This image shows something entering our atmosphere. What are they?

Comet on left & Meteor on right

In the early '70s, what was the rare opportunity that scientists realized would occur in 1977?

A 176-year alignment of the gas giants.

Why was Voyager 2 launched first?

Voyager 1 was going to be traveling faster

On the Voyagers, radio communication was primarily used…

to determine physical properties & chemicals on the planets

Would it ever have been possible for Neptune to revolve around one of its moons?

No, cuz smaller objects always revolve around bigger objects

A spectrometer takes in light, breaks it into spectral components and then...

digitizes the signal as a function of wavelength

The 5 sketches represent 5 ways that waves interact with a medium. List the names in order..

Transmission-Reflection-Refraction-Absorption-Diffraction

The reason that Tennessee's summers are warmer than our winters is because, during summer

our northern hemisphere is slanted more toward the sun

Ocean high tides occur...

when the moon is at either at its new or full phase

In addition to the gravitational assist, how can the Voyagers travel as fast as they are now?

Velocity at the end of the launch process & Newton’s 1st Law

What is the correct order of the gas giants (closest to farthest from the sun).

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune

Images on each Voyager were made with the use of…

two cameras: wide & narrow angle lens

What is the primary reason that a planet in our solar system has more moons than other planets?

It's primarily due to the planet's mass.

for communications back to earth
to measure temperatures & size of particles in Saturn rings
to determine physical properties & chemicals on the planets
9
Would it ever have been possible for Neptune to revolve around one of its moons?
Yes, if it had been set in motion first
Yes, if the moon was created first
No, because the Neptune was created first
No, cuz smaller objects always revolve around bigger objects
