Herschel
Who discovered the green disk that became known as
Uranus?
$400
Uranus
Which planet has the largest axial tilt?
$600
Causes extreme seasonal effects
Uranus axis does what to the seasons on Uranus?
$800
They contain methane, which absorbs red
Why are Neptune and Uranus bluish?
$1000The great dark spot
In 1989, Neptune had a great storm called
$200
The moons of the jovian planets
Pluto’s density is most similar to
$400
It is inclined more than the eight planets of the Solar System
What is special about Pluto’s orbit?
$600
Pluto and Charon
What is the closest thing to a binary planet in our solar
system
$800
It is call a Kuiper belt object, a Dwarf planet and a Plutoid
What is Pluto considered and where in the Solar system does it reside?
$1000It has not cleared its orbital path
Why is Pluto not a planet?
$200
An impact crater makes it look like the Death star.
What is special about Mimas features
$400
It has an atmosphere
What is the importance of Titan?
$600
Triton
Besides Titan which other moon has Nitrogen is its
atmosphere
$800
It will form part of the rings of Neptune
What is the future of Triton, a moon of Neptune?
$1000
Miranda
Which moon of Uranus has varying terrains, which might mean something catastrophic
happened?
$200
sun
In terms of composition the Jovians are more like the ____________ than the
terrestrial planets
$400
Kuiper Belt
A collection of icy objects that lie outside Neptune is the
$600
Oort Cloud
The most distant objects in our solar system are in the
$800Mars
Most orbits of Asteroids are beyond
$1000
Ammonia decrease and methane increases
Which atmospheric component decreases and
which increase as you go out from the sun in the jovian
planets
$200
Oxidized iron
Why is Mars red?
$400
How many moons does Mars have?
2
$600
Mercury, Mars, Venus
What is the size in order from smallest to largest of the
terrestrial planets (excluding Earth)
$800
Figure out rotational rates
Studying the magnetospheres of the jovians allows us to
$1000
The Roche limit
$200
Asteroids are mostly made of
rock
