What is red, orange, yellow, blue white, blue..our Sun is yellow?
200
This is specifically where Earth is located in the Milky Way galaxy. (double points for the name of the arm, and the supercluster name where our galaxy is located)
What is Earth is located on an "arm" of the spiral galaxy and this arm is called...The Orion Arm and the Virgo supercluster?

This is how long ago OUR solar system formed and the lifespan of our Sun.
What is our solar system formed around 4.6 billion years ago and our sun is about 1/2 way through its lifespan and has the gas / energy to shine for another 4.5 billion years?
300
These are the different types of star systems, which one our Sun is in and what stars are made of.
What is solitary, binary and multiple and our Sun is a solitary star, all stars are made of H?

This is where the asteroid belt is located.
What is between Mars and Jupiter?

This is the the meaning of density and why this term is so important to this chapter.
What is how much mass an object has in a specific volume and this term is important because it is relative to the planets and how dense the core of the inner planets is with the metals that make them up?
400
This is specifically how planets formed during the Big Bang.
What is the planets formed from leftover gas, ice and dust after the formation of the Sun during the Big Bang?
400
This is what the color of a star tells us about it.
What is the color tells us the temperature of the star: Red=cooler, Blue=hottest?
400
This is where the old and new stars are located within a spiral galaxy.
What is the old stars at near the center bulge and the new stars are located in the spiral arms?
400
This is the metal that is in the core of the rocky planets and the chemical symbol for it...double points for the chemical symbol for water and helium.
What is the metal is Iron, Fe and the chemical symbols for water: H20, Helium= He?
400
This is the difference between a meteroid, meteor, and meteorite.
What is a meteroid is in space, a meteor goes through the atmosphere with a flash of light and a meteorite hits the Earth?
500
This is the group of planets that have few or no moons and this group of planets has rings.
What are inner planets, outer planets?

The 6th grade class is going to travel to the nearest star, (not counting our Sun)... . this is the name of it and how long it would take us to travel there in light years.
What is Proxima Centauri and 4.2 light years away? (perhaps we should reconsider this trip. that is a long time together..hahaha)

This is the listing of these stellar bodies from smallest to biggest: galaxy, Sun, planets, asteroids, dwarf planets, cluster, supercluster, meteoroids.
What is meteoroid, asteroid, dwarf planet, planet, Sun, galaxy, cluster, supercluster?
500
The 6th grade is on a field trip to the moon, we find a rock there and we bring it back to Earth. This is how we find the density of that moon rock.
What is we divide its mass by its volume?
500
This is the reason why the outer planets are the gas giants and not more solid and rocky like the inner planets.
What is:
The Sun formed first, then the planets. There was a lot of wind due to the formation of the rocky planets. The inner planets are dense, and the majority of the heavy metals, rock and dust stayed there and the remaining gas blew away allowing gravity to form this blown away gas into the Gas Giants?
