What does the Greek word Planet mean?a) Red starb) Wandering starc) Distant place

They can travel to planets and detect radiation that is blocked by Earths atmosphere.

What were the conditions like just after the beginning of the Big Bang?DAILY DOUBLE!

It catches the signal and bounces it towards the antenna in the middle.

The Polish astronomer Copernicus suggested the Sun was the center. What is this model called?

The observatory below has several advantages to help it observe space. Name 2 of them.Why is this dish shape important?

7Three stars were analyzed and found to contain hydrogen. Their spectral analysis lines are pictured below. Why are they different?

HydrogenWhat is Inertia?Brahe gathered information on the movement of the planets, revealing what about their motion?What is a Theory? Give an example of a theory (such as one in geology or biology).

The first line shows that the star is blue shifted (moving towards us).The third line shows a star that is red shifted (moving away from us).

How did matter form 300,000 years after the Big Bang? How did stars and planets begin to form?What prevents our planet from being pulled to a fiery doom? Explain.What does this animation represent?

What does this animation represent?

The force of gravity depends on the masses of the objects and their distance from one another.

Inertia is an objects tendency to remain in motion or at rest unless acted on by an outside force.

That Earth is the center of our solar system.

The Heliocentric model.

That they travel in an ellipse a rounded, oval-like shape.

b) Wandering starc) Distant placea) Red starWhat does the Greek word Planet mean?

There is less atmosphere to block radiation; less light pollution; no clouds or precipitation.

A theory is a well tested scientific concept that explains a wide range of observations. Examples include the theory of Plate Tectonics or Cell Theory.

The expansion of the universe. Like a balloon inflating or a cookie being baked objects in the universe are getting further apart.Back to MenuFinal Jeopardy
