One of the conditions for a planet to support life is to have a surface temperature that allows for water to exist as a solid, liquid, or a gas. The boiling point of water is 212°F, and the freezing point is 32°F. Based on the data in the table , which planet has the ability to support life?

B. Planet B because its distance from the sun allows a temperature for water to change states.

A. Planet A because it is the closest to the sun and its surface temperature allows water to be a gas.

C. Planet C because it is far enough away from the sun to allow water to exist as a liquid.

D. Planet D because it is the farthest away of all the planets where water will only exist as solid.

What property of the gas giants would explain their having more moons than the terrestrial planets?

Gas giants are more massive than Earth and thus have greater gravitational forces, so they could attract more objects.

Gas giants rotate more rapidly than Earth, so they eject more material that could form natural satellites.

Gas giants are less dense than Earth, so they contain less material that could form natural satellites.

Gas giants are farther from the sun than Earth, so there are fewer objects in that part of space to attract into orbits.

Earth has several ideal features which enable it to support life. MOST important is the

presence and amount of liquid water on Earth's surface.

relationship between Earth and its moon.

How does mass affect gravitational force?

Gravitational force increases as the masses of the objects increase.

Gravitational force decreases as the masses of the objects increase.

Gravitational force increases as the masses of the objects decrease.

Gravitational force between objects does not depend on their masses.

Because of inertia, a moving object will keep and an object at rest will remain at .

moving; rest, unless a force stops it or changes the object's direction.

rest unless a force stops at or changes the object's direction; moving

There was a report on the news about a space object rapidly approaching Earth. Which of the following questions could students ask to BEST determine if the object is a comet, asteroid, or meteoroid?

What is the composition of the object?

Is the object smaller than a planet?

Does the object orbit the sun or other planets?

Did the object originate inside the solar system or outside the solar system?

Where do most asteroids revolve around the Sun?

between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter

between the orbits of the Sun and Mercury

between the orbits of Neptune and Pluto

between the orbits of Earth and Venus

People sometimes talk about seeing shooting stars. What do they actually see?

a meteor that burns up in Earth's atmosphere.

a meteoroid traveling through space

a star that is moving through the galaxy

a comet that has come close enough to Earth's atmosphere to be seen
