Who Wants to be a Genius? Chapter 12 Test Review The Solar System
Venus and Earth both experience this because of heat trapped by their atmospheres. • Slow rotation • Cloud cover • Cooling effect • Greenhouse effect
These are pieces of rock that strike the surface of a moon or planet. • Meteor showers • Meteorites • Meteors • Meteoroids
This took place in the center of the cloud of dust and gas to create energy that formed the sun. • Solar wind • Evaporation • Gravity • Nuclear fusion
Most asteroids are located in an area between the orbits of these two planets. • Mars and Jupiter • Mercury and Venus • Jupiter and Saturn • Earth and Mars
The Great Red Spot, a continuous storm, is located on this planet. • Uranus • Saturn • Neptune • Jupiter
This is the fourth planet from the Sun. • Jupiter • Mercury • Mars • Venus
The solid, icy part of the comet. • Coma • Tail • Nucleus
Johannes Kepler discovered that the orbits of planets are this shape. • Elliptical • Circular • Parabolic • Spherical
Most of the frozen ice in this part of the comet vaporizes after the comet’s many trips around the Sun. • Heart • Nucleus • Tail • Coma
These are small pieces of rock that enter Earth’s atmosphere and burn up. • Asteroids • Meteors • Meteoroids • Comets
Evidence suggests that these originate in the Oort Cloud located beyond the orbit of Pluto. • Asteroids • Comets • Meteors • Meteoroids
People once believed that all planets and stars orbited around this body. • Earth • Mercury • Mars • Venus
Small pieces of rock moving through space. • Asteroids • Meteoroids • Comets • Meteorites
The eighth planet from the Sun. • Saturn • Pluto • Neptune • Uranus
A comet develops a tail for this reason. • The solar wind • The Oort Cloud • Jupiter’s gravitational pull • Earth’s atmosphere
This is the bright cloud that forms around the solid part of a comet from vaporized gases and released dust. • Nucleus • Coma • Core • Tail
He published the Sun-centered model of the solar system in 1543. • Copernicus • Galileo • Kepler • Columbus
This was left over from the formation of the Sun and formed the planets. • Gas, ice, and dust • Gravel • Asteroids • Solar wind
This causes a comet to develop a coma. • Heat from the Sun • Gravity • The Oort Cloud • Earth’s atmosphere
