Ch11 Jovian Systems

Question 0

The outer two planets had x time when the solar wind swept away debris so they are
x

Answer 0

Less smaller

Question 1

Is more gas was added to Jupiter, it’s weight would make J larger or smaller

Answer 1

Smaller. It would be compressed.

Question 2

Jovian planets rotate ? Than any of the terrestrial worlds

Answer 2

Faster

Question 3

Rotation rates of jovians vary with ?

Answer 3

Latitude. Equator regions rotate faster than poles.

Question 4

How do we know the interior of Jovian planets

Answer 4

Theoretical modeling and lab experiments

Question 5

3 layers of Jupiter’s atmosphere

Answer 5

Gaseous hydrogen
Liquid hydrogen
Metallic hydrogen
Core. Rocks, metals, hydrogen comp. it is 10x mass but same size as Earth because of density .

Question 6

4 Jovian planets interiors are named the same t/f

Answer 6

T

Question 7

Cores of Neptune and Uranus have only rock and metal t/f

Answer 7

True

Question 8

Jupiter emits 4x the energy than it gets from the sun t/f

Answer 8

False. 2X

Question 9

Continued contraction is source if Jupiter’s heat. T/f

Answer 9

True. Contraction converts gravitTional potential energy to thermal energy.

Question 10

Explain Saturns differentiation

Answer 10

Helium gets to condense from pressure and lower temps. It then drains down as droplets into interior

Question 11

Neptune emits twice as much energy as it gets from sun like Jupitert/f

Answer 11

True. May still be contracting.
