All terrestrials are denser than jovians

Compare Terrestrials densities to Jovian

$400

Slowed down about .0015sec/century

Is the Earth’s rotation slowing down or speeding up

$600

Weak

Awhat kind of magnetic fields do terrrestrial planets

have

$800

Heaavier elements compared to Jovian such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and water

vapor

What are the atmospheres of the terrestrials planets like

$1000Heavier elements, slow rotations, few

moons, smaller

Describe the terrestrial planets as a group

$200

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune

What are the Jovian Planets

$400

Jovian

Which have rings around them, Jovian or Terrestrial?

$600

Made of lighter elements (hydrogen and helium), less dense, rings, lots of moons, larger orbits, faster rotations and bigger.

How are Jovians different from terrestrial?

$800Near circular orbits, close to the same plane, revolve

counter clockwise around the sun and moons revolve counter clockwise.

How are Jovians similar terrestrial planets?

$1000

To determine the mass of a planet using Newton’s laws of gravity, the planet must have

A MOON

$200

sun

Which body has the greatest gravitational pull on the Earth?

$400

Beyond Neptune

Where in the solar system does the Kuiper belt lie?

$600

In the Asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars

Most asteroid are found

$800

The difference between a meteoroid and an asteroid is

the object’s

SIZE

$1000

CERES

The largest asteroid and and probably the only one to be a

spherical “world” is

$200

Plutoids ,icy comet-like bodies

The kuiper belt is an outer asteroid belt consisting of what types o solar stem objects?

$400

In the Kuiper belt

Where does Pluto live?

$600

Irregular

Which object made scientists rethink Pluto as a planet?

$800

Dr. Brown or Neil De grasse Tyson

Name one scientist who was to blame for the demotion of

Pluto

$1000

It has not cleared it’s path

What was the reason for Pluto being “Plutoed”

$200

Nebular

What is the theory that is currently used to describe the

formation of the Solar system?

$400

What is the term used when dust and particles accumulate

to grow into an object?

Accretion

$600

The early solar nebula flattened into a disk

Why do the orbits all lie in the same plane?

$800

Shock wave

What might have made the original solar nebula contract?

$1000

What is the role of dust in the condensation theory?

Dust provides the condensation nuclei around which accretion occurs.
