Question 2
The major difference(s) between the terrestrial and jovian planets involve(s)
a) mass.b) density.c) rotation speed.d) density and rotation speed.e) mass and density.

Question 2
The major difference(s) between the terrestrial and jovian planets involve(s)
a) mass.b) density.c) rotation speed.d) density and rotation speed.e) mass and density.
Jovian planets are more massive, but less dense, than terrestrial
planets.

Question 3
Which of the following defines density?
a) mass times surface gravityb) mass divided by volumec) size divided by weightd) mass times surface areae) weight divided by size
![Page 14: LECTURE 8, SEPTEMBER 21, 2010](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022110103/568143a9550346895db032b8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Question 3
Which of the following defines density?
a) mass times surface gravityb) mass divided by volumec) size divided by weightd) mass times surface areae) weight divided by size
Density can be thought of as
MATTER SPACE
Lots of matter in a small space = HIGH density.
Little matter in a large space = LOW density.

Question 11
Any theory of the origin of the solar system must explain all of these EXCEPT
a) the orbits of the planets are nearly circular, and in the same plane.
b) the direction that planets orbit the Sun is opposite to the Sun’s spin.
c) the terrestrial planets have higher density and lower mass.
d) comets do not necessarily orbit in the plane of the solar system.

b) the direction that planets orbit the Sun is opposite to the Sun’s spin.
c) the terrestrial planets have higher density and lower mass.
d) comets do not necessarily orbit in the plane of the solar system.
The planets do orbit in the same direction that the Sun spins.
Most also spin in that direction, and most also have large moons that orbit in that direction.

Question 12
The condensation sequence theory explains why
a) our planet Earth has water and rain.b) stars are more likely to form large planets
orbiting very near.c) terrestrial planets are different from jovian
planets.d) the Moon formed near the Earth. e) Pluto has such a circular orbit.

Question 12
The condensation sequence theory explains why
a) our planet Earth has water and rain.b) stars are more likely to form large planets
orbiting very near.c) terrestrial planets are different from jovian
planets.d) the Moon formed near to Earth. e) Pluto has such a circular orbit.
The condensation sequence theory explains how the temperature of the early solar nebula controls which materials are solid, and which are
gaseous.
