YOUR GRADES.
From University of Chicago, he discovered the force now called
dark energy. - correct answer -Michael Turner
Discovered existence of dark matter in the 1970's - correct
answer -Vera Rubin
A galaxy's velocity = (Hubble constant) x (galaxy's distance), or v
= H x d - correct answer -Hubble's Law
Includes the Sun, the planets, and their moons, and all the objects
gravitationally bound to the Sun.
- All of the planets move in orbits in the same direction around the
Sun, and this direction is the same as that of the rotation of the
Sun.
- All the orbits of the planets are in more or less the same plane.

- Virtually all of the mass of the solar system is contained within
the Sun - correct answer -The solar system
Mercury
Venus
Earth (and its moon)
Mars
Formed from materials that remained solid at high temperatures. -
correct answer -Terrestrial Planets
Jupiter
Saturn
Uranus
Neptune
Formed from materials that remained liquid or solid only at the
very cold temperatures distant from the Sun. - correct answer -
Jovian planets

A large cloud of dust and gas in space.
(This is what the solar system formed).
- Under the influence of gravity, the nebula slowly started to rotate
and collapse upon itself, spinning faster and faster.
- The rotation created a flattened disk with a central mass of
matter (Sun).
- Gases and solid matter accumulated at different places in the
disk (planets). - correct answer -Nebula
An event occurring during Earth's formation in which a constant
rain of solid particles rained down on the Earth. - correct answer
-Great bombardment
The early Earth was hot enough to melt nearly completely, and
the heavy materials sank under the force of gravity toward the
center of the planet. This produced a differentiation of the planet
into several layers of material. - correct answer -How Earth
layered
- 3,400 meters thick
