The painting above was created in 1944 by artist chesley bonestell
(u.s.a., 1888 - 1986), and is meant to portray saturn's largest moon,
titan. What have learned about titan since then, that renders this
artist's depiction somewhat out-of-date?
A: Titan is a hot, volcanic moon — covered with lakes of continuously
molten rock.
B: Titan sits inside the rings of saturn, so the view of them would
stretch all the way across its sky.
C: Titan actually orbits the planet jupiter, not saturn.
D: Titan is surrounded by a thick, orange, smoggy atmosphere, making
it hard to see saturn or stars from its surface.
E: Titan is a gas giant, and has no solid surface at all.
The position the bird was placed in this image was guided by:
A: Rhythm
B: The need for balance
C: Framing
D: Symmetry
,E: The law of thirds
The rotation axis of the earth is ...
A: Tilted so that it is always pointed directly at the sun
B: Is sometimes parallel and sometimes perpendicular to the axis of
the earth's orbit around the sun.
C: Tilted at about 23 degrees relative to the axis of the earth's orbit
around the sun.
D: Perpendicular to the axis of the earth's orbit around the sun.
The spectrum of an oxygen lamp looks different than the spectrum of a
sodium lamp because:
A: Different atoms are different colors
B: Each atom has a unique set of proton orbits
C: Each atom has a unique set of electron orbits
D: Each atom has a unique set of neutron orbits
E: Oxygen photons have more mass than sodium photons
There are a total of 88 constellations. Roughly how many of these can
be seen at any given time from a single location on a clear night?
A: 44
B: 22
C: 80-85
D: 11
E: 66
, Two planets have the same radius. If planet a is 5 times more massive
than planet b, how does gravity differ on the surfaces of the two
planets?
A: Gravity is 5 times stronger on planet b
B: Gravity is 5 times stronger on planet a
C: Gravity is 25 times stronger on planet a
D: Gravity is 25 times stronger on planet b
E: Gravity is equal on planet a and planet b
Volcanos on venus :
A: Produce very laree lava flows that cover at least 85% of the
Planet's surface.
B: Were never important in the planet's geological history.
C: Are not common, with only two apparent on its whole surface.
D: Are much less active than volcanos on earth and mars.
We saw that kepler's 3rd law states that p^2/a^3 = constant. What
does p represent in this equation?
A: Orbital period, in this case how long it takes for a satellite to
Orbit jupiter
B: Semimajor axis, in this case half the longest axis crossing the
Ellipse on which a satellite orbits jupiter
C: Pulsing timescale, in this case the length of time the satellite
