Mars has a thin atmosphere and is home to the largest volcano and the deepest canyon in the solar system. It is also a focus of scientific exploration, with several missions sent to study its geology, climate, and the possibility of past or present life.

Correct Answer

A. 8

Explanation

There are 8 planets in our solar system. The correct answer is 8 because Pluto, which was previously considered the ninth planet, was reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006. Therefore, the current count of planets in our solar system is 8, including Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

Correct Answer

A. Sun

Explanation

The sun is at the center of the solar system. It is a star, and all the planets, including Earth, orbit around it. The sun is much larger and more massive than any other object in the solar system, and its gravitational pull keeps all the planets in their orbits. It provides heat and light to the planets, including Earth, making it essential for sustaining life.

Which planet rolls on its side like a bowling ball?
- Earth
- Jupiter
- Saturn
- Uranus
Correct Answer

A. Uranus

Explanation

Uranus is the correct answer because it is the only planet in our solar system that rolls on its side. This is due to its unique axial tilt, which causes it to rotate almost perpendicular to its orbital plane. As a result, Uranus appears to roll on its side like a bowling ball as it orbits the Sun. This distinctive feature sets Uranus apart from the other planets and makes it an interesting object of study for astronomers.
