Question

I actually need help with my Astronomy class. Is this an appropriate section to post Astronomy questions?

Answer 1

I suppose so. And what kind of lesson is it? A test? quiz?

Answer 2

A homework quiz. I've already answered all the questions, I just want to confirm that I have the right answers. I will be submitting it in about ten minutes or less, so I might not have enough time to double check them on here...

Answer 3

Ok.

Answer 4

The focus appears to be on Pluto, dwarf planets, and asteroids, although some other questions come up occasionally

Answer 5

kk :p

Answer 6

And what school is this? Grade?

Answer 7

University

Answer 8

Oh. :P

Answer 9

The mass of all the known asteroids combined is approximately equal to: one-third the mass of the Moon. That appeared to be the answer from what I found online, but my textbook says that all asteroids combined would be the same size of the moon, not the mass. Does that seem right? I'm pretty bad with science stuff.

Answer 10

What about you? What level of schooling are you in?

Answer 11

8th.. but I'm advanced in science :P (Good with Astronomy)

Answer 12

Ok, remember that size and mass are different. Nothing else in your book says anything about the mass?

Answer 13

8th grade? (I don't judge by age lol, I know some people learn this stuff before university) And nope, at least not relevant to the question.

Answer 14

(I'm 22 and in eighth grade! I'm kidding. 13. ^.^

Answer 15

And, nothing in a lesson or class?

Answer 16

Cool! I hope it's not creepy talking to a 20 year old :P And these quizzes are basically pre-class quizzes. They prepare us for the lesson in class, so if we don't understand something, we come to class with questions. The problem is, if we get the question wrong, our grade drops... which is silly :P

Answer 17

That is silly! And it's not weird talking to a 20 yr old. I'm used to older people. :P

Answer 18

Anyways... I do have reason to believe you are right :P but let me some more research :3

Answer 19

Okay. I'll go back in my textbook and see if maybe I read it wrong or something.

Answer 20

ok

Answer 21

Yep you are right :D

Answer 23

Alright, thank you! I'm going to submit the quiz now and see what I get... I've been working on it for about 3-4 hours

Answer 24

Lol! It takes me that long on some quizzes :P

Answer 25

Ugh I got a 17 out of 20 -.- I know that sounds good but I'm actually failing this class and I've never gotten a perfect score on a quiz. On the bright side, that was the right answer to that question.

Answer 26

Atleast you got that question right :P

Answer 27

And you got 3 wrong, you drop a score of 3 in your grade?

Answer 28

sorry I couldn't help with the other three :(

Answer 29

Very often the grading system makes a mistake, so hopefully at least one of the questions I got wrong is actually right. "Pluto is composed primarily of rock. Answer: false." Google: Chemical composition: Pluto probably consists of a mixture of 70 percent rock and 30 percent water ice. My textbook also said it's mainly rock. -.-

Answer 30

I think it made a mistake. '-'

Answer 31

Tell your teacher"Look, I have been studying for this quz, and I noticed that I got this question wrong, but in the book it says different. nd my friend Google says its right too. Gimme my point lady! D:<" Lol

Answer 32

I hope so. It drops 3 points from my overall quiz grade, but it's not out of 100. My quiz average is probably around a 50%... so I need lots of 100s XP

Answer 33

Ye, I get ya :P

Answer 34

Don't worry about not being able to help with the other three. You helped and that is what matters ^^

Answer 35

Thanks ^^

Answer 36

Lol it's a class of I think 300 students... so on Monday we'll all yell at him :P

Answer 37

You're welcome. And thank you for helping me ^^

Answer 38

Lol :P
