Submit
3. Which planet is closest to the Sun?

Explanation

Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, orbiting at an average distance of about 58 million kilometers. Its proximity to the Sun means it experiences extreme temperatures, with scorching days and freezing nights.

4. Which planet has the most extensive ring system?

Explanation

Saturn is famous for its spectacular ring system, which is the most extensive and complex in the solar system. The rings are made up of ice and rock particles ranging in size from tiny grains to large boulders.

5. Which planet is known for its Great Red Spot?

Explanation

The Great Red Spot on Jupiter is a massive storm that has been raging for at least 350 years. It is so large that it could fit several Earths within its boundaries, and it is one of the most recognizable features in our solar system.

Submit
6. Which planet is known as the Earth's twin because of its similar size and composition?

Explanation

Venus is often referred to as Earth's twin because it is similar in size, mass, and composition. However, the conditions on Venus are vastly different, with a thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide and surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead.

Submit
7. Which planet has the tallest volcano in the solar system, named Olympus Mons?

Explanation

Olympus Mons on Mars is the tallest volcano in the solar system, standing at about 22 kilometers high. It is nearly three times the height of Mount Everest and covers an area roughly the size of Arizona.

Submit
8. Which planet's rotation axis is tilted by about 98 degrees, causing it to rotate on its side?

Explanation

Uranus has a unique tilt of about 98 degrees, meaning it essentially rolls around the Sun on its side. This extreme tilt gives Uranus very unusual seasons and contributes to its distinct appearance in the sky.

Submit
9. Which planet is known for its extensive system of moons, including Titan, the second-largest moon?

Explanation

Saturn has a large number of moons, with Titan being the most notable. Titan is the second-largest moon in the solar system and is larger than the planet Mercury. It has a thick atmosphere and even liquid lakes of methane on its surface.

  1. The  discovery  that  there  are  many  more  stars  means  that  our universe  is  a  much  brighter and more crowded

Explanation

The discovery that there are many more stars implies that there is a larger number of celestial bodies in our universe, making it brighter and more crowded. This suggests that there is a higher probability of finding other planetary systems and potentially habitable planets. Additionally, it highlights the vastness and complexity of the universe, further expanding our understanding of the cosmos.

It suggests that astronomers may have considered the possibility that some galaxies could have similar compositions to our own galaxy.

Submit
15. Which planet has the shortest day of all the planets in the solar system?

Explanation

Jupiter has the shortest day in the solar system, with a rotation period of just about 10 hours. Despite its size, Jupiter spins rapidly on its axis, leading to this short day length.
