3 What is the Solar System?

4 The Sun and its family of orbiting planets, moons and other objects.

5 What is a Galaxy?

6 A Galaxy is a group of billions of stars held together by their own gravity.

7 ______________ is EVERYTHING! Space and all the matter and energy in it. A.Moon B.Galaxy C.Universe D.Sun/Star

8 C. UNIVERSE

9 ____________ is an object that orbits a more massive object. A.Lander B.Probe C.Constellation D.Satellite

10

11 Explain the difference between a the UNIVERSE and The Solar System.

12 The Solar System is only one of hundreds of billons that make up the Universe. The Universe holds everything. The (our) Solar System only consists of our Sun/Star and its orbiting planets and moons.

13 What is an Eclipse?

14 An event during which one object in Space casts a shadow onto another.

15 What are the names of the 2 basic types of Eclipses?

16 1. Lunar Eclipse 2. Solar Eclipse

17 What are names of the 2 types of shadows during an eclipse? A.Umbra & Penumbra B.Meteoroid & Asteroid C.EM Waves & Light D.Craters & Solstice

18 A. Umbra & Penumbra

19 1.Why was International Space Station built? 2.What do they do in it?

20 It was built so that astronauts can stay do research (things in outer space) for long periods of time. It also reduces the heavy cost ($) of the Space Shuttles launch.

21 ___________ is the name of a craft designed to land on a planet’s surface to transmit data. A.R2D2 B.Lander C.Hubble Telescope D.Jato Rocket

22 B. Lander

23 *DAILY* DOUBLE!

24 Explain the difference between a Lunar and Solar Eclipse?

25 The Lunar Eclipse occurs when the moon moves in the Earth’s shadow. A Solar Eclipse occurs when the moon’s shadow crosses the Earth.

26 How long does it take the Earth to go around the Sun? A.1 Day B.1 Week C.1 Month (28 days) D.1 Year (365.25 days)

27 D. 1 Year (365.25 Days)

28 How long does it take the Moon to go around the Earth? A.1 Day B.1 Week C.1 Month (28 days) D.1 Year (365.25 days)

29 B. 1 month (28 days)

30 What does the angle of the Earth Effect?

31 The Seasons!

32 DOUBLE JEOPARDY!!

33 Explain why the Northern and Southern Hemispheres of the Earth have opposite seasons.

34 The Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun in June and the Southern is farther away in June. The Southern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun in December and Northern is farther away.

35 What is the moon phase called when you can see the entire moon reflecting light back to the Earth?

36 Full Moon

37 What is the moon phase called when you cannot see any light reflecting off the moon from Earth? A.Full Moon B.1 st Quarter C.New Moon D.Waxing Gibbous

38 C. New Moon

39 Where does the light come from that reflects off the moon?

40 The Sun

41 The round pits that are left on the surface of the Moon are called _________. A.Impact Crater B.Asteroid C.Gravity D.Tubes

42 A. Impact Crater

43 Why does the moon appear to change shape from week to week?

44 The moon is lit in different ways. From the Earth’s perspective it appears to look different as it orbits the Earth..

45 How long does it take the Earth to rotate on it’s axis?

46 1 Day (24 Hours)

47 DOUBLE JEOPARDY!!

48 1. Explain in detail why there is darkness and daylight on the Earth. 2. Explain why we have different seasons.

49 1. The Earth rotates fully every 24 hours on it axis causing day and night. 2. The tilt of the Earth’s axis causes the seasonal changes on the Earth.

50 Name two technology spin- offs that we got from NASA.

51 Answers will vary. Fire resistant materials for firemen.

52 What is a constellation? Give one example of one too.

53 A constellation is a group of stars that form a pattern in the sky. Example: Big Dipper, Orion…Answer will vary

54 1. What is a Satellite? 2. Name 2 Examples of a Satellite.

55 A satellite is an object that orbits a more massive object. Ex. The Moon is Earth’s satellite. The Earth is the Sun’s Satellite.
