Nuclear fusion takes place in the
sun’s core.
The Moon for $100
What are the different shapes the moon has in the sky called?
The Moon for $100
Phases
The Moon for $200
Why would the same object weigh more on the Earth

The Moon for $400
About 28 days.
The Moon for $500
Why do we only see one side of
the moon from the Earth?
The Moon for $500
We only see one side of the moon because its revolution and its rotation take exactly the same amount of
time.

Weather for $500
What causes wind to form on the

of the Earth’s surface by the sun.
Water for $100
What is the water cycle?
Water for $100
The change of water from one
state to another as it moves between

water?
Water for $500
Condensation
