What are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars? Our Solar System - 200 Points Describe why they are called the terrestrial planets. What is they are small, dense, rocky surfaces? Or What is they all have a crust, mantel and iron core? Our Solar System - 300 Points Name the 4 outer planets. What are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune? Our Solar System - 400 Points Describe the composition of the gas giants. What is primarily hydrogen and helium? Our Solar System - 500 Points Describe the composition of a comet. What is dirt and ice? Properties of Stars- 100 Points Stellar distances are measured in … What are light years? Properties of Stars - 200 Points The HertzsprungRussell Diagram gives surface temperature, color, and… What is absolute brightness? Properties of Stars - 300 Points As the Earth moves the same star can be observed and the distance measured in comparison to distant stars. This is called… What is the parallax? Properties of Stars - 400 Points List these stars in order from coolest to hottest. What is A, B, D, C? Properties of Stars - 500 Points • Which is the brighter star Betelgeuse or a white dwarf… What is Betelgeuse?
