- Take this quiz about Astronomy
Then, please comment with the research question you would like to look into. You can look for information here:
- Links on the solar system (like planets, moons, and the Sun)
- Search results for astronomy and telescopes on Yahoo!Kids. Please don’t go to the entertainment links (cartoon shows) until you do some reading about astronomy.
how did the people that made the cameras that go in space how did they make the cameras stay up in space?
These work as questions.–Ms. Mercer
Is there any oxygen in space or there is?And how does it feel to be in space???
The second one is good, the first one is too easy.–Ms. Mercer
Why is Pluto not a planet anymore in the Solar System?
Good question–Ms. Mercer
What keeps the air from going into space .
You mean atmosphere?–Ms. Mercer
why do people make cameras to take pictures of the planets.
Hmm, why do people look at planets you mean? REWRITE PLEASE–Ms. Mercer
What is the cause if the Sun and Venus combined?
I don’t understand this question. How could they combine. Mercury is between them, so what would happen to that planet? Why would they combine? REWRITE PLEASE–Ms. Mercer
In Neptune if you stand on it will you go in like Earth or not like on the moon.
Go in like on the Earth, what do you mean? Do you go in on the earth when you are standing, do you sink in the ground? REWRITE PLEASE–Ms. Mercer
Is Mars very hot or cold.
Too easy, add a question word (maybe why?) REWRITE–Ms. Mercer
How is the sun made?
This works as a question.–Ms. Mercer
Why do Uranus have a rock in there?
I don’t understand this? Uranus doesn’t have a rocky surface. PLEASE REWRITE–Ms. Mercer
How did mars become so little and red?
The little part might be hard to answer. The red part is easy to answer. Can you try something besides how small it it? REWRITE PLEASE–Ms. Mercer
this is my comment what wood happing if we stand on the stars
Okay, that works as a question.–Ms. Mercer
L wonder how do they go to the bathroom in space? I don’t know about extra planets people in the Soler system?
First question is good, but I don’t understand the second. Are you asking if their are people on other planets?–Ms. Mercer
My comment is about earth.Why are all the other planets bigger than Earth . I ask this question because Earth is supposed to be the whole Earth.
Hmm, well there are things that the Earth is part of (like the solar system, the Milky Way Galaxy, etc.). This sounds a little like the argument in Galileo where the church thought the Earth was the center of everything? This might work as a question, but I’m a little concerned about your approach. Also, not all planets are bigger than the Earth. REWRITE THIS–Ms. Mercer
What would happen if an planet would blow up?
I wonder what would cause that?–Ms. Mercer
How is the sun made.
Good question? Is it still being made?–Ms. Mercer
I wonder how people make planets and learn about it to and do they have oxygen in space.
Do people make planets? That question about oxygen in space is a little easy, how about asking about atmosphere using a why question? PLEASE REWRITE–Ms. Mercer
What is the layers from Saturn made from?
Good question Luis!–Ms. Mercer
out of all the eight planets why did we end up on earth
What lets us live on Earth? Why couldn’t we survive on another planet? That is a good question. REWRITE PLEASE–Ms. Mercer
How did earth form and create life because earth is very old.
Excellent question!–Ms. Mercer
This is my comment. Why is Pluto longer planet?
This is a question, not a comment, but it’s a good one. –Ms. Mercer
My common is about the moon. How many moons are in the solar system anyway?
Needs a little more, how about how are they formed? Otherwise your answer is just a number, which is boring.PLEASE REWRITE–Ms. Mercer
This is my question or comment.Who was the first person to study astronomy and planets?
How about who were some early astronomers?–Ms. Mercer
How were planets made? How did Earth get the pretty waterfalls and the beautiful beaches?
Good question.–Ms. Mercer
The planets or bigPLEASE REWRITE/FINISH–Ms. Mercer
this is my comment.I know that Pluto isn’t a planet anymore.
That’s true, but you were supposed to write a question for research on astronomy. PLEASE REWRITE–Ms. Mercer
This is my comment. Why is our galaxy called the Milky Way? Hmm, this could be a little limited unless you write also about why it got the name and what it meant to the people naming it.–Ms. Mercer
How many galexey’s are ther??? You mean how many galaxies? That may not be great to research because you’ll either end up with a number (and your report needs to be more than one sentence), or you won’t be able to answer it. Use “how” with galaxies differently (how made, how they change, etc.) or use “why”. PLEASE REWRITE–Ms. Mercer
My comment is. How were stars formed. This is and should be a question, NOT a comment. It’s a good one to research.–Ms. Mercer
Why is Jupiter the biggest planet?
This is a good question. Ms. Mercer
What happens when there is a solar eclipse.This is a good question.–Ms. Mercer
What is the biggest moon and why is it the biggest moon in the planet.Why do you think that it is the biggest moon in the world.If it the biggest tell me why it is big so I could learn about what the biggest moon so I could learn and be a sience so I will be good at it then get better at thing so my parents will be proud at me so I will get better grade so I could be smarter so I can learn about other thing that I work in school ton get better grade at anything we do here.There is only one moon with our world, so there that is not a good question. The better question is which moon is the biggest in the solar system. I’m glad you want to work hard, but this question is a little too simple to answer. Try, asking about what makes some moons interesting? REWRITE PLEASE–Ms. Mercer
Why does Mars and Neptune have spots in the middle?Do you mean the spot on Jupiter and Neptune? Mars doesn’t have a spot in the middle.–Ms. Mercer
This is my research question.”Can there be alien life on planets like Pluto and Jupiter?” Good question. You might try Mars, and Jupiter instead.–Ms. Mercer
How was the universe created?
Good question.–Ms. Mercer
Why do all the planets is big and some are small? Do the sun had fire? How do people get on the planets and how far is all the planets? How big is the earth? Why Neptune had a lot of blue?How could people get on other planets (no one has gone to another planet yet). I would skip the last question about Neptune, and how big the Earth is. Just answering why planets are different sizes may be enough–Ms. Mercer.
This is my Comment. Why do they have 8 planets? And why make the planets?Asking how the planets were made might work better.–Ms. Mercer
My comment is about Astronomers . Who was the first person to study Astronomy and planets?Was it any type of scientist like Albert Einstein?
This is a great question–Ms. Mercer
why is the earth where it is wright now.
This has potential. Think about how was the Earth formed, or how where it is makes the Earth the way it is? REWRITE PLEASE–Ms. Mercer
This is my question? Are there real aliens in Mars?
That’s not a great question, because the answer is yes, or no. Try could there be live on Mars? REWRITE PLEASE–Ms. Mercer
This is my comment.How many moons are there in the solar system.why is Pluto not a planet no more.besides earth were else can we live i mean a other planet besides earth you know.And our group question is how many moons are there.
Too many questions! Pick one. I would skip how many moons, that will not be very interesting, since the answer is a number. Also the second one will just be a number. Try what are some different moons?–Ms. Mercer
How can planets stay in one place without falling down?
Why do people say that Neptune is like a sister to Uranus?
I wonder why we have only 8 planets & not 9 any more.
could we survive on another planet ????
If Neptune was put into a big pool would it sink or float?
Here are some of my questions.Has anyone ever been on any of the planets before?Can anyone ever go on a planet with the right gear?Have we lost any planets other than Pluto?
Venus and mercury would combine into the Sun because Mercury is between them. So Venus would bump into Mercury causing it to combine with Venus and the Sun.
i wonder if pluto will ever be a planet again.how do you survive in space.
I wonder why Neptune is not the biggest planet?
