bright streak of light from a
falling space object
C 400

C 500
its high temperature as it
glows in Earth's atmosphere
C 500
Earth’s average distance from
the Sun, which is
approximately 150 million
kilometers (93 million mi)..
D 100
What is an astronomical
unit (A.U.)?
D 100
An oval or flattened circle.
D 200
What is an ellipse?
D 200
Earth or a planet similar to
Earth that has a rocky
surface. The four planets in
the inner solar system,
Mercury, Venus, Earth, and
Mars.
D 300
What are terrestrial planets?
D 300
The processes in which the
motion of hot material under a
crust changes the crust of a
space body.
D 400
What are tectonics?
D 400
The process of molten
material moving from a space
body’s hot interior onto its
surface..
D 500
What is volcanism?
D 500
A large planet that consists
mostly of gases in a dense
form. The four large planets in
the outer solar system
(Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and
Neptune).
E 100
What are gas giants?
E 100
In astronomy, a wide, flat
zone of small particles that
orbit around a planet’s
equator.
E 200
What are rings?
E 200
A body that produces a coma
of gas and dust; a small, icy
body that orbits the Sun.
E 300
What is a comet?
E 300
A brief streak of light
produced by a small particle
entering Earth’s atmosphere
at a high speed.
E 400
What is a meteor?
E 400
A small object from outer
space that passes through
Earth’s atmosphere and
reaches the surface.
E 500
What is a meteorite?
E 500
On Mars as elsewhere,
tectonic processes are
different from weathering and
erosion in
that tectonic processes
involve the crust doing what?
F 100
forming hills and valleys because of
hot underground material
F 100
The presence of craters in
large, smooth plains
tells scientists that, on Mercury,____
F 200
volcanism is no longer occuring
F 200
Why is the atmosphere of a
gas giant deep and dense?
F 300
The planet's huge gravitational force holds
many gases and pulls them together
tightly.
F 300
Venus's atmosphere is the
most dense of all the
terrestrial planets. What effect does this
density of atmosphere have?
F 400
It moves energy around,
which equalizes temperatures.
F 400
Why are comets and asteroids different?
F 500
Comets formed far from the Sun,
so they are composed mostly of ice.
