Which is NOT true about nebular theory?
A. The solar nebula formed from the remnants of previous stars.
B. The explosion of a nearby star likely caused the solar nebula to start to contract.
C. The solar system formed from a rotating cloud of dust and gas.
D. As the solar nebula contracted, it began to spin more slowly.
Which of the following is true about the geocentric model?
A. It is the modern model of the solar system.B. The sun is the center of the solar systemC. Object in the sky move around SunD. Earth is stationary at the center
True or False
Because there is no gravity on the moon, any liquid water would have evaporated into space long ago.
True or False
The total lunar eclipse shown in Figure 25-1 is occurring during the new moon phase of the moon.
True or False
Because Earth’s orbit around the sun is an ellipse, and Earth is not always the same distance from the sun, one AU is defined as the average distance from Earth to the sun.
