Astronauts on the Moon appear to move in slow motion and can jump really high and far compared to on Earth. Why is this?

• Because the force of gravity is less on the Moon

• Beacuse the Force of gravity is more on the Moon

• Because there is no air on the Moon

• Because their space suits make them stronger

If gravity pulls objects towards the Earth, why can astronauts, satellites, and even the Moon stay in orbit without falling to Earth?

• Because there is no gravity in space

• They are falling to Earth, but because they are also moving along really fast, they never land on Earth

• Because the Earth is rotating and spins out of the way

What is the Sun's role in tides on Earth?

• It is the main factor influencing all tides

• It causes spring and neap tides

• It has no role and doesn't influence tides at all

• It causes autumn and nape tides

Jimi visits the beach one day and notices that at high tide the water reaches almost entirely to the back of the beach. They visit the beach again a week later and notice that now at high tide, the water only reaches part way up the beach. Why is this?

• Their first visit was during a spring tide, the second visit was during a neap tide

• Their first visit was during a neap tide, the second visit was during a spring tide

• The Moon must have been further away so the tide wasn't as big for the second visit

• It was a different time of day and they should just waited a bit longer.
