided a closer look into the sun's outermost part, and expanded our knowledge of the origin and evolution of solar winds, which are valuable in providing forecast that affect life and technology on Earth.
August 12, 2018 - Parker Solar Probe
Explain the Rock Cycle.
FROM MAGMA, WHEN IT COOLS DOWN AND SOLIDIFIED IT WILL FORM A IGNEOUS ROCKS THEN WHEN THE WEATHERING AND EROSION PROCESS HAPPEN, IT WILL BREAK UP INTO PIECES THEN FORM A SEDIMENTS.
WHEN A SEDIMENTS UNDERGO OF CEMENTATION IT WILL FORM A SEDIMENTARY ROCKS.
WHEN THE IGNEOUS ROCKS AND SEDIMENTARY ROCKS ENCOUNTERED A HIGH PRESSURE AND HEAT IT WILL FORM A METAMORPHIC ROCKS. LASTLY, IF THE METAMORPHIC ROCKS MELTS IT WILL BECOME A MAGMA.
