5 Things We Still Don't Know About the Solar System

The video explores the mysteries of the solar system, focusing on the sun's magnetic field, Venus's climate, Uranus's storms, and the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud. It highlights what we know and the many questions that remain unanswered, emphasizing the need for further exploration and study.

What is the primary reason scientists are interested in understanding the sun's magnetic field?

• To predict solar eclipses

• To understand solar flares and radiation

• To measure the sun's temperature

• To calculate the sun's age

Why is Venus often referred to as Earth's 'evil twin'?

• It has more moons than Earth

• It has a similar size but extreme conditions

• It is closer to the sun than Earth

• It has a faster rotation than Earth

What is the main component of Venus's atmosphere that contributes to its greenhouse effect?

• Carbon Dioxide

• Nitrogen

• Methane

• Oxygen

What was surprising about the storms discovered on Uranus in 2014?

• They occurred only at the poles

• They were methane storms not driven by the sun

• They were larger than storms on Jupiter

• They were driven by the sun's energy

What is one hypothesis for the sudden end of the Kuiper Belt at the Kuiper cliff?

• The belt continues with smaller objects

• The belt is made of gas

• The belt is pulled by a known planet

• The belt is made of ice

What is the Oort Cloud hypothesized to be?

• A cluster of gas giants

• A flat disk of rocky planets

• A spherical shell of icy objects

• A ring of asteroids

Why is it difficult to observe the Oort Cloud directly?

• It is made of invisible gas

• It is too close to the sun

• It is hidden by other planets

• It is too far and dim
