space test study

Question 1

Age of the earth

Answer 1

3.5-3.8 billion year old i think

Question 2

how does the distance from the sun affect our atmosphere

Answer 2

Being in the habitable zone allows for the presence of water, possibly in different states (solid, liquid and gas) to cycle throughout an atmosphere.

Question 3

The average temperature on earth

Answer 3

14-degree celcius

Question 4

how the solar system formed

Answer 4

It was a gas cloud that got affected by a large supernova, this jump started our solar system and created our home star the sun, the rest of the gas formed into asteroids which collided into each other to form planets

Question 5

how does the size of the planet affect our atmosphere

Answer 5

Small planets do not have enough gravity to “hold on”to small gaseous elements and compounds.
Large planets like Jupiter & Saturn have immensely thick atmospheres because their gravity can “hold on” even the smallest/lightest elements and compounds.
I FINK MABE WHAAAATT!

Question 6

how does geological activity affect our atmosphere

Answer 6

Processes such as volcanism release the gases that become the components of a planet’s atmosphere.

Question 7

orbital radius

Answer 7

The distance a planet orbits from its star is called an orbital radius.

Question 8

what is Orbital Eccentricity aand why is it important

Answer 8

its the path of our planet in orbit, so like basically we go round and round like the merrygoround and if we go not round and like oval we would die because no habitable zone!! 😭

Question 9

supernova

Answer 9

a supernova is the result of a dying star exploding

Question 10

habitable zone

Answer 10

When a planet is positioned at a distance where liquid water can exist on its surface, it is considered to lay in the habitable zone of that star.

Question 11

space weather

Answer 11

Space weather refers to changes in the space
environment and geomagnetic storms resulting from
eruptions on the Sun. Space weather ultimately affects
human activities and technologies on Earth and in space.

Question 12

Solar Flares

Answer 12

is an intense burst of radiation coming from the
release of magnetic energy.

Question 13

Coronal mass ejection (CME)

Answer 13

is a large explosion that hurls
superheated plasma (electrified gas) into interplanetary space.

Question 14

Coronal holes

Answer 14

release high-speed streams of plasma that boost the solar wind.
