Planet Characteristics
This planet is known to be hottest planet in the solar system even though it is not the closest to the sun
What is Venus
Currently there is no evidence that suggests that there is life on Mars. This is most likely because Mars does not have a good enough ________ to provide protection from the harsh conditions of space.
What is atmosphere
Water is the first word in the acronym of WAGON, when looking at habitability for a planet, it is important to have water in this state of matter
What is liquid
The strength of a celestial bodies gravitational force relies on these two factors
What is mass and distance
Our solar system has this many planets
What is eight planets
The terrestial planets got their name from the type of surface found on them, which can be describes as this
What is Rocky Planets
Celestial bodies in space without an atmosphere tend to have many craters on their surfaces. This is due to the inability to burn these before they hit the ground
What is meteors
In terms of the composition of our atmosphere, the most important gas to look out for would be the presence of this, which is given off by plants after completing photosynthesis
What is oxygen
In our solar system, we have eight planets that orbit a star. We also have moons that orbit these
What is planets
This celestial object can be described as an icy rock with a "tail"
What is a Comet
These celestial bodies are the planets known as the "Terrestial Planets" (List them)
What is Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars
Without an atmosphere, Earth would be subject to the suns full intensity including this dangerous form of radiation
What is UV or ultraviolet light
This zone got its name from a planet being the "Just right" distance from a star.
What is the Goldilocks Zone
In order to increase the gravitational strength of two celestial bodies, you could increase this factor
What is mass
A fast moving rock in outter space is known as a meteroid. But when the rock successfully passes through the atmosphere and hits the surface of a planet, it becomes known as this
What is a meteorite
These celestial bodies make up the planets known as the "Gas Giants" (List them)
What is Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune
The name of this "effect" allows for stable temperatures on Earth even through the night by trapping heat from the sun in the Earth's atmosphere.
What is greenhouse effect
This word found in the acronym of WAGON refers to elements that are needed for bodily growth, reproduction, and repair.
What is Nutrients
In order to increase the gravitational strength of two celestial bodies, you could decrease this factor
What is decrease distance
The movement of celestial objects in the solar system including the Kuiper Belt are driven by this force. (include the name celestial body that is the source of this force)
The Sun's Gravity
These two planets are separated by the asteroid belt
What is Mars and Jupiter
The atmosphere is very important to Earth's habitability, especially for these three reasons
What is protection from UV radiation, protection from meteors, and stable temperatures from greenhouse effect.
The goldilocks zone is very important to a planets habitability. That is because if a planet is in the habitable zone, it is possible to have these two these two features
What is stable temperatures and liquid water
Generally speaking, the greater the distance a planet is from the Sun, the longer it will take to do this
What is orbit the Sun
This celestial structure is known to be the edge of the solar system and consists of small icy particles
What is the Oort Cloud
