Questions 15

Answers

1
Ancient people designated certain star patterns as constellations. Why not include planets
Planets don't maintain fixed positions
Planets look bigger than stars
Planets are more difficult to see than stars
There are not enough planets to from a constellation
2
Which best describes why gravity on Earth has a stronger attraction with you than the Sun does
Despite being less massive, Earth is closer.
Earth has more mass that the Sun
The Sun has more mass than Earth
Earth has more magnetism than the Sun
3
What should realistic model of the sun contain
sunspots represented by white areas on the sun's surface
showing the sun revolving around the planet
explain center of the sun rotates faster than the poles
explain that the sun is made of gas layers; has an iron core
4
Before scientists proved the heliocentric model, what was thought to be at the center?
A star other than the Sun
Earth
A black hole
The Solar System had no center because planets' were random
5
light shines on 3 different colors of paper temp recorded after 3 hours. dependent variable?
the color of the paper
the temperature of the light
the color of the light
the temperature of the paper
6
Which statement accurately describes Newton's law of universal gravitation?
As the planet orbits, the planet sweeps out equal areas/time
The planets orbit the sun in an elliptical pattern.
Gravity increases as distance between two objects is less
The planets orbit the sun in a cubical motion
7
The correct order of the Sun's layers from outside to inside
core, photosphere, chromosphere, corona
photosphere, corona, chromosphere, core
corona, photosphere, chromosphere, core
corona, chromosphere, photosphere, core
8
Why were models of the early Ptolemy solar system replaced by the Copernican model?
A precise age has been given to the solar system
more observations have allowed scientist to make changes
Computers are able to develop models better than humans
A different set of laws governs the motion of the S.S
9
If Jupiter is 3x the size of Saturn, and is closer to the sun than Saturn. What can conclude
There is a lesser g force between Jupiter and the Sun
A greater g force exists between Jupiter and the Sun
There is an equal g force between Jupiter the Sun and Saturn
There is no g force between the sun and these two planets
10
Gravitational force will be greater between two objects that...
Closer together
smaller
Are the same size
farther apart
11
Which statement summarizes the impact of the idea of a heliocentric solar system?
Earth was thought to be created by random factors.
Earth was much older than originally thought.
Earth was no longer thought to be the center of the universe
Earth was thought to move different from other space objects
12
What was the reason for Kepler's model to replace Copernicus's S.S. model over time?
Irregularities with the motion of asteroids
irregularities with the motion of the Moon
irregularities with the motion of the planets
irregularities with the motion of the Sun
13
What is the name of the sun centered model of our solar system.
Geocentric Model
Heliocentric Model
Lunar Model
Galaxy model
14
When looking at the sun through a telescope, you see dark areas on the surface. What are these
solar flares
prominences
convection
sunspots
15
light shines on 3 different colors of paper temp recorded after 3 hours. independent variable?
color of light
time temp is taken
color of paper
temperature after three hours
