mecury
earth
Earth is the only planet to sustain life compared to the rest. This is because
Earth only has one moon that controls gravity
Earth gets most radiant energy from the Sun
Earth contains the proper conditions due to its position from the Sun
Earth contains the most gas in the atmosphere than the rest
What is true about Uranus?
It is the only planet that rotates on its side
It is the only planet that is blue
It is the only planet that contains life
It is the only planet that spins the fastest
All the planets are a different color due to its composition. Mars is called the red planet because
It contains a dye that makes the soil red
It contains minerals causing the color change
Due to the amount of iron oxide found in the soil
Because aliens like the color red
What keeps the planets in orbit around the sun?
gravity
friction
density
distance
The Sun is located at the center of the solar system and does not move. All planets revolve around the sun. Which best explains the motion of the Earth?
There is no force acting upon Earth because there is no air in space
The sun moves in an elliptical orbit and the sun's gravity pulls the Earth along
Earth moves in an elliptical orbit around the sun due to the gravitational force from the sun onto Earth
The gravity on Earth and the sun are the same so there is no force acting on Earth
What causes Venus to travel in the curved path instead of going in a straight line?
Due to the gravitational attraction between the sun and Venus
Due to the gravitational attraction between mercury and venus
Due to the gravitational attraction between the sun and mercury
Due to the gravitational attraction between
What is the force that makes Earth and the rest of the planets revolve around the Sun?
Magnetism
Gravity
The Earth’s force
The Sun’s force
Thanks to gravity the moon is able to
Bright shine in the sky
Changes every month
Orbits around Earth
Stays in place
The command module shown in the picture functions properly because
It has wings
It has a secret parachute
It has a heat shield
It’s a rocket
You’re able to eat, sleep, and pretty much a lot of other things on the ISS like on earth EXCEPT things need to be strapped in place because
The lack of gravity will move everything around
It prevents from people moving furniture
It creates swings for astronauts to have fun
It makes for more space
The ISS is a station that allows humans to do research and train when they’re in space. How do we know they have energy in the station?
They take batteries with them on their trip
It’s energy is obtained from the rocket fuel
Due to the solar panels
Because they have a gym
Astronauts use space suits because
It protects them from cosmic radiation
It allows them to walk on the moon
Protect the, from bacteria on the moon and space
Because they want to look cool
Curiosity rover on mars is an unmanned probe. They have many advantaged but what is the one disadvantage of unmanned probes?
They die quickly
They need batteries
They cannot change or adapt to unexpected situations
They don’t carry many instruments on them for investigations
The sun has visible sun spots. Astronomers noticed that it moves as time passes. This can be determined because
The sun rotates on its axis making the sunspot visible at different times of the month
The temperature changes making the sun spot disappear
It is a shadow of a satellite that orbits the sun
The sun spot is a flow of lava
Which of the following statement is true based on the table?
The smallest planet is the warmest
The planet with the most moons are cold
The planets closest to the sun are the warmest
The largest planets are warmer
