The Solar System
This is defined as the space system that we live in that includes the Sun, the planets, the moons of each planets, and the asteroid belt
The Solar System
This word is usually associated with losing light
Waning
The person(s) that is the most affected by gravity here in this room
Your teachers!
Earth is titled on its axis by about this many degrees
23.4
True or False
The following statement is an observation:
I learned that Earth is the only planet in our Solar System that supports life.
False - I did not learn this simply by using my senses!
True or False
The reason why the Sun appears so large and bright is because Earth is super tiny.
False - The Sun appears large and bright because the Sun is super close to us.
This is the name of a type of eclipse where the Moon slightly darkens
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
The more mass an object has, the ___________ of an effect gravity has on it
more
This is one of the most obvious effects of Earth's rotation and the Sun's proximity to Earth
Day and night time
Amanuel looks at a diagram of the Solar System and says that Neptune is the furthest planet from the Sun. Is this an observation?
Yes - Amanuel looked at the diagram and made an observation about the distances between planets
This is the Moon phase that comes directly after the waning gibbous
True or False
The more volume an object has, the more affected by gravity it is.
False - A balloon is larger than a tennis ball but is less affected by gravity
If the northern hemisphere is facing towards the Sun, we have this season.
Summer
True or False
One of the patterns created by Earth's rotation is the appearance of seasonal constellations in the night sky
True - When Earth spins, we face different parts of the Sky
This gas giant is so tilted that it looks like its lying on its side
This is the name of the ring created by the moon blocking the Sun in a Solar Eclipse
Corona
When you play soccer, the ball comes back down after kicking it up because
(a) Earth's gravity really hates soccer
(b) The soccer ball naturally falls down not because of gravity
(c) Earth's gravity pushes the ball back down to its core
(d) Earth's gravity pushes the ball back up to the atmosphere
(c) Earth's gravity pushes the ball back down to its core
This inner planet rotates clockwise, the opposite direction that most planets rotate.
Venus
True or False
In order to demonstrate revolution, Alexander spins around by himself. This is a proper way to show revolution
False - Revolution is moving around an object (Earth revolves around the Sun)
This part of the solar system is often forgotten in Solar System Diagram and lies between two planets
The Asteroid Belt
This is moon phase that comes directly after the moon phase that is opposite to a New Moon phase
Waning Gibbous
Rank the following objects from 1 to 5, where 1 is the most gravity-affected and 5 is the least-gravity affected
(Textbook, Balloon, Your Teacher, Tissue Paper, Huge Boulder)
1 - Huge Boulder
2 - Your Teacher
3 - Textbook
4 - Balloon
5 - Tissue Paper
If the Southern Hemisphere is facing neutral to the Sun, but it was previously Summer in the Northern Hemisphere, it is this season in the Southern Hemisphere.
Spring
Identify the statement that is not an observation: 1) I saw that there was a red spot on Jupiter. 2) I heard that this room has a Level 2 voice. 3) I wish I could see an eclipse in San Francisco. 4) This cactus feels super spikey!
3) I wish I could see an eclipse in San Francisco
