The Solar System
This planet is often called Earth's sister because of its similar mass and size.
What is Venus?
When Earth's Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, it is this season in the Southern Hemisphere?
What is winter?
The difference in a star's apparent magnitude and absolute magnitude is due to this factor--
What is it's distance from Earth?
Industrialized countries release more of this greenhouse gas than non-industrialized countries.
What is carbon dioxide?
A student claims that a certain flower blooms during the full moon every month. This process can verify the student's claims.
What is observation?
It takes Earth this long to make one complete rotation on its axis.
What is a day?
It's warmer in the Southern Hemisphere in January, than in July because it is experiencing this season.
What is Summer?
Gas and dust in interstellar nebulae can form these.
What are stars?
To combat smog, certain cities raised the height of smokestacks. This alleviated smog in their city, but caused this atmospheric problem in neighboring cities (not smog).
What is acid rain?
The prefix "photo" in science means--
What is "in the presence of light?"
The Sun emits energy by converting hydrogen into helium in a process called--
What is fusion?
The cooling of air as it rises is important in the formation of these--
What are clouds?
This measurement allows scientists to compare the brightness of stars.
What is absolute magnitude?
This instrument is used to measure relative humidity.
What is a sling psychrometer?
After analysis, if the data does not match the hypothesis, scientists do this.
What is revise their hypothesis?
What is 4?
Condensation occurs when moist air cools to this temperature (which varies).
What is the dew point?
The Milky Way Galaxy is this shape galaxy.
What is spiral?
As temperature increases, atmospheric pressure does this?
What is decreases?
This is what changes as a result of an experiment.
What is the dependent variable?
This giant storm has been continuously going on Jupiter for at least 300 years.
What is the Great Red Spot?
If the temperature at an area drops 15 degrees, the wind changes direction, and the atmospheric pressure increases this weather situation has probably occurred.
What is a thunderstorm?
(Also acceptable: a cold front has passed)
A comet's tail always points away from the Sun during it's orbit because of this factor.
What is it gets blown by the solar wind?
This causes atmospheric pressure to be greater at Earth's surface.
What is gravity?
This is a scientists that studies weather and atmosphere.
What is a meteorologist?
