Earth-based telescopes collect energy in which types of electromagnetic waves?

Radio waves, visible light, and some microwaves

Choose the option below that best illustrates the difference between an Astronomical Unit and a Light-Year.

Light- years represent the distance light travels in one year; Astronomical Units are about the distance from the Earth to the Sun.

Astronomical Units are larger than Light-years.

Light-years and Astronomical Units are not different; they are the same length.

Light-years represent the time it takes for the light from the Sun to reach Earth; Astronomical Units represent the time it takes for the Earth to orbit the Sun.

Earth exists in the habitable zone of our solar system, often referred to as the "Goldilocks Zone." This has allowed for Earth to generate life because being in the "Goldilocks Zone" allows for Earth to have what that all life (that we know of) needs to survive?

Geothermal activity that warms the planet

An atmosphere made primarily of Nitrogen and Oxygen

Gravity is the force that an object exerts on other objects because of its mass. Which choice accurately describes the effects distance and mass have on gravity. (Select Two)

The larger (or more massive) an object is, the stronger its gravity will be.

The closer to objects are, the stronger their gravity will be.

The closer to objects are, the weaker their gravity will be.

The smaller (or more massive) an object is, the stronger its gravity will be.

As the moon moves from a new moon to a full moon, you see:

The amount of light the moon is receiving is increasing

The amount of light the moon is receiving is decreasing

the amount of light the moon gets staying constant

(0 days = New Moon) (30 days = Full Moon) (60 days = Full Moon)

(100 days = Full Moon) 15 days = New Moon) (45 days = New Moon)
