Page # 320 Section review 15.1: Questions 1,3,4,6 to 11 1. Planets shine by reflected sunlight. 3. AU is distance rom earth to sun 4. Distance , mass 6. Satellite orbiting Earth is affected by Earth’s gravity and Interia 7. Pluto 8. A. Largest: Jupiter; Smallest: Mercury B. Strongest: Jupiter; Weakest: Pluto C. Longest: Venus; Shortest: Jupiter D. Longest: Pluto; Shortest: Mercury E. Most: Earth; Least: Saturn 9. Comets revolves around the sun highly elliptical orbits that takes longer to orbit sun. Earth does not always pass by the comet at the same time each year. 10. Meteor is chunk of burning rock broken off from comet or asteroid traveling through Earth’s atmosphere. Meteorite passes through atmosphere and strikes ground. 11. Asteroid belt is rocky bodies orbiting sun and are located between Mars and Jupiter. Page# 329 Section 15.2: question: 1 to4 ; 6 to 13 1. Mercury 2. Venus 3. A. Earth’s moon 4. Venus 6.Earth’s 23 degree tilt of axis relative to its rotation 7. Arial photos show erosion and patterns of riverbeds show water flowed once on Mars surface. 8. Liquid water 9. Saturn rings: Billions of particles of rocks and ice 10. No, Neptune, Jupiter, Uranus also have rings 11. Solar system formed from same cloud of interstellar material. Smaller planets could not hold on their light gases (H, He) and their exposed core became rocky. 12. Pluto has strongly elliptical orbit so sometimes it passes inside Neptune’s orbit 13. Pluto, Uranus, Venus rotate backward (retrograde) Page# 343 Section review 16.1; Questions 5 to 9,12,14 4.Color, temperature, size, brightness (Luminosity) 5. Sun is medium (average) size star 6. Distance light travels in one year 7. 77 years ago 8. Color gives energy and temperature of the star Red: Cooler and low in energy Blue: Hotter and high in energy 9. Brightness decreases by the inverse square of distance away from the source. 12. Main sequence: Stable part of star life cycle; Diagonally across White dwarf: Cool/dim; lower left corner Red giant: cool/bright; upper left corner Super giant: can be blue or red; upper portion 14. D. White Dwarf Page# 349 Section 16.2 Questions: 1 to 10 1. about 5 billion years 2. Nebula 3. Gravitational force 4. Pressure and temperature increases 5. About 10 billion years 6. Higher mass stars burn brighter and hotter Use up hydrogen fuel faster 7. Gravity causes core to contract; Temperature rises; other nuclear fusion occur; outer layer expands and red giant formed 8. Carbon and Oxygen were created by nuclear fusion. 9. Massive explosion of very large star 10. No, sun does not have enough mass to become supernova.
