MILKY WAY
What galaxy is our solar system
in?
1,2
14-15 BILLION YEARS
How old is the universe?
1,3
three
How many Laws of Planetary
motion did Johannes Kepler
have?
1,4
JUPITER
Which planet is the biggest?
2,1
Spiral – spiral shaped, Elliptical – flattened circle,
Irregular – blob-like (no shape)
Name and describe the three
types of galaxies.
2,2
SPIRAL, ELLIPTICAL, IRREGULAR
Name the three
main types of
galaxies.
2,3
EXPANDING
Scientists think that our universe
is ____________ based on
The Red Shift.
2,4
METHANE GAS
Why is Neptune blue?
3,1
RED
Stars are found in galaxies.
What color are stars that are
old and have low temperatures?
3,2
STAR, CONSTELLATION, GALAXY, CLUSTER,
UNIVERSE
Arrange in order, smallest
to largest:
constellation, star,
universe, galaxy, cluster
3,3
Theory that states the universe began with a massive
expansion (NOT explosion).
What is the Big Bang Theory?
3,4
MARS
Which planet has a tall
mountain on it named Olympus
Mons?
4,1
The sun is a medium star so fusion will eventually stop
and it will begin to expand as a red giant. The outside
planetary nebula will drift away and what remains is a
white dwarf that will ultimately die out.
The sun is the only star in our
solar system. How is our lone
star going to die?
4,2
HYDROGEN IS CONVERTED INTO HELIUM IN
THE CORE OF THE STAR
Explain the
chemistry behind
nuclear fusion.
4,3
If the color that stars/galaxies produce shows up in the
red portion of the spectrum, the star/galaxy is moving
away from us because the wavelength is getting longer.
Explain the concept of
RED SHIFT.
4,4
ALL OF THE GAS GIANTS (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus,
Neptune)
Which planet(s)
have/has rings?
Name them
5,1
ANDROMEDA
What is the name of
our nearest neighboring
galaxy?
5,2
A LARGE STAR EXPLODES AS A SUPERNOVA
AND FORMS EITHER A BLACK HOLE OR A
NEUTRON STAR (PULSAR)
When large stars die, what
happens to them? What are
the end results of a supernova
explosion?
5,3
The closer the foci the more circular the orbit. Farther
apart and the orbit is more elliptical.
Kepler used his law of ellipses to
describe the path planets take
around the sun. How do the focal
points tell you the shape of the
orbits?
