The day-night temperature difference on Mercury is so extreme because(Select All the answers that are correct)Group of answer choicesthe daylight and darkness both last about 88 Earth days eachMercury orbits close to the SunMercury has the longest solar day among all of the planetsMercury has the longest spin day among all of the planetsits spin is tidally locked to the Sun, so Mercury completes one spin every orbit around the Sun, similar to the Earth-Moon system

The biggest difference in day-time and night-time temperature in mercury is due toGroup of answer choicesno atmosphere.less density.low humidity.less conductivity.

The day-night temperature difference on the Moon is so extreme because(Select All the answers that are correct)Group of answer choicesthere is no atmosphere to insulate the heat from the Sunthe lunar days and lunar nights last about a half a month eachthe Moon’s rotational axis is tilted by 5 degrees to the Earth’s orbit around the Sunthe Moon’s elliptical orbit brings it much closer to and much farther from the Sun

The table below shows how many Earth days it takes Mercury and Venus to complete one orbit and to complete one rotation.Based on the information in the table, which statement is true?Group of answer choicesA day of Mercury is 243 Earth days longA year on Venus is 88 Earth days longA day on Venus is 225 Earth days longA year on Mercury is 88 Earth days long

The Earth keeps on rotating and revoluting around the Sun. There are situations when the day or the night is the longest at certain points. Identify the date on which the southern hemisphere experiences the longest day of the year-

Which of the following is FALSE: a) During autumnal and vernal equinoxes we have 12 hours of daytime and 12 hours of nighttime everywhere on Earth.b) When winter is in the northern hemisphere summer is in the southern hemisphere.c) We have a solar eclipse on Mars when Mars is between the Martian moon and the Sun.d) If Earth had a bigger tilt and everything else remained the same, seasons would be stronger.e) Sunsets are red and the sky is blue because blue light is scattered more by air particles than red light.
