What is the nearest planet to the Sun?
- Jupiter
- Saturn
- Mercury
- The Earth
Correct Answer

A. Mercury

Explanation

Mercury is the correct answer because it is the nearest planet to the Sun. Being the closest planet, it has an average distance of about 36 million miles from the Sun. This proximity to the Sun also means that Mercury has a very short year, taking only about 88 Earth days to complete one orbit around the Sun. Additionally, Mercury has extreme temperature variations due to its close proximity to the Sun, with temperatures reaching up to 800 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and dropping to -290 degrees Fahrenheit at night.

There are 4 stages to meteoroids.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

The statement "There are 4 stages to meteoroids" is false. Meteoroids do not have stages. A meteoroid is a small rocky or metallic object that travels through space. When it enters the Earth's atmosphere, it becomes a meteor and produces a streak of light in the sky. If it survives the journey through the atmosphere and lands on Earth's surface, it is called a meteorite. Therefore, there are only three stages associated with meteoroids: meteoroid, meteor, and meteorite.

Correct Answer

A. A meteor is a rock from space that comes on Earth's atmosphere.

What is a constellation?

- A constellation is a group of stars.
- A constellation is a group of stars that form a picture.
- A constellation is pictured with astronauts in them.
Correct Answer

A. A constellation is a group of stars that form a picture.

Explanation

A constellation is a group of stars that form a picture. This means that when we look at a group of stars in the night sky, we can connect the dots and see a recognizable shape or pattern. These patterns have been named and recognized by different cultures throughout history, and they help us navigate and understand the night sky. The stars in a constellation may not actually be physically close to each other, but they appear close to each other from our perspective on Earth.
