Answers
1
Is Gravity constant?
Yes
No
Gravity changes based on Mass and Distance of the two
Gravity is always the same, it never gets stronger
2
What is an orbit?
The path that a moon or planet takes around another object
Something at rest will stay at rest
A circle
A straight line, something in motion will stay in motion
3
Where is the moon located in it's orbit when it is a Full Moon?
The moon is covered by the shadow of the Earth
Earth, Sun, Moon
Sun, Earth, Moon
Sun, Moon, Earth
4
Is the Moon ever covered by the shadow of Earth? If so, when?
Yes, during the phases of the moon
Yes, but only during a Lunar Eclipse
No.
Yes, during a Solar Eclipse
5
What two factors impact the force of Gravity?
Mass and Distance
Distance and Size
Volume and Density
Mass and Density
6
Approximately how long is a phase cycle of the moon?
1 year
Every 2 months
25 days
1 month
7
How prepared do you feel for this Quiz?
REALLY PREPARED
STUDY STUDY STUDY STUDY STUDY STUDY is what I need!
Sort of prepared, I should study a little bit
Not prepared, I should really study
8
What is "angle of incidence"?
A fancy term related to seasons that I don't remember
The curvature of the Earth
The 90 degree angle where the sun is most direct
The angle in which the suns rays hit the Earth
9
What is the difference between "Waning" and "Waxing"?
Waxing is when the moon appears to get larger
Waning is when the moon appears to get larger
Waxing is when the moon appears to get smaller
Waning is when the moon appears to get smaller
10
When the direct sunlight is on the Equator, what are the two possible seasons?
Fall, Spring
Fall, Winter
Winter, Summer
Spring, Summer
11
How awesome are you?
REALLY AWESOME
REALLY REALLY REALLY AWESOME
REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY AWESOME
REALLY REALLY AWESOME
12
What is a different way to say "Point of Incidence"?
The point where the sunlight is most direct
The points where the sunlight hits the Earth
All the indirect sunlight
A fancy term I don't remember
13
What does the law of Inertia say?
An object in motion will begin to slow down
An object at rest will stay at rest unless pushed/pulled
Objects will stay in orbit
An object in motion will stay in motion unless force to stop
14
What causes the seasons?
Earth moves closer and further away from the sun
PICK ME! PICK ME!
Orbit of Earth, Tilt of Earth, Location of Direct Sunlight
Orbit of Earth
15
Why is the location of the most direct sunlight important to our Seasons?
It's winter where the most direct light hits
The location tells us how hot of a summer we will have
The location of most direct sunlight does NOT matter
The area of most direct sunlight determines the Season
16
Why does the location of most direct light change throughout the year?
The most direct light is always on the Equator
Because the rotation of the Earth changes
The tilt of the earth and the orbit around the sun
The location doesn't change throughout the year
17
What two laws of physics create an orbit?
Inertia and Law of conservation of mass
I don't know what an orbit is
Gravity Only
Gravity and Inertia
18
Is Inertia a force? TRUE or FALSE
FALSE
TRUE
19
When the direct sunlight is in the Northern Hemisphere, What season is it in the southern?
Fall
Spring
Summer
Winter
20
When the direct sunlight is in the northern hemisphere, what season is it in the north?
Fall
Spring
Summer
