  1. Who Wants to be a Genius? Chapter 12 Test Review The Solar System

  2. Venus and Earth both experience this because of heat trapped by their atmospheres. • Slow rotation • Cloud cover • Cooling effect • Greenhouse effect

  3. These are pieces of rock that strike the surface of a moon or planet. • Meteor showers • Meteorites • Meteors • Meteoroids

  4. This took place in the center of the cloud of dust and gas to create energy that formed the sun. • Solar wind • Evaporation • Gravity • Nuclear fusion

  5. Most asteroids are located in an area between the orbits of these two planets. • Mars and Jupiter • Mercury and Venus • Jupiter and Saturn • Earth and Mars

  6. The Great Red Spot, a continuous storm, is located on this planet. • Uranus • Saturn • Neptune • Jupiter

  7. This is the fourth planet from the Sun. • Jupiter • Mercury • Mars • Venus

  8. The solid, icy part of the comet. • Coma • Tail • Nucleus

  9. Johannes Kepler discovered that the orbits of planets are this shape. • Elliptical • Circular • Parabolic • Spherical

  10. Most of the frozen ice in this part of the comet vaporizes after the comet’s many trips around the Sun. • Heart • Nucleus • Tail • Coma

  11. These are small pieces of rock that enter Earth’s atmosphere and burn up. • Asteroids • Meteors • Meteoroids • Comets

  12. Evidence suggests that these originate in the Oort Cloud located beyond the orbit of Pluto. • Asteroids • Comets • Meteors • Meteoroids

  13. People once believed that all planets and stars orbited around this body. • Earth • Mercury • Mars • Venus

  14. Small pieces of rock moving through space. • Asteroids • Meteoroids • Comets • Meteorites

  15. The eighth planet from the Sun. • Saturn • Pluto • Neptune • Uranus

  16. A comet develops a tail for this reason. • The solar wind • The Oort Cloud • Jupiter’s gravitational pull • Earth’s atmosphere

  17. This is the bright cloud that forms around the solid part of a comet from vaporized gases and released dust. • Nucleus • Coma • Core • Tail

  18. He published the Sun-centered model of the solar system in 1543. • Copernicus • Galileo • Kepler • Columbus

  19. This was left over from the formation of the Sun and formed the planets. • Gas, ice, and dust • Gravel • Asteroids • Solar wind

  20. This causes a comet to develop a coma. • Heat from the Sun • Gravity • The Oort Cloud • Earth’s atmosphere
