100

The definition of an exoplanet

What is "A planet that orbits a star outside of our solar system" ?

200

Gravity gets stronger as this gets larger

What is mass?

200

A method used by the Kepler Space Telescope that has found the most exoplanet

What is The Transit Method (Searching for Shadows)?

300

The amount Earth's gravity will get weaker by if you increase your distance to 3 Earth radii away (hint: inverse square law graph)

What is 1/9th weaker?

300

Kepler's 2nd Law

An imaginary line extending from the star to a planet as it orbits sweeps out equal area in equal amounts of time.
