What in an exoplanet?
A planet in our solar system
A planet that was cancelled then is no longer a planet
A planet that is outside of our solar system
A planet that is possibly habitable
If the rotation of the earth becomes faster, then the temperature will
overall increase
overall decrease
be more extreme (hotter in day and cooler at night)
be less extreme (cooler in day and warmer at night)
If the planet orbits closer to the star,
the temperature will be overall warmer
the temperature will be overall cooler
the temperature will be more extreme (hotter and colder)
the temperature will be less extreme (less hot and less cold)
What is the correct order of the bodies for a solar eclipse to happen?
Earth Moon Sun
Moon Sun Earth
Moon Earth Sun
Earth Sun Moon
If the distance between objects increases, the gravitational force
increases
decreases
stays the same
Don't answer this one.
If you were to travel to Mars, your mass would...
increase
decrease
stay the same
what is mass?
If you were to travel to Mars, your weight would
increase
decrease
stay the same
What is weight?
What phase is the moon at 7?
What phase is the moon at 5?
When it is summer in the northern hemisphere, what season is it in the southern hemisphere?
summer
fall
winter
spring
Why do we have moon phases?
The earth blocks the light from hitting the moon, causing different shapes.
The moon blocks the light from the sun, and gets darks
Half of the moon is always lit, but we only see parts of the lit side as it revolves around the earth, making phases.
The evil scientist Mr. Matlock hates the moon and covers it up with a giant blanket, then feels bad and removes the blanket making phases.
When thinking of habitable places in the universe what is the most important factor
magnetosphere (to prevent radiation)
length of the orbit (year)
the type of star it orbits
right temperature for liquid water
When there is a solar eclipse who can see it?
Everyone on the dayside of the Earth
Everyone on the Night side fo the earth
A few people on the dayside of the earth
A few people on the night side of the earth
Generally speaking, if a planet has a thicker/more dense atmosphere its temperature is
hotter
cooler
no effect
In science, what makes a claim stronger?
Louder presentation
More evidence
A teacher said so
I know someone who said it
With better technology,
the more science understanding develops
the more we can play games during online learning
the more it will take over the world
the more cool things we have and we can be lazy (WALL-E)
If the axis tilt of Earth was 12o, what happens to seasons?
They would become more extreme, hotter summer, colder winter.
They would become less extreme, cooler summer, warmer winter
They would be the same as now
There would be no seasons, it would always be the same.
How much of the moon is always lit up?
Full
3/4
1/2
1/4
