Study Guide: Solar System

  1. How many planets are there in the solar system?
  2. What is the correct order of all the planets in the solar system?
  3. Where can a comet be located in the solar system?
  4. What is located between Mars and Jupiter?
  5. What separates the inner planets from the outer planets?
  6. What is the geocentric model?
  7. What is the heliocentric model?
  8. What model do we believe in now?
  1. Mass and the force of gravity have a direct relationship. What does this mean?
  2. Distance and the force of gravity have an indirect relationship. What does this mean?
  3. The attraction between 2 objects in known as ________________________.
  4. When an object wants to continue in the motion its already traveling in is called_____.
  5. Draw a model of gravity and inertia working together to create an orbit path.
  1. What did the following scientist accomplish for the Solar System? a. Ptolemy b. Copernicus c. Kepler d. Galileo e. Newton
  1. The universe is organized into groups of millions or billions of stars called what?
  2. The Milky Way is what type of galaxy?
  3. The life cycle of a star begins with a cloud of gas and dust called
  4. A star is born when ____________________________________________________.
  5. Explain the difference between meteor, meteoroid and meteorite.
  1. The distance between stars is typically measured in what?
  2. The life time of a star depends on its_________________________________.
  3. The HR diagram is use to classify stars based on these 5 characteristics.
  4. What is the hottest color on the HR diagram? The coolest?
  5. As one goes up the y axis on the HR diagram the brightness _______________________.
  6. List the steps in order of both a high mass and low mass star.
  7. How are galaxies classified?
  8. What are the four types of galaxies?
  9. What tool is used to classify galaxies?
  10. What type of galaxies has the youngest stars in them? Oldest stars?
  • The sun is the center of the Solar System but gravity and inertia work together to create ELLIPTICAL orbit paths.
  1. Mass and the force of gravity have a direct relationship. What does this mean?
  • If mass increases so does the force of gravity
  • If mass decreases so does the force of gravity
  1. Distance and the force of gravity have an indirect relationship. What does this mean?
  • If distance decrease force of gravity increases
  • If distance increases force of gravity decreases
  1. The attraction between 2 objects in known as ________________________.
  • gravity
  1. When an object wants to continue in the motion its already traveling in is called_____.
  • inertia
  1. Draw a model of gravity and inertia working together to create an orbit path. A A= Inertia B= Gravity Sun B C= Elliptical Orbit Planet C
  2. Explain what would happen to the orbit path of earth if the sun did not exist. Why would this happen.
  • Earth would continue in the path of inertia because the gravitational force of the sun would no longer be there. Inertia wants an object to continue in the path it is already taking, a straight line. So Earth would continue in a straight line until it came upon another object that had a greater mass than itself (= greater force) and then it would orbit that object.
  1. Explain the difference between meteor, meteoroid and meteorite.
  • Meteoroids: Is a chunk of rock and dust that is located out in deep space.
  • Meteors: A streak of light caused by the burning up of a meteoroid in the atmosphere.
  • Meteorites: A meteoroid that has passed through the atmosphere and hit Earthโ€™s surface (Right in the Earthโ€™s Surface)
  1. What is one theory that geologist believed that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs.
  • That an asteroid hit the Earthโ€™s surface and between the impact and the aftermath the dinosaurs became extinct.
  1. What is an asteroid made out of?
  • Rock and Metals (Iron)
  1. What is a comet made out of?
  • Dust, Ice and Gas
  1. Draw an orbit path of a comet, planet and an asteroid? Comet: Asteroid: Planet:
  2. What did the following scientist accomplish for the Solar System?
  1. A star is born when ____________________________________________________. a. A protostar reaches 15,000,000โฐC and nuclear fusion starts
  2. Explain the difference between meteor, meteoroid and meteorite. (SAME AS #15 SORRY) Meteoroids: Is a chunk of rock and dust that is located out in deep space. Meteors: A streak of light caused by the burning up of a meteoroid in the atmosphere. Meteorites: A meteoroid that has passed through the atmosphere and hit Earthโ€™s surface (Right in the Earthโ€™s Surface)
