STUDENT'S NAME:__________________________________________________________

1. The Solar System is a set of eight planets that revolve around the Sun, making it the heart of the Milky Way galaxy,
which means that:

a- The Solar System is a galaxy.

b- The Solar System has 9 stars.

c- The Solar System has a star called Sun.

d- The Sun is a star.

2. There are different ideas that have tried to explain the origin of the universe, are scientific theories, the religious and
the fantastic, the latter of different cultures and their beliefs. Taking into account the above we could say that:

a. there has been no interest in explaining the origin of the universe.

b. only science has talked about the origin of the universe.

c. the human being is interested in explaining the world around him.

d. there is only one accepted theory about the origin of the universe.

3. There are different types of bodies in the universe, some like planets and satellites among others, have no light of
their own and others like stars and galaxies if they have their own light. One conclusion we could draw from the above
is:

a. in the universe there are luminous bodies and non-luminous bodies

b. all the bodies of the universe have their own light

c. all the bodies of the universe are non-luminous bodies

d. in the universe no body has its own light

4. The moon is the satellite of the earth and its light, although it is not itself, illuminates many of our nights. It also has
different phases, such as new moon and full moon, fourth quarter and last quarter, which allow us to see it in various
forms. A different but correct way of saying the above would be:

a. the moon is one of the many satellites that the planet Earth has.

b. the moon is one of the luminous bodies of the universe

c. the so-called third planet or blue planet has only one satellite.

d. the earth is called the fourth planet and has a satellite

5. The theory most accepted by modern scientists says that many millions of years ago there was a huge cloud of
cosmic material called "nebula", in the center of the nebula was concentrated most of the matter mostly gases and
cosmic dust by the attraction of that matter formed the sun; which explains that The planets were formed of:

a. Cold particles of the sun c. Particles from other planets

b. Satellite particles d. Particles of the solar system

6. One year Light is the distance of light traveled in a year at the rate of 300,000 km / sec. A simple calculation makes
us see that one day is equivalent to 86,400 s seconds and even year to 30 million seconds approximately; therefore a
light year is approximately equivalent to

a. 10 million kilometers. c. 300,000 km / sec.

b. 9.8 billion d. 86.400 kilmetros.

7. A part of The energy of the sun reaches the surface of the star it shines and it is the light of the sun; the sun turns into
energy 4 million tons of mass every second which is an insignificant amount for our star, the sun being a sphere emits
its energy in all directions of space. Of the total energy received by the earth more than 99.9% comes from solar
radiation. The sea absorbs much solar energy especially in the regions near the equator; water layers with different
temperatures present displacements of water: from hot to cold and vice versa; this phenomenon originates:

to. Effect of coriolis c. The winds

d. The tides d. The sea currents

8. The moon is the only satellite of the earth, and the only celestial body with the highest albedo, ie the brightest in the
night sky; the force of gravity is 1.66 m / sec, square, that is to say it is less than in the earth that is of 9.8 m / sec.
Square, this explains that:

a. on the moon a body weighs more than on earth

b. A body weighs less on earth than on the moon
c. A body weighs more on earth than on the moon
d. The moon weighs more than all the planets

9. The man in the last decades has made effective the exit to the outer space, thanks to the study of the scientists, has
been able to determine the distance of the stars using:

a. The anemometer c. The microscope

b. The telescope d. The barometer

10. Stars are gaseous and spherical sols, composed mostly of hydrogen in their central regions. Inside, nuclear
reactions occur that generate energy that is emitted into space and revolve around:

a. Comets c. The Galaxy

b. The meteorites d. The Milky Way
