    Which planet is closest to the sun?

    • Earth

    • Mars

    • Venus

    • Mercury

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    Mercury is the correct answer because it is the planet closest to the sun. It is located only about 36 million miles away from the sun, making it the closest planet in our solar system. Mercury's proximity to the sun also means that it has a very short year, completing a full orbit around the sun in just about 88 Earth days. Additionally, Mercury experiences extreme temperature variations due to its close proximity to the sun, with surface temperatures reaching highs of around 800 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and dropping to lows of around -290 degrees Fahrenheit at night.

    Correct Answer
    A. Galaxy
    Explanation
    The Milky Way refers to the galaxy in which our solar system is located. It is a vast system of stars, planets, and other celestial objects bound together by gravity. The term "Milky Way" comes from its appearance as a hazy band of light in the night sky, caused by the combined glow of billions of stars. It is one of billions of galaxies in the universe, and our understanding of the Milky Way has been greatly enhanced through advancements in astronomy and space exploration.

    • Earth, sun, moon

    Correct Answer
    A. Planets, stars and meteors
    Explanation
    Our solar system is made up of planets, stars, and meteors. Planets are celestial bodies that orbit around the sun, while stars are massive balls of gas that emit light and heat. Meteors, on the other hand, are small rocky or metallic objects that enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up, creating a streak of light in the sky. These three components play a crucial role in shaping and defining our solar system.

    Which way do planets rotate?

    • Optical

    • Symetrical

    • Elipses

    • Niether

    Correct Answer
    A. Elipses
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "elipses." Planets rotate in elliptical orbits around the sun. This means that their paths are not perfect circles but rather elongated ovals. As they move along these elliptical paths, they also rotate on their own axes. This rotation gives rise to day and night cycles on the planets.

    Which is a real star.

    • Eplise

    • South star

    • North star

    • Elion

    Correct Answer
    A. North star
    Explanation
    The North star is a real star that is also known as Polaris. It is located almost directly above the Earth's North Pole and appears stationary in the night sky. It has been used for centuries as a navigational tool, as its position remains relatively constant while other stars appear to move across the sky. The North star is a reliable reference point for determining direction, making it an important celestial object for travelers and astronomers alike.
