    The name of the Earth's moon is the __________

    Explanation
    The name of the Earth's moon is simply "moon." This is because the word "moon" is used to refer to any natural satellite that orbits a planet, and since Earth has only one natural satellite, it is commonly referred to as "the moon."

    _________ is he furthest planet in the solar system.

    Explanation
    Neptune is the furthest planet in the solar system. This is because it is located at an average distance of about 2.8 billion miles from the Sun, making it the farthest planet from our star. Its distance from the Sun allows it to have a longer orbital period than any other planet, taking approximately 165 Earth years to complete one orbit. Additionally, Neptune's distance from the Sun contributes to its extremely cold temperatures and its characteristic blue color, caused by the presence of methane in its atmosphere.

    What are asteroids made of?

    • Vitamins

    • Ice

    • Plastic

    • Rock

    Correct Answer
    A. Rock
    Explanation
    Asteroids are primarily made of rock. They are rocky objects that orbit the sun and are remnants from the early formation of our solar system. These rocky materials can vary in composition, but they are generally composed of silicate minerals, metals, and other rocky substances. While some asteroids may contain traces of ice, vitamins, or even organic compounds, the predominant material found in asteroids is rock.

    Which of the following IS true?

    • You wouldn't be able to jump on the moon.

    • The moon's gravity would allow you to jump high.

    • The Earth has less gravity than it's moon.

    • None of the above.

    Correct Answer
    A. The moon's gravity would allow you to jump high.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "The moon's gravity would allow you to jump high." This is because the moon's gravity is about one-sixth of the Earth's gravity, which means that you would weigh much less on the moon. With less gravitational force pulling you down, you would be able to exert more force and jump higher on the moon compared to on Earth.

    Pluto is the coldest planet.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Pluto is often referred to as a "dwarf planet" rather than a planet, but regardless of its classification, it is indeed the coldest known celestial body in our solar system. Its average surface temperature is around -375 degrees Fahrenheit (-225 degrees Celsius), making it colder than any other planet. This is due to its distance from the sun and its thin atmosphere, which cannot retain heat effectively. Therefore, the statement "Pluto is the coldest planet" is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Why is Pluto a cold planet?

    • It is too close to our Sun

    • It's far away from our Sun

    • It's outside our solar system

    • Has no moons

    Correct Answer
    A. It's far away from our Sun
    Explanation
    Pluto is a cold planet because it is far away from our Sun. The distance between Pluto and the Sun is much greater compared to other planets in our solar system. This means that Pluto receives significantly less sunlight and heat energy, causing its surface temperature to be extremely cold. Additionally, Pluto's thin atmosphere cannot retain heat effectively, further contributing to its cold conditions.

    Which planet do think is furthest from our Sun?

    • Luna

    • Pluto

    • Earth

    • Saturn

    Correct Answer
    A. Pluto
    Explanation
    Pluto is the correct answer because it is the furthest planet from our Sun. While it was once considered the ninth planet in our solar system, it was later reclassified as a dwarf planet. Pluto's highly elliptical orbit takes it much farther away from the Sun compared to the other planets, making it the farthest planet in our solar system.

    What is a unique feature of Saturn?

    • It's a moon

    • It has lots of water

    • It bright pink in color

    • It has rings

    Correct Answer
    A. It has rings
    Explanation
    Saturn is unique because it has rings. These rings are made up of countless particles, ranging in size from tiny grains to larger chunks. The rings are composed mostly of ice particles with traces of rocky material. They orbit around Saturn's equator, creating a stunning and distinctive feature that sets Saturn apart from other planets in our solar system.

    What is the name of Earth's Moon?

    • Moona

    • Muna

    • Mooon

    What is the name of Earth's Moon?

    • Moona

    • Muna

    • Moon

    • Luna

    Correct Answer
    A. Moon
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "moon" because it is the commonly known and accepted name for Earth's natural satellite. The word "moon" is widely used and recognized in various languages and cultures to refer to the celestial body that orbits around our planet.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Which of the following IS true?

    • You wouldn't be able to jump on the moon.

    • The moon's gravity would allow you to jump high.

    • The Earth has less gravity than it's moon.

    • None of the above.

    Correct Answer
    A. The moon's gravity would allow you to jump high.
    Explanation
    The answer is "The moon's gravity would allow you to jump high." This is because the moon's gravity is approximately one-sixth of the Earth's gravity. With lower gravity, it would be easier to overcome the gravitational force and jump higher on the moon compared to on Earth.
