Answers
1
Why are there robots on Mars?
To explore our origin and evolution & look for microbial life
To explore and it's the most accessible planet
Because it could be a destination for the survival of humankind
To explore Mars up close
2
How can you walk on the moon?
They have super heavy weights in their suits
You can because of jets in their suits
Because the moon has gravity like Earth
You can't, they only float
3
Asteroids and Moons can also have rings.
False
True
4
Only planets have moons.
False
True
5
Mars can have crazy dust storms
True
False
6
What's one theory of how the Universe was created?
The Big Bang
The Great Explosion
The Big Bust
The Big Expansion
7
What are rings made of?
Wood and organic particles
Only metal
Snow, Diamonds
Ice, Dust, Debris, Particles from moons and asteroids, soot, diamonds
8
What is the biggest planet?
Jupiter
Neptune
Saturn
Uranus
9
What are different types of planets?
Rocky Planets, Gas Giants, Fire Planets
Ice and dust planets
Ice Giants, Rocky Planets, Gas Giants
Dwarf and Elf Planets
10
The theory of the big bangs says everything started from
An asteroid
A compound
A single point
A black hole
11
What would happen if there was no gravity?
We would collide into each other
Gravity is working against me and gravity wants to bring me down
We would float
We would be stuck to the ground
12
What's the order of the planets?
Mars, Venus, Earth, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune
Venus, Earth, Mars, Mercury, Saturn, Jupiter, Neptune, Uranus
Sun, Mercury, Mars, Earth, Venus, Neptune, Saturn, Uranus, Jupiter, Pluto
13
Pluto is smaller than our moon.
True
False
14
What makes hot and cold weather on mars?
It's only hot, that's why its called the red planet
Because it's in space
It's cold, Because of snow storms
It's mostly cold, due to its thin atmosphere and its farther from the sun
15
How are rocky planets made?
From going beyond the snow line
From gravity of gas and dust, and the big bang
From particles colliding, gravity holding them together, with standing heat
From heavy elements melting
16
Why is Pluto not a planet anymore?
Because it exploded along with a supernova
Because it doesn't clear the neighborhood in its orbit
Because it doesn't orbit the sun
Because it isn't round
17
What makes a planet a planet?
Orbits around the sun, sphere shaped, clears its neighborhood in orbit
Round and goes around the sun
If its big and close to the Sun
If it has a hydrogen core
18
What are the 4 rocky planets?
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars
Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Neptune
Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune
Mercury and Mars- There's only 2 rocky planets and they're the smallest
19
What causes moons and asteroids to be broken up into the rings that make Saturn?
Speed and Fire
They don't make up rings, only ice makes up rings
They liked it and thought Saturn needed to put a ring on it.
The Roche Limit
20
What's evidence scientists can use to disprove flat earthers?
It is flat, NASA is guarding the edge of the edge of Earth
Time Zones, Gravity, Shadows of Earth on the Moon
Because Science
Because it just makes sense
21
Do bigger planets affect us/Earth? If so, how?
Yes, because keep us in orbit
Yes, planets like Jupiter protect us from asteroid collistions
No, Earth's gravity is pretty strong
No, Earth is independent from the other planets
22
How did the planets get to where they are?
Due 2 where the material was that could withstand the heat to form them
They got there from a black dwarf
They got there due to the storm on Jupiter
Due2a giant asteroid going through our solar system @ the time of its birth
23
There is diamond rain on Mercury.
False
True
24
Scientist think it can rain diamonds on some planets.
False
True
25
Why do planets look different? - Choose the BEST answer.
Because they are different colors
Because they have different atmospheres, geographical features, sizes, temp
Because Space would look boring if all the planets were the same
Because Zeus made them different
26
Why are planets round?
Because it's not actually hip to be square
Because gravity pulling equally on all sides of the planet
Because gravity pulling from the black hole in the center of our galaxy
Because they like to go on Merry-Go-Rounds
27
How are gas giants formed?
From hot gas condensing
From stars exploding
From gases and elements condensing and gravity holding them together
Scientists don't know
28
What's a space craft that has explored our planets?
Explorer 1011
Voyager 2
Joy 98
Rover X92
29
Why do some planets have rings?
They are really moons starting to form
Asteroids and moons entering into the roche limit of a planet
It is still a mystery to scientists.
Because it started that way
30
Why does the Earth round but feels flat?
Gravity
Because it really is flat
The tilt of the axis
Because the big bang
31
What's happening in the big red spot on Jupiter?
A giant storm
A bunch of big red rocky mountains
A red lake of gas
Volcanic Eruptions
32
Why do planets spin/rotate?
Black Holes
Inertia-the resistance of any physical object to any change in its velocity
IDK, but some planets spin backwards!
Because of the orbit they are on around the sun
