Gravity, Celestial Objects, and Kinetic Energy

Front

What are the inner planets of our solar system?

Back

The inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. They are smaller and rocky compared to the outer planets.

Front

What are the outer planets of our solar system?

Back

The outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. They are larger and mostly made of gas.

How does mass affect gravitational force?

Back

The more mass an object has, the greater the gravitational force it exerts.

Front

What are comets?

Back

Comets are celestial objects made of ice, gas, and dust that orbit the Sun.

Front

What are asteroids?

Back

Asteroids are rocky objects that orbit the Sun, primarily found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion.

Front

How does distance affect gravitational force?

Back

The greater the distance between two objects, the weaker the gravitational force between them.

Front

What is the difference between meteors and meteoroids?

Back

Meteoroids are small rocky or metallic bodies in space, while meteors are meteoroids that enter Earth's atmosphere and produce a streak of light.

Front

What is the role of gravity in the solar system?

Back

Gravity keeps planets in orbit around the Sun and governs the motion of celestial objects.

Front

What is the significance of the asteroid belt?

Back

The asteroid belt contains millions of rocky objects and is located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
