Q

How many kilometers are in one light year?

A

9,460,000,000,000 km

This is approximately 9.46 trillion kilometers.

17
Q

What is the distance in kilometers for Proxima Centauri, which is 4.23 light years away?

A

Approximately 4.23 light years = 4.23 x 9.460 x 10^12 km

This calculation gives a very large distance, emphasizing the vastness of space.

18
Q

What is the relationship between astronomical units (AU) and light years?

A

1 light year = 63,240 AU

AU is a standard unit used to measure distances within our solar system.

19
Q

What are the main components of the solar system?

A

Asteroids, comets, planets, dwarf planets, the sun, satellites

These elements interact through gravitational forces.

20
Q

What percentage of the solar system’s mass does the sun constitute?

A

99%

This highlights the sun’s dominance in terms of mass in the solar system.

21
Q

What is the Milky Way Galaxy?

A

A collection of stars that may have planets and satellites, held together by gravity

It is one of billions of galaxies in the universe.

22
Q

Define a galaxy cluster.

A

A collection of galaxies that are bound together by gravity

These clusters can contain hundreds or thousands of galaxies.

23
Q

What is a supercluster?

A

A large group of galaxy clusters held together by gravity

Superclusters are among the largest known structures in the universe.

24
Q

True or False: The gravitational force is responsible for the structure of the solar system.

A

True

Gravity is the fundamental force that governs the motion of celestial bodies.

25
Quelles sont les conditions favorables à la vie?
Les conditions favorables à la vie incluent : * Zone habitable * Présence d'eau liquide * Présence d'une atmosphère * Masse idéale de la planète * Présence d'éléments chimiques essentiels.
26
Qu'est-ce que la zone habitable?
La zone habitable dépend de la distance de l'étoile où la quantité d'énergie n'est ni trop grande, ni trop petite.
27
Pourquoi la présence d'eau liquide est-elle essentielle à la vie?
L'eau liquide entre dans plusieurs réactions chimiques qui sont essentielles à la vie, comme la photosynthèse.
28
Quel rôle joue l'atmosphère dans la vie?
L'atmosphère protège contre : * Rayons UV * Rayons gamma * Débris Elle permet également le cycle de l'eau.
29
Comment la masse d'une planète influence-t-elle la vie?
La masse détermine la gravité : * Une forte masse = forte gravité * Une faible masse = faible gravité.
30
Quelles sont les conséquences d'une absence d'atmosphère?
Une absence d'atmosphère ne permet pas de retenir les gaz, ce qui peut être toxique.
31
Quels éléments chimiques sont essentiels à la vie?
Les éléments chimiques essentiels à la vie sont : * Carbone (C) * Hydrogène (H) * Oxygène (O) * Azote (N) * Phosphore (P) * Soufre (S).
32
Complétez la formule de la photosynthèse : 6H2O + 6CO2 -> _______.
C6H12O6 + 6O2
33
Complétez la formule de la respiration cellulaire : C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> _______.
6H2O + 6CO2 + énergie
