Planets
The number of planets in our solar system.
What is 8?
What is the Sun?
This tool is used to see objects out in space.
What is a telescope?
These are the two distance measurements we use in space.
What are astronomical units and light years?
This is the force that keeps planets in orbit around the Sun and forms planets/stars.
The planet furthest from the Sun.
What is Neptune?
The galaxy that the Earth is located in.
What is the Milky Way?
This is Earth's natural satellite.
What is the moon?
What is core, radiation zone, convection zone, photosphere, chromosphere, and corona?
This term is used to describe a stars brightness from Earth.
What is apparent magnitude?
A time we would use light years.
What is when measuring distances outside our solar system?
A gathering of space dust and particles where stars and planets can form.
What is a Nebula?
This is the layer of the sun that transfers heat and energy from the core.
What is the radiation zone?
These gases are what the Sun is primarily composed of.
What are hydrogen and helium?
This term is used to describe a stars brightness if it is 32.6 light years away.
What is absolute brightness?
A time when we would use astronomical units.
What is when measuring distances inside our solar system?
What is supergiants, giants, white dwarfs, and main sequence?
This layer of the sun is where convection currents take place.
What is photosphere?
The H-R Diagram graphs these two characteristics of stars.
What are luminosity and temperature?
The difference between revolution and rotation.
What is orbit around a star and spin on its axis?
The Sun is classified as this color in this group.
What is a medium-sized yellow star in the main sequence?
These two things are what keep planets in orbit.
What are speed and gravitational pull?
This is the correct order of the planets starting with closest to the sun.
What is Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune?
This is the only time that the corona is visible around the Sun.
What is during a total solar eclipse?
