The planets rotate around the sun.

b)

The sun rotates around the planets

c)

The planets revolve around the sun.

d)

21.

The student thought about the movement of the planets in our solar system. They learned that the planets are all in orbit because of the sun. The model below shows the orbit and movement of the planets in relation to the sun.


The data table provides information on the distance and period of orbit for the planets closest to the sun.

There is no relationship

b)

The farther the planet from the sun, the longer its period of orbit

c)

The farther the planet from the sun, the shorter its period of orbit

d)

The farther the planet from the sun, the hotter its surface temperature.

22.

The student recently learned about the planets in the solar system. The student realized that the stars in the night sky are not part of our solar system. However, in school, they learned that some of the stars are a part of our galaxy, the Milky Way. The student wanted to learn more information on galaxies and found the following information.


Galaxies

The universe is made up of billions of different objects in space called galaxies. The Sun and the solar system, including Earth, are part of the Milky Way Galaxy, which encompasses hundreds of billions of stars. Galaxies come in lots of different shapes. Our home galaxy, the Milky Way, is a spiral galaxy. Gravity also pulls galaxies together into groups called clusters. These clusters can include just a couple of galaxies or up to thousands. Really big clusters can be tens of millions of light years across or even larger.


Based on the information about galaxies, which of the following best describes a galaxy?

a)

A massive system of stars, dust, planets and other objects bound together by gravity

b)

The visible path of a meteorite as it enters Earth’s atmosphere

c)

Many large frozen planets in motion in an organized space

d)

About ten stars and planets in a single system in space

23.

A student had a flowerpot in her house. Everyday for one month, the student observed changes within the pot. The student developed a model to show the change in growth of the plant.


Based on the student’s investigation, what happened to the plant after one month?

a)

A. The plant used energy from the sunlight to eventually grow.

b)

B. The plant used energy from the water to eventually grow.

c)

C. The plant was unable to use energy from the sun, and eventually died.

d)

D. The plant was unable to use energy from the water, and eventually died.

24.
