What are Physics and Chemistry?

This planet is closest to the Sun in our solar system.

What is Mercury?

These are so dense and create such intense gravity that light

cannot escape.

What are black holes?

This is the only planet that spins on its side (like a barrel).

What is Uranus?

This is the only planet that spins clockwise on its axis

(also called retrograde motion)

What is Venus?

If our Sun was replaced with this star, its diameter would

extend past the orbit of Jupiter.

Final Jeopardy

This phenomenon is caused by collisions between the particles in our atmosphere and electrically charged particles from the Sun

when they enter the Earth’s surface. The answer must be

given as a scientific name, or the points will not be awarded.
