Interesting Quiz Over Solar System - Quiz

2.

Which is the closest planet to the Sun?
- Earth
- Jupiter
- Mars
- Mercury
Correct Answer

A. Mercury

Explanation

Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun. It orbits the Sun at an average distance of about 36 million miles, which is much closer than any other planet in our solar system. Due to its proximity to the Sun, Mercury experiences extreme temperatures, with its surface reaching scorching temperatures during the day and freezing temperatures at night. Its close proximity to the Sun also means that Mercury has a relatively short year, completing one orbit around the Sun in just 88 Earth days.

Which is the only planet that could float on water?
- Saturn
- Earth
- Uranus
- Mercury
Correct Answer

A. Saturn

Explanation

Saturn is the only planet that could float on water due to its low density. It has a specific gravity less than 1, which means that its average density is less than the density of water. This is because Saturn is mostly composed of hydrogen and helium gases, making it less dense than the other planets. Therefore, if a body of water large enough were found, Saturn would be able to float on it.

5.

What is the hottest planet in the solar system?
- Mercury
- Venus
- Uranus
- Saturn
Correct Answer

A. Mercury

Explanation

Mercury is the correct answer because it is the closest planet to the Sun, making it the hottest planet in the solar system. Its proximity to the Sun allows it to receive intense heat and radiation, resulting in extremely high temperatures. The planet's thin atmosphere is unable to retain this heat, causing dramatic temperature fluctuations between its scorching hot daytime and freezing cold nighttime.
