The surprising secret behind Earth’s strange companion

What is unique about the orbit of quasi-satellites?

• They orbit the Earth directly.

• They orbit the sun in the opposite direction of Earth.

• They orbit the sun in sync with Earth.

• They have no gravitational influence from Earth.

Which quasi-satellite is known for having a similar color signature to lunar rocks?

• Asteroid 2016 HO3

• Asteroid 2020 CD3

• 469219 Kamo'oalewa

• 469219 Apophis

What evidence suggests that Kamo'oalewa might be linked to the moon?

• Its size is identical to lunar craters.

• It has a similar color signature to lunar rocks.

• It orbits the Earth directly.

• It was discovered on the moon's surface.

What is the proposed origin of Kamo'oalewa according to researchers?

• It was created from the debris of a comet.

• It was captured by Earth's gravity from another solar system.

• It was ejected from the moon after a collision with a larger asteroid.

• It formed from volcanic activity on Earth.

How might Kamo'oalewa have been separated from the moon?

• Due to gravitational pull from Mars.

• Through volcanic eruptions on the moon.

• By a collision with a larger asteroid.

• By human intervention during lunar missions.
