Explain rotation and revolution in one word (hint: Syllables)
What is Rotation:day Revolution: year
100
The atmosphere of Jovian planets is mostly:
What is Hydrogen and Helium
100
The surfaces of Terrestrial planets are:
What is solid and rocky
100
What is one of the most obvious differences between Jovian and Terrestrial Planets?
What is SIZE, SURFACE
100
In astronomy numbers are vast...How can we simplify the following number, so we do not have to stumble upon it in the future: 460,000,000
What is scientific notation
200
Define our solar system:
What is:The sun and all things orbiting around it, including the eight major planets, their satellites, and all the smaller pieces such as asteroids, meteoroids, and comets.
200
Why are the Jovian planets slightly oblong
What is the fast rotation
200
The atmosphere of terrestrial planets are mostly
What is nitrogen and Carbon Dioxide
200
This category of planets does not have a solid surface.
What is Jovian
200
Give me the following number in scientific notation: 589,000,000
What is 5.89 x 10^8
300
What is the difference between rotation and revolution
What is rotation is spinning on axis, while revolution is orbiting (circling) another planetary object.
300
Why do the Jovian Planets have so way more moons than the terrestrial planets?
What is gravitational pull
300
Terrestrial planets are __________ dense, then Jovian Planets.
What is more
300
It is safe to say that our planets where created by a process called accreation (from the video). what does this mean?
What is that inter spacial matter collided, stuck together, growth or enlargement from gradual buildup
300
If Jupiter's rotational period is 10 hours. What would that be in Earth day's?
What is 0.4 earth days
400
How old is the solar system speculated to be?
What is 4.6 Billion Years ago!!
400
What analysis can you make about the Jovian planets rotation and distance from the sun?
What is its further away from the sun, therefore less gravitational pull. In turn it rotates much faster.
400
Astronomers are anxious to find another planet like Earth,. Why Earth? What makes our planet so special?
What is "Goldilocks Zone". Water, perfect distance from the sun, habitable to life.
400
What are the order of the planets from the sun? Think of a Mnemonic device?
What is Mercury, V, E, Mars, JSUN
400
Keep in mind 1 A.U.=95 million miles (the distance from the Earth to the sun). If Venus is 0.7 A.U. from the sun, What is that in miles?
What is 66,500,000 miles away.
500
What are the three steps to the solar system formation?
What is 1. solar nebula: huge cloud of gas and dust that collapsed into a flattened disk. 2. Disk- sun formed at the center of disk while other objects formed around. 3. Solar System-Much of material was cleared away. the sun, planets, and other celestial objects remained.
500
What Jovian planets have rings? Which Jovian planet has the most rings?
What is all, Saturn (1000's)
500
Consider the following equation: Weight=Mass (gravity) Would you weigh more on the Terrestrial planets or Jovian? What about your mass? Why?
What is... You would weigh more on the Jovian planets, because there is more of a gravitational pull. Your mass would remain the same no matter what planet you are on, because mass is the amount of).
500
What are three factors that influence planetary characteristics?
What is impact craters, tectonics, volcanism, weathering, and erosion.
500
Mars has a rotation period of 694 earth days. What would that be in Earth years?
What is 1.9 Earth years.
