The Sun is the largest object in the Solar System. The mass of the Sun is about 98% of the total mass of the Solar System. Structure of the Sun | Figure 9.1 Structure of the Sun showing some phenomena on its surface 1. The core is the innermost layer of the Sun. The temperature of this layer can rise to 15 000 000 ̊C.
Cepheid variable stars have masses much larger than our Sun; the more massive stars are more luminous and have more extended envelopes 10. The stars near the centers of galaxies are orbiting at high velocities, which mean that there is the presence of super-massive black holes in the centers of most galaxies. 11. Large galaxies can absorb smaller galaxies called galactic cannibalism. Chapter 14 1.
Name: Date: Period: 1. are natural or artificial bodies that revolve around more massive bodies such as planets. (Satellites or Comets) 2. Most lunar craters are the result of . (volcanoes or impacts) 3. The time it takes for Earth to around the sun is 1 year.

Sunspots near the Sun's equator rotate at a faster rate than those near the solar poles. The following high resolution image shows a close-up view of a moderately large sunspot. The field of view covers about 60000 km horizontally, and 38000 km vertically. The penumbral diameter of this sunspot is about 16500 km; the Earth, with an equatorial radius of 6378 km, would cover up the umbra but not the penumbra. Sunspots can be quite small ([IMAGE]1500 km diameter), and reach sizes up to 50000 km.
6. What is CMB radiation? Radiation emitted by the Big Bang, which now has caused a much bigger wavelength because of the expansion of the universe. 7. Which theory is supported by the following evidence- h) red shift-both i) the cosmic microwave background radiation-Big Bang.
These are the largest of Jupiters moons. He also saw that Venus has phases such as our moon does. This discovery, that Venus has phases, of Galileo helped proved that Venus orbits the sun. With all the discoveries Galileo was finding, more and more people came to accept the heliocentric model. Many people referred to the change of their view point of the universe as the Copernican
The nebular hypothesis suggest that: a. all bodies in the solar system formed from an enormous gas cloud. b. Earth’s moon is an asteroid captured by the Earth’s gravity. c. galaxies such as the Milky Way form independent of one another. d. the Earth was formed a cosmic explosion, a “big bang”. e. the moon is derived from a protoplanet.
The largest shield volcano in the solar system is Olympus Mons, on the planet mars. Composite volcanoes can be identified by their symmetrical, wide-based shapes that consists of alternating layers of lava and cinder. Unlike any other type of volcano the composite volcano consists of both lava and cinder. The cone of a composite volcano is much steeper than the lava dome of a shield volcano. The cone of the volcano is formed partly by explosive eruptions of cinder.
(2 points) Mars. B) Cosmic Origin of the Element CLUE: The substance collected has properties indicating that it contains a few different elements. The elements in your sample were formed in a supernova and released into space when the star exploded. Small stars and cosmic rays are not hot enough to form them. Look at the chart below to see which elements are typically formed in supernova and which ones are not.
