Which space body would have more gravitational pull?
#2
What is the difference between an asteroid and a meteoroid?
An asteroid is much bigger and a meteoroid is a broken off chunk/part of an asteroid
Crewed vs an uncrewed mission?
Crewed=has astronauts/people.
Uncrewed=no astronauts/people.
Does a pencil have gravity? Yes/no?
YES everything has gravity.
Which space body pair would have a greater gravitational pull?
yes
What has more gravitational pull: a basketball or a bowling ball?
Bowling ball
How many tails does a comet have and name them?
2: dust tail, ion/gas tail
What happened first: the first rocket was invented or the first telescope was invented. and what century was it invented? 1600, 1700, 1800, 1900, or 2000?
First telescope! 1609.
How does a telescope help us explore space?
It helps us see the surface of the moon/planets
What is the difference between a full rotation and a full revolution?
Revolution is orbiting and rotation is spinning on an axis. Year vs day.
What do the three parts of the ball/string/hand example represent?
hand=earth/sun
string=gravity
ball=moon/earth
What shape/type of orbit does a comet have?
Elliptical or oval.
What is the purpose of the Artemis missions?
To go back to the moon to collect data and run experiments to eventually travel to Mars.
What is the difference between a planet and a dwarf planet AND name a popular example of a dwarf planet that used to be a planet.
A dwarf planet cannot "clear its neighborhood" because it does not have enough mass therefore enough gravity to clear it out. PLUTO
What is a shooting star? Why does it look the way it does?
Meteor, air friction lighting the rock on fire.
What are the two factors that determine the strength of gravity?
Mass and distance
Name all of the planets in order. Which ones are the inner/outer planets and include the asteroid belt.
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, A Belt, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune
Who was the first person to walk on the moon AND what was the name of the mission that he was on?
Neil Armstrong on Apollo 11
What is the Oort cloud?
"Cloud" of comets that orbit the sun outside the range of Neptune
What force governs the motion of our solar system and everything else in the universe?
GRAVITY
What space body in our solar system has the strongest gravitational pull?
SUN
Tell me the three types of meteoroids AND tell me all of the rhymes that go with them.
Meteoroid in the void
Meteor streaks galore
Meteorite hold on tight
How many Artemis missions are there AND which ones are crewed or uncrewed?
3 missions. 1st=uncrewed. 2nd=crewed. 3rd=crewed.
How is orbital speed different among all of the planets in the solar system?
The further from the sun the slower the orbital speed/the closer to the sun the faster the orbital speed.
What is the strength of gravity compared to Earth for BOTH the moon AND Mars?
1/6 for the moon and 1/3 for Mars
