Light Speed
Traveling at about 186,000 miles per second, it is the fastest thing in the universe.
What is the Speed of Light?
This is the scientific term for any planet that orbits a star outside of our solar system.
What is an exoplanet?
Solid, liquid, gas, and plasma are all known as these.
What are states of matter?
This is the branch of technology that deals with making and operating robots.
What is Robotics?
This invisible force keeps us on the ground and keeps the moon orbiting the Earth.
What is gravity?
This measurement equals the distance that light travels in one Earth year.
What is a light-year?
Tatooine has two suns, which means it is part of this specific type of star system.
What is a binary star system?
To make a real lightsaber blade, scientists would need to use this super-heated, electrically charged gas.
What is plasma?
NASA’s Curiosity and Perseverance rovers are basically real-world droids exploring this planet.
What is Mars?
Like a Jedi pulling a lightsaber, this real-life invisible force can attract or repel objects without ever touching them.
What is magnetism?
Scientists theorize you would need this shortcut folded through space and time to travel like the Millennium Falcon.
What is a wormhole?
The lava planet Mustafar is very similar to this highly volcanic, real-life moon orbiting Jupiter.
What is Lo?
In real life, you can find plasma in stars, lightning bolts, and these bright, glowing store displays.
What are neon signs?
C-3PO translating languages is an example of this—a computer's ability to "think" and learn like a human.
What is Artificial Intelligence (or A.I.)?
In magnetism, this is the scientific word for when a magnet "pushes" an object away.
What is repel?
If you traveled at the speed of light, you would travel 186,000 miles in this exact amount of time.
What is one second?
Earth resembled the ice planet Hoth when these massive, slow-moving rivers of ice covered large parts of our world.
What are glaciers?
To keep super-hot plasma safely shaped like a sword, scientists would need to trap it inside an invisible force field made of this.
What is magnetism?
Artificial Intelligence isn't just for robots; it is the technology that allows some modern cars to do this without a human touching the steering wheel.
What is drive themselves?
In the study guide, this wise Jedi Master is the one who explained that the Force "surrounds us and penetrates us."
Who is Obi-Wan Kenobi?
In Star Wars, ships jump into this fictional dimension to travel faster than the speed of light and bypass normal space.
What is hyperspace?
This is the two-word name of the real-life historical periods when Earth experienced those freezing, Hoth-like temperatures.
What is an Ice Age?
Our own Sun is actually a giant ball of plasma. It is the only one of these located in our solar system.
What is a star?
Just like C-3PO does for different alien species, real-world A.I. helps computers translate between different ones of these so humans can communicate.
What are languages?
In magnetism, "repel" means to push away. This is the scientific word for when a magnet pulls an object toward it.
What is attract?
