Questions and Answers

Who are the key scientists involved in the formation of the Geocentric and Heliocentric views of the solar system?

  • Aristotle and Ptolemy
  • Nicolaus Copernicus and Galileo Galilei (correct)
  • Albert Einstein and Edwin Hubble
  • Isaac Newton and Johannes Kepler
  • Describe the three main lifecycles of stars and explain that the determining factor in which cycle a star follows is its mass.

  • Protostar, main sequence, white dwarf; The determining factor in which cycle a star follows is its size.
  • Protostar, main sequence, red giant; The determining factor in which cycle a star follows is its mass. (correct)
  • Protostar, main sequence, red giant; The determining factor in which cycle a star follows is its temperature.
  • Protostar, red giant, supernova; The determining factor in which cycle a star follows is its brightness.
  • Explain how we can determine the distance to stars using parallax, 'standard candles' and red shift.

  • Parallax measures the change in wavelength of light from a star, 'standard candles' use the brightness of certain types of stars as a reference, and red shift measures the apparent shift in a star's position.
  • Parallax measures the apparent shift in a star's position, 'standard candles' use the change in wavelength of light from a star as a reference, and red shift measures the brightness of certain types of stars.

  • Identify the Biosphere, Atmosphere, Hydrosphere, and Geosphere and describe some interactions between them.

    <p>The Biosphere is the layer of Earth where life exists, the Atmosphere is the layer of gases surrounding Earth, the Hydrosphere is the water on Earth's surface, and the Geosphere is the solid part of Earth. Interactions between them include the exchange of gases between the Atmosphere and Biosphere through photosynthesis and respiration.</p> Signup and view all the answers
