layer.

direction.

in a circles similar to air with different densities.

4. These 4 planets (in order from closest to the sun) are __G__, __Q__,
__S__, and __M__.
5. The __R__ is a system of objects of, or around, the Sun.
6. _E____ used a telescope to observe the planets and saw the moons
revolving around Jupiter. He proved Copernicus’ theory that the planets,
including Earth, revolved around the sun.
7. __N___ used to be considered a planet, but is now considered a dwarf
planet.
8. A __P__ is an object in space that circles around another object. The
planets and moons are examples of this.
9. A __L__ is a satellite that orbits around a planet.
10. When objects in space collide, the impact forms a __C_, or a hole.
11. An ___A__ is an rock that revolves around the sun.
12. A _B___ is a mixture of frozen gases, ice, dust, and rock that moves in an
irregular circle around the sun. The coma is a glowing ball of gases and
dust that forms around it.
13. ___K___ are small objects in space. If they cross path with Earth and enter
Earth’s atmosphere they are called __J__.
14.What planet is closest to the sun?

__C__ is a force of attraction between any two objects.
__L__ is the product of mass and gravity.
__A__ impacts the strength of gravity.
__J__ is a path one object takes around another object.
__E__ is the tendency of a moving object to keep moving in a straight line.
__B__ describes the shape of the near circular orbit of the Earth and other
planets around the sun.
7. __K__ are the rippling effect on the surface of the oceans caused by the
gravitational pull of the sun and the moon.
8. __D__ tides occur when the moon is on the opposite side of the planet from
where the tides are occurring. The moon’s gravity is weaker, enabling the water
to get closer to the land.
9. __F__ tides occur when the moon is above the area. The moons gravity causes
the water to go away from the land.
10. __G_ tides occur during the first and third quarter moon. The moon and the
Sun pull in different direction, canceling each other out. The waves are more
moderate during this time.
11.__H__ tides occur during full and new moons. The sun and the moon line up
and pull in the same direction. This causes higher high tides and lower low
tides.
12.Which of the following best describes the effect of the Sun’s gravity on the
planets?
a. Each planet is drawn towards the sun.
b. Each planet is drawn away from the sun.
c. Each planet is drawn closer to each other.
d. Each planet is drawn away from each other.
13. What happens to the force of gravity when the distance between two object
decreases?
a. No attraction
b. Stays the same
c. Decreases
d. Increases
14. If the sun increased in size, what would happen to the planets?
a. They would be released from their orbits.
b. They will move farther away from the sun.
c. They will reverse their orbits.
d. They will be drawn closer to the sun.
15. Jupiter has greater gravity than Earth. Would your mass be:
a. Greater on Jupiter than Earth
b. Greater on Earth than Jupiter
c. Less on Earth than Jupiter
d. Less on Jupiter than Earth

17. Spring tides occur during the first and third quarter moon. The moon and the Sun pull in
different direction, canceling each other out. The waves are more moderate during this
time
True
False
