space

Question 1

weight

Answer 1

measurement of the effect of gravity on a given mass. with less gravity on the moon, you weigh less. with more gravity on earth, you weigh more.

Question 2

tide

Answer 2

rise and fall of the sea level. Regular cycles of changing sea levels are caused by the gravitational pull of the sun and moon.

Question 3

tidal range

Answer 3

difference in height between high and low tide

Question 4

Bay of Fundy in eastern Canada

Answer 4

The most extreme tidal range in the world. Water is funneled from a wide bay into a narrowing river, causing dramatic sea level changes.

Question 5

How Many high tides and low tides does a planet experience each day?

Answer 5

In one 24 hour period, two high tides and two low tides sweep across the planet

Question 6

what effect does gravity have on ocean tides?

Answer 6

Every object with a mass exerts gravitational pull. The moon has mass, so so it’s gravity pulls on the earth’s oceans.

Question 7

Why does the moon shine?

Answer 7

it reflects sunlight

Question 8

what causes the moon to orbit around the earth?

Answer 8

the gravitational pull of earth on the moon. The changing relative positions of the moon, earth, and sun cause the phases of the moon eclipse and tides

Question 9

the different forms the moon takes in its appearance from earth

Answer 9

phases

Question 10

uses convex lenses to concentrate Light from a distance object

Answer 10

refracting telescopes

Question 11

uses a concave mirror to see distance objects

Answer 11

reflecting telescope

Question 12

telescope that collects radio waves and some microwaves using an antenna that looks like a TC satallite dish. used to detect objects in space, map the universe, and looks foe signs of life on other planets

Answer 12

radio telescope

Question 13

the first optical space reflecting telescope that orbits earth

Answer 13

Hubble SpaceTelescope

Question 14

use light to produce magnified images

Answer 14

optical telescope

Question 15

helped launch objects into space by propelling itself by ejecting exhaust gas from one end.

Answer 15

rocket

Question 16

object that revolves around another object in an orbit,

Answer 16

satellite

Question 17

unscrewed spacecraft sent from earth to explore objects in space

Answer 17

space probes

Question 18

reusable spacecraft that transports people and matrerials to and from space

Answer 18

space shuttle

Question 19

what year did the us and 15 other countries begin construction on the international space station?

Answer 19

1998

Question 20

the day when the Earths rotation axis is the most towards or away from the sun

Answer 20

solstice. summer solstice is in June. winter solstice is in December

Question 21

day when the earths rotation axis is leaning along earth’s orbit.

Answer 21

equinox. Spring equinox is in March. Fall equinox is in September

Question 22

what causes the season’s to change?

Answer 22

the tilt of earth’s rotation axis, combined with earth’s motion around the sun causes the seasons to change.

Question 23

how log does it take earth to follow a path around the sun, making one complete revolution?

Answer 23

365.24 days or one year

Question 24

as earth revolves around the sun, it rotates or spins on its rotational axis, how long is one rotation?

Answer 24

24 hours

Question 25

tide that occurs twice a month and results in the smallest change in sea level

Answer 25

neap tide

Question 26

tide that occurs twice a month and results in the greatest change in sea level

Answer 26

spring tide

Question 27

what happens to tides when the sun, moon, and earth are aligned?

Answer 27

spring tide

Question 28

what happens when the sun and moon are at right angles?

Answer 28

neap tide

Question 29

how many spring tides occur each year?

Answer 29
