Question
Late Heavy Bombardment is a period in our Solar system's formation history A. True B. False The Earth is the only terrestrial planet with a moon. A. True B. False Please answer questions 28-31 based on your newly discovered planet around Capella, a star similar to the Sun. This planet is a very slow rotator. It's surface is covered with many craters, there is evidence of erosion, and it has very few smooth regions. This planet most likely has a very strong magnetic field. A. True. B. False This planet is very young. A. True B. False This planet has a molten mantle at the time of your discovery A. True B. False This planet has an atmosphere. A. True B. False Which of the following is not a characteristic of the outer planets? A. They have very few, if any, satellites. B. They are huge and are composed of gases and/or ices. C. They are primarily made of hydrogen and helium. D. Their orbits are separated by relatively large distances. E. They all have rings. The rotation periods of Jupiter and are A. very long, several weeks, because of their great size and mass. B. relatively short, on the order of 10 hours C. long, on the order of several days D. very short, on the order of 1 hour. The Great Red Spot is A. the top of a massive mountain penetrating through Jupiter's clouds. B. a large red crater C. a large, stable, circulating high-pressure system in the atmosphere of D. a large region on Rings of dust and icy particles are found around which planets? A. all planets which have moons associated with them B. only C. all for terrestrial planets D. all four Jupiter has a magnetic field that is A. much stronger than that of Earth and greatly extended. B. very strong and localized close to the planet C. about same strength and extent as that of Earth D. variable, and often nonexistent, sometimes existing only at the near the ring. The reason for the oblate shape of Jupiter and is A. the gravitational pull of the Sun and the other planets in the plane. B. they formed that way in the beginning and have maintained this shape C. its rapid rotation D. is cloud cover, more clouds forming over the equator on average. The planet whose rotation axis is in the orbital plane is A. Jupiter B. C. Uranus D. Neptune What is differential rotation? A. rotation causing storms in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise while storms in the southern hemisphere rotate clockwise B. rotation where a body rotates faster at its equator than it does at its poles. C. rotation of cores of planets rotate at a different rates than its atmosphere D. rotation that changes due to a catastrophic event E. rotation that changes through evolution How was Jupiter's mass determined? How was Jupiter's mass determined? A. All the probes sent by NASA set up weighing scales and sent back data. B. Planet scientists used radar to measure the mass. C. Planet scientists used Kepler's Law to calculate the mass. D. Planet scientists have made an educated guess from the observed radius. E. Jupiter's mass is still unknown.Explanation / Answer
