At which planet can the pole remain in darkness for 42 years,
then have 42 years of constant daylight? - ✔ ✔ Uranus
Compare the atmospheres of Mars and Venus. - ✔ ✔ Both are
chiefly carbon dioxide, but at Mars it can freeze as dry ice.
Compared with Earth's orbit, the orbit of Jupiter is approximately
- ✔ ✔ 5 times larger.
Consider the orbiting system around Saturn. Within close
proximity to Saturn are rings of material that are composed of
hundreds of thousands of small particles. Outside of the rings is
a multitude of orbiting moons, ranging in size from tens of
kilometers in diameter to thousands of kilometers. Select the
statements that correctly describe what would happen if a large
moon passed inside of the Roche limit and what does happen to
small clumps of material inside Saturn's rings. - ✔ ✔ Material
inside the Roche limit will be restricted by tidal forces from
forming into larger clumps or moons. If a large moon passed
inside of the Roche limit it would be torn apart by Saturn's large
tidal forces.
Craters on Venus - ✔ ✔ Nearly 1000 impact craters on Venus'
surface. Surface not very old. No water on the surface, thick,
dense atmosphere, no erosion, craters appear sharp and fresh
Define Lava Channels - ✔ ✔ Venus are on anaologous to
rillies on the moon
, Define Lava Domes - ✔ ✔ are found both on Venus and Earth,
and are the result of upwelling magme pushing up on the surface
Define Shield Volcanoes - ✔ ✔ are a common volcanic feature
on Venus. The Hawaiian islands are a good example of this
feature on Earth.It sits above a hot spot in the planet's mantle.
Differential rotation is when______ - ✔ ✔ a planet's equator
and polar regions rotate at different rates.
Evidence for a permafrost layer of ice just a few meters below
the surface of Mars include - ✔ ✔ "fluidized ejecta" craters.
Evidence of liquid water in Mars' distant past suggests that it had
a substantial atmosphere compared to what it has presently.
What happened to its water vapor? - ✔ ✔ The atmosphere has
frozen out into the polar ice caps and permafrost as Mars has
cooled.
How does the axial tilt of Mars compare with our own? - ✔ ✔
it is almost identical to the Earth
How does the mass of Jupiter compare with that of the other
planets? - ✔ ✔ It is twice as massive as all other planets
combined.
How long is a day on Mars? - ✔ ✔ 24 hours, 36 minutes
