An engineer is designing a new protective gear for astronauts aboard the International Space Station. After building a device, what should the engineer do?

Test the device to see improvements that could be made

Brainstorm how the device will help the crew

Draw a labeled sketch of the device to gather materials

Share the device with the crew to have them use it aboard the ISS

According to the table, which statement is true?

Mercury’s day is longer than Earth’s day.

Mercury and Venus have a longer year than Earth

Jupiter’s day is longer than Earth’s day.

Both Venus and Saturn have longer days than Earth.

No planet has a longer day than Earth.

The planets are labeled correctly in the image; however, it is not an accurate model of our solar system. Why is the image inaccurate?

The planets are all equally spaced.

Some planets are tilted and others are not.

The planets are round instead of oval.

What are the four inner planets of our solar system?

Neptune, Uranus, Earth, Mercury

If Earth began to revolve faster around the sun, then -

the shape of Earth would become more oval

Earth would eventually collide with the sun

Earth’s orbit would expand outward

A student made the models shown using a golf ball, softball, and beach ball. How could this model be improved?

Use a marble to represent the moon

Use a flat object, such as a Frisbee, for Earth

Place Earth between the moon and the sun

Equally space the three balls in a straight line across a hula hoop

Which of the following best describes why the moon orbits Earth?

The gravitational attraction between the moon and Earth

The winds generated on Earth by the energy of the sun

The energy reflected from the surface of Earth

The distance the moon and Earth are from the sun

A student examines a labeled model of the solar system. According to the model shown, the planet that will likely move with the greatest velocity is -

Planet A because it is closest to the sun and experiences the strongest gravitational pull from the sun

Planet B because it is the largest planet and experiences the strongest gravitational pull from the sun

Planet F due to its large set of rings

Planet H because it is furthest away from the sun

What would happen to Earth if the sun’s gravitational force suddenly stopped?

Earth would leave its orbit and travel in a straight line.

Earth’s axis would no longer be tilted.

Earth would revolve faster around the sun.

There would be no change to Earth’s orbit.

In the library, a student found the book shown titled, “The Sun.” What could be the title to Chapter 4?

Power Up: It provides energy to give Earth light and heat

Around We Go: It revolves around Earth in a spherical orbit

Rock ‘n Roll: It is also known as a huge space rock or shooting star

Level Up: It is mainly made of methane giving it its distinct color

What characteristics describe each solar system component?

Venus - Known for its amazing rings

How has technology changed our understanding of the solar system?

A heliocentric (sun-centered) view was accepted.

New technologies supported the Earth-centered view.

A conclusion was made that our solar system was the only one in the galaxy.

New planets are named when they are proven to orbit Earth.

The force of gravity between objects is greatest when -

Masses are large and objects are close together

Masses are small and objects are close together

Masses are small and objects are far apart

Masses are large and objects are far apart

The pattern of day and night is caused by the -

rotation of Earth on its axis in relation to the sun

revolution of Earth around the sun

revolution of the moon around the Earth

rotation of the sun around visible constellations

Which statement is TRUE about the revolution of Earth?

Earth takes 365¼ days to revolve around the sun one time.

Earth revolves around the sun which creates night and day.

Earth completes one full revolution in a 24-hour period.

Earth revolves faster than Mercury around the sun.

Which are factors that cause seasons on Earth?

the position of the moon from Earth

the angle where sunlight strikes Earth’s surface

the gravitational pull of the moon

The phases of the moon are caused by the –

positions of the moon, Earth, and sun

revolution of Earth around the sun

What are characteristics that describe Earth?

Has an atmosphere made of nitrogen and oxygen

Has the highest gravity in our solar system

According to the diagram, the equator is the warmest area on Earth because-

it receives the most direct sunlight

there is more water near the equator

the atmosphere is thinner at the equator

it receives the most indirect sunlight

The moon phases are –

the appearances of the moon from Earth

shadows when the moon blocks the sun’s light

reflections of hot gassy craters on the moon’s surface

four periods of the year caused by revolution and rotation

Which accurately describe Earth’s rotation?

Rotation happens when the Earth spins on its axis.

Earth’s rotation causes day and night.

One complete rotation of Earth takes 365 1/4 days.

Earth’s rotation causes seasons.

Which might cause Earth to stop experiencing seasons?

If Earth’s axis was no longer tilted

If Earth’s rotation increased speed

If Earth’s orbit became smaller

Where must you be in order to see a total solar eclipse?

In the path of the moon’s shadow on Earth’s surface

In the path of the sun’s shadow on Earth’s surface
