- Q3Which model of the solar system is current?GeocentricHydrocentricPaleocentricHeliocentric300s
- Q4Which is NOT one of Kepler's laws of motion?The planets move in elliptical orbits.The farther away from the Sun a planet's orbit is, the slower the planet moves.Every particle in the universe attracts every other particle with a force joining them.The planets move faster when they are near the Sun than when they are farther away.300s
- Q5Which statement best describes the motion of the Earth around the Sun?Speed increases the closer the Earth is to the Sun and decreases the farther it is from the Sun.The speed of the Earth is constant regardless of its distance from the Sun.Speed increases the farther the Earth is from the Sun and decreases the closer it is to the Sun.The speed of the Earth is constant because the distance remains the same between the Earth and the Sun.300s
