I need help with a few definitons. Thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is the first one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

All of the planets in the solar system have (blank) with the expectation of Mercury and Venus.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answer is moons because Mercury and Venus are too small of a planet to have the gravitational strength to have a moon orbiting it. A small asteroid type rock would be possible but that is not considered a moon. All of the other planets do have moons orbiting them in our solar system.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you help me on somemore please? I don't know any of these:(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure, post them up and i'll answer the ones you need :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you! You're a lot of help!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because there is no (blank) on the moon, any liquid water would have evaporated into space long ago.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

An atmosphere because if Earth did not have an atmosphere, the sun's ultraviolet rays would easily evaporate all of the water on Earth.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do you know all of this? Do you study science??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The length of a planet's day is determined by its (blank).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, i'm going to grade 12 so all of this stuff is basic stuff for me :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol, can I know what grade you? These questions should be really easy :3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm only in 9th:( I hate school. I'm so terrible at it. When I graduate I'm not even going to go to regular college. I'm just going to hair school and then I'm OUT.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh haha, well that explains it. Anyways, don't worry about school, just follow your dreams and compassion of what you want to do in the future! The answer is rotation or orbit of the planet because think about it, the only reason we have a 24 hour type time is because it takes 24 hours for the Earth to rotate 360 degrees to restart it's day depending upon the Sun.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I put axis :0 I would have failed without you:/ here's my next question. The large, irregular objects mostly located between Mars and Jupiter are (blank)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, the only object there is in space between Mars and Jupiter are asteroids and since asteroids are large and irregular objects, that's the answer :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Icy objects that mostly travel in long, elliptical orbits around the sun are (blank).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I thought this one was comet.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, it would be comet, good job :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OMG YAY<3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The (blank) belt contains perhaps tens of thousands of objects orbiting within about 100 AU of the sun.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hmmm yeah this would be a question from grade 9, i'm pretty sure it would be the Kuiper belt which is similar to the asteroid belt but a lot more bigger. And it is around 50 to 100 AU from the sun so yeah.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I've never even heard of that belt D; The material that formed the solar system originated from a solar (blank).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I guess you learned only about the asteroid belt, I think you would either learn about the Kuiper belt in grade 9 or 10. Anyways, the answer would be a nebula because a nebula's basically a interstellar cloud of like hydrogen, helium, dust and other gases. And after a long time, all of these materials clumped together to produce our solar system due to the gravitational pulls upon the clumped up gases and dust.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nuclear fusion within the sun takes place within the (BLANK).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm sure you know this answer, think about it! Where would be the only place that nuclear fusion is, or in other words, where on the sun is the hottest place?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the middle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah! Or in other words, the core.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright, for the next questions you have, post them up and tell me what you think the answer is and i'll tell you if it's right or wrong. This will help you a lot in learning all of this.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay now this one is really hard for me. I had no idea what it was asking me. In an H-R diagram, most stars are found in a diagonal band from the upper left, to the lower right , which is called the (BLANK)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I thought the answer to this one was diagonal... Cause I can't think of anything else

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So this question shouldn't be given unless your teacher taught you this since this is a grade 10 question because I learned this last year. The H-R diagram is a Hertzsprung–Russell diagram which is basically a scatter graph of stars showing the relationships between the star's luminosites (brightness in other words) versus their temperature. The only way you would know the answer to this question is if you learned about the H-R diagram and what it is. Anyways, the answer is the main sequence.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wow! Yeah cause I don't remember learning this at all.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Describe a technology used in space exploration.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There are TONS of technology used in space exploration, I guess you can use the land rover that was used on Mars.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hold on real quickl(:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I need your help! @DaebakJoo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What formed the moon's maria?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh and can you explain to me what a maria is..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Uhh, i'm not really sure about this one since I never really learned about it o.o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know this either O.O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How about this one? What is the current hypothesis on how Earth's mooned was formed?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Uhmm The current hypothesis is basically an impact by a Mars-sized object like a large asteroid hit the Earth which ejected tons of material like dust and debris which then collected to form the moon.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What two factors cause a nebula turn into a star?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to develop into a star.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In order for a star to form, it must have dust and all of the debris from the nebula clump up to create a center of gravity. As more and more clumps of dust and gasses clump up together, the gravitational strength increases exponentially. Also, the pressure within the center of it is what creates a star.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you're so smart!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay I really need help on this! I'm gonna have to draw a picture!1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here's the question to the picture. In the figure below, which components of the solar system are indicated by orbits 1-9? Name each component in order from the sun and classify each.
