What keeps the gas surrounding the gas giants from floating off into space?

The planet's strong gravitational pull

Gases do flow into space as more are created

Which would cause a DECREASE in the gravitational pull between the sun and the Earth?

an increase in the distance between the Earth and the sun

a decrease in the number of moons orbiting the Earth

If the Earth spun faster in its orbit

You would weigh less on the moon than the Earth because

Earth has a greater gravitational pull.

Scales don't work reliably in space

You wouldn't; your weight is always the same on any planet.

is burning through Earths atmosphere

is burning through Earth's atmosphere

How are comets and asteroids different?

Asteroids are made of solid rock; comets are made of ice and turn to gas and dust as they get close to the sun

Asteroids have a long, narrow, orbit; comets stay between Mars and Jupiter

Asteroids come from the Oort cloud; comets form from the Asteroid Belt.

Asteroids are solid; comets are liquid

Why do we observe the moon in different parts of the sky during day and night times?

Because both the moon and the Earth are rotating and revolving

If the moon were twice the distance from the Earth, how would it effect solar eclipses?

There would be fewer total eclipses

We would no longer have solar eclipses

There would be fewer partial eclipses

What is true about a SOLAR ECLIPSE? (Pick 4)

Is when the moon passes in between the Earth and sun

Involves the Sun, Moon, and Earth

Requires special eye protection

Is when the shadow of the moon falls on the Earth

Happens more often than a lunar eclipse

Which is NOT a reason for seasonal change?

The Earth moves in the same direction

Sometimes the Earth is closer to the sun

When the South Pole is tilted towards the sun...

It is summer in the southern hemisphere and winter in the northern hemisphere

it is winter in BOTH hemisphere

it is summer in BOTH hemispheres

It is winter in the southern hemisphere and summer in the northern hemisphere

The tilt of Earth's axis and its revolution around the sun

The distance from the sun to the Earth

The movement of the Earth around the sun

What is true about DISTANCE and GRAVITY?

The moon is closer to the Earth than the sun, and therefore has more gravitational pull.

Because the moon is brighter, it has more gravitational pull.

The moon is farther away, so it has less gravitational pull than the sun.

The Earth is closer to the sun than to the moon, so it has a greater gravitational pull
