Did Gravity pulled together dust and gas to form the planets?
True
True or False: Planet formation required solid “seeds” before gravity could build planets?
True - It's called Planetestimals
True or False: All planets form at exactly the same speed.
False – growth rates vary by environment.
Yes or No: Do black holes form the same way as planets?
No - they form from collapsed stars.
True or False: Gravity works only on Earth.
False - it works everywhere in the universe
What does Einstein's E=mc² stand for?
Einstein's Formula E=mc² is where E=energy and m=mass and c²=the speed of light (or in simple terms speed).
True or False: Removing gravity from a planet would not change its orbital paths.
False - Planets orbital paths are defined by their gravitational strength.
True or False: Only very large objects like planets and stars have gravity.
False. Every object with mass exerts gravitational pull - even small dust particles
Name the 8 planets in our solar system!
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. (Pluto if you believe in that sorta thing)
True or False: There are more trees on Earth than stars in the Milky Way galaxy.
False - The Milky Way has hundreds of billions of stars, more than trees on Earth.
True or False: The Moon has a "dark side" that never faces the Sun.
False - The Moon rotates too, so all sides receive sunlight
True or False: A light-year is a measure of time.
False - It's the distance that light travels in one year which is about 9.46 trillion kilometers
Guess how long is one day on Venus?
1 day on Venus is 243 'Earth' Days. That's longer than it takes Venus to orbit the Sun! (225 'Earth Days')
True or False: You can walk on all the planets in the Milky Way!
False - Jupiter and Saturn are gas giant planets and Uranus and Neptune are the ice giants. All of them do not have solid surfaces.
How many rings does Saturn have?
Over 1,000 rings!!!
True or False: Space junk travels at extremely high speeds - fast enough to damage spacecraft.
True. Even small debris moves fast enough (~28,000 km/h) to pose risks
