This diagram is attempting to compare the sizes of the four inner planets. What is wrong with this diagram?

Mercury is not larger than Venus.

Earth is not the largest inner planet.

Choose THREE correct statements about the effects of gravity of Earth, the moon, and within space.

The moon has less gravitational force than Earth because it is smaller and has less mass.

The Sun's gravitational pull is what keeps the planets in its solar system in orbit.

The Sun has more gravity than any planet in the solar system because it has the most mass.

The orbit of each planet in the solar system is controlled by its moon(s).

Earth's tides are affected most by the Sun's gravitational force.

A student is researching differences between planets and asteroids. The student wonders why planets are generally spherical, while most asteroids are not. Which of the following statements most likely explains this shape difference?

Asteroids have too little gravity to form a spherical shape

Asteroids are more likely to slam into planets, giving them irregular shapes

Planets are much older than asteroids.

Planets are formed from gases, while asteroids are rock.

A table comparing three celestial objects is shown here. Which identification BEST differentiates the objects as an asteroid, meteoroid, or comet? Select ALL that apply.

Object 1 is a comet because it has an icy cover.

Object 2 is an asteroid because it is large and stays in space.

Object 3 is a meteoroid because it potentially broke off from another object and can enter Earth's atmosphere.

Objects 1 and 2 are meteoroids because they are larger than the other object.

Objects 2 and 3 are comets because they are rocky and can, occasionally, enter the atmosphere.

This is Marília Meteorite, which fell in Marília, Brazil, in 1971. Why is this a meteorite and not a meteoroid?

It is a meteorite because it has entered Earth's atmosphere and landed on the surface.

It is a meteorite because it is made of ice.

It is a meteorite because it is still in space.

It is a meteorite because it is larger than a comet.

Although Neptune is the farthest planet from the Sun, it travels in a fixed orbit around the Sun and never changes its path. What is the reason for this?

The gravitational pull of the Sun holds Neptune in its orbit.

The magnetic pull of the Sun holds Neptune in its orbit.

The nuclear force acting between the Sun and Neptune holds the latter in its orbit.

The repulsive force of bodies outside the solar system holds Neptune in its orbit.

Can you correctly identify four facts about these two historical models of the solar system?

Ptolemy's model, B, was called the geocentric model.

The geocentric model proposed that the Earth did not move but the other planets did.

Initially, heliocentric meant that the Sun was the center of the universe, but as astronomers studied the movement of the planets, that was changed.

Galileo's model, B, was called the heliocentric model.
