- Q1Which of the following is true about comets and meteors?They are made of rockThey become asteroidsThey are made of iceThey are made of metal30s
- Q2The image above represents which of Kepler's Laws?FourthThirdSecondFirst30s
- Q3According to Kepler's 3rd Law...the farther a planet is away from the sun, the longer it takes a planet to complete one revolutionall planets travel in a circleall planet's travel in an ellipseplanet's travel faster when closer to the sun30s
- Q4Which of the following incorrectly describes the Oort Cloud?natural satelliteicy shell around the solar system3 parts: inner, outer and planetary regionorigin of most long term comets30s
- Q5Which of the following does not affect the shape of an Analemma Calendar?the change in the Earth's obrital velocitythe size of the Earththe shape of Earth's orbitthe tilt of the Earth30s
- Q6Which of the following correctly compares and contrasts celestial bodies?The Earth and Venus are both natural satellites, but Venus has an inverted axisComets and asteroids are both made of rock, but asteroids have 3 partsThe sun and asteroids are both natural satellites, but the sun is much largerThe Oort Cloud and comets are both made of ice, but the Oort cloud is a natural satellite30s
- Q7Which of the following is not evidence for the most accepted theory of the solar system?Due to their high boiling point, planets near the sun are mostly made of metalAll planets rotate in the same directionScientists can view solar systems forming throughout the universe using telescopesLike the sun, the innermost planets are largely composed of hydrogen30s
- Q8Which of the following is the most accepted theory of solar system formation?Kepler TheoryNebular TheoryBig Bang TheoryCapture Theory30s
- Q9Which of the following explains how Newton's 1st Law of Motion and Kepler's First Law of Planetary Motion are similar?Due to inertia planets want to travel in a straight line, but the gravity of the sun and the other foci in the solar system cause planets to travel in an ellipseThe farther away a planet is from the sun, the less gravity will affect the planet, so planets farther away orbit more slowlyDue to inertia, planets want to travel in a straight line, but the force of gravity is less the farther a planet is away, so the slower a planet will orbit30s
- Q10Which of the following is not evidence for the Big Bang Theory?blue shiftred shiftCMBRHubble's Law30s
- Q11Which of the following is not part of a low mass star's evolution?white dwarfstellar nebulaplanetary nebulablack hole30s
- Q12Which type of stars are extremely bright, but have a low temperature?Supergiantsmain sequence starswhite dwarfsred giants45s
- Q13Which of the following statements correctly explains where nuclear fusion occurs?Nuclear fusion of smaller elements occur in supernovas. Larger elements are formed on Earth.Nuclear fusion of larger elements occur in supergiants. Smaller elements are formed in nebulaesNuclear fusion of elements smaller than iron occurs in the core of stars. Larger elements are formed in supernovas.45s
