Solar System
The largest planet in our solar system.
Jupiter
This type of eclipse has total, partial, and annular.
Solar eclipse
This process can decompose rocks and can be either physical or chemical.
Weathering
The fundamental subunits of matter.
Atoms
Name the asteroid belt that lays beyond Neptune.
Kuiper belt
This type of eclipse has total, penumbral, and partial.
Lunar eclipse
This type of process removes and transports sediments via moving water, wind, and gravity.
Erosion
Three things found in an atom.
Protons, neutrons, and electrons
This type of motion makes planets move seemingly backwards.
Retrograde
Name both the light and dark parts of the moon.
Foliated, non-foliated, and grades are features of this type of rock.
Metamorphic
An atom differs from another of the same element by having different number of neutrons.
Isotope
This asteroid fragment is what hits the ground on Earth (instead of just passing through the atmosphere).
Meteorites
Days and nights are approximately equal during this phenomenon, which happens twice a year.
Equinox
Name two of the five criteria to being a mineral.
Naturally occuring
Inorganic
Solid
Definite chemical composition
Crystalline structure
Acids usually release this in a solution; bases accept this.
Protons
Hydrogen ions
Eccentricity is what determines the relationship of a planet's elliptical orbit under which law? (Hint, name both person and number).
Kepler's First Law
The Sun is at its furthest point either north or south of the equator during this phenomenon.
Solstice
This process compacts and cements sediments together into sedimentary rocks.
Lithification
Changes in an atom when it is unstable and loses particles. This is used in measuring half-life.
Radioactive decay
