Solar System
This planet is closest to the Sun.
What is Mercury?
The Sun is this type of star colour.
What is yellow?
NASA stands for this.
What is National Aeronautics and Space Administration?
This theory states that time passes differently depending on how fast you are moving.
What is the theory of special relativity?
Handsworth Secondary School was first opened this year.
This region beyond Neptune contains many icy objects.
What is the Kuiper Belt?
Stars generate energy through this process.
What is nuclear fusion?
The first artificial satellite launched into space.
What is Sputnik 1?
Two identical clocks are synchronized. One is placed on a fast-moving spaceship. When compared later, the one on the ship will show this.
What is less time passing?
The old Handsworth field was demolished this year.
When is 2022.
If Earth suddenly moved closer to the Sun, the length of a year would most likely do this.
What is decrease?
Astronomers observe two stars of equal temperature. One appears much brighter. This likely means it is this (give 2 answers).
What is larger or closer?
A spacecraft must reach this minimum speed to avoid falling back to Earth after launch.
What is escape velocity?
A spaceship moving close to the speed of light measures the distance to a distant star as this compared to someone at rest relative to the star.
What is shorter?
Handsworth's address is this.
What is 1033 Handsworth Road
If Earth's mass doubled but its size stayed the same, your weight would do this.
What is increase?
Star A is more massive than Star B. Even though Star A contains more fuel, it will have a shorter lifespan because of this.
What is it burns fuel much faster?
Spacecraft use this system of measurements to ensure calculations work across international missions.
What is metric system?
A spaceship moving at 0.8c turns on a flashlight. An observer on Earth measures the speed of the light as this.
What is c (the speed of light)?
Handsworth has this many in-class APs.
What is 8?
Planet A has twice Earth's radius and four times Earth's mass. The surface gravity would be approximately this.
What is 9.8m/s^2?
A distant star periodically dims every 30 days. The dimming is always the same amount and lasts the same length of time. This most strongly suggests this is happening.
What is an orbiting exoplanet passing in front of the star?
Astronauts train underwater to simulate this condition in space.
What is microgravity?
A spaceship moving at 0.8c launches a pod forward at 0.5c (relative to the ship). According to relativity, the pod’s speed measured from Earth is this.
What is less than c?
Handsworth is this many km from Grouse Mountain's parking lot.
