Solar System Formation (4.1)

Identify which components (check all that apply) are accurate for the geocentric solar system model (prior 1700s)

• The sun orbits Earth

• The moon orbits Earth

• Planets are closer than stars

• Orbits and epicycles are Circular

• Saturn is farther away from Earth than Jupiter

What is an energy component of the solar system?

• Helium particles

• Emission of light

• Fe particles

• Metallic Hydrogen

The terrestrial planets include(s):

• Mercury

• Jupiter

• Saturn

• Venus

• Mars

When materials decay and remain "1/2" of its original amount over time, and continues this pattern, this is an example of:

• Absolute Age

• Half life

• Decay over time

• Half decay

A half life occurs during:

• Radioactive Decay

• Carbon Decay

• Fusion

• Exothermic

As dust formed rocks combine together to form larger rocks, they start to form:

• Orbits

• Plasmas

• Planetsimals

• Planets

Planetismals are the beginning of:

• Asteroids

• Comets

• Galaxies

• Planets

Craters show that planets are formed from smaller objects in space coming together. This occurs through:

• Accretion

• Fusion

• Collapse

• Massive Bulge

If a ratio for a radioactive decay particle was found to be 1:4, this means :

• It went through 4 half lives

• It multiplied 4 times

• It fused 4 times

• None of the above

Charged particles that are emitted from a star is known as:

• Flattening

• Nebula

• Solar Wind

• Collapse
