Equation weight
Mass x G.F.S = weight
Equation mass
Weight / G.F.S = Mass
Equation G.F.S
Weight / mass = G.F.S
Name all the planets in order
Mercury, Venus , Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune
Equation for weight
Mass x G.F.S = weight
Equation for mass
weight / G.F.S = mass
Equation for G.F.S
Weight / mass = G.F.S
What causes the seasons ?
The Earth’s tilt is what causes seasons. When a hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun, it has longer days, warmer weather, and summer. When it’s tilted away, it has shorter days, colder weather, and winter.
What causes the day and the night ?
Day and night are caused by the rotation of the Earth on its axis
Name different ways in which scientists can find out about space ?
- Telescopes
- Radio waves
- Astronaut missions
Why’s is the force of gravity greater on other planets ?
Because they have a greater mass
Why does the length of a day vary throughout the year?
Day length changes because the Earth is tilted. In summer, we get more sunlight and longer days. In winter, we get less sunlight and shorter days.
Equation for pressure
Force / area = pressure
Equation for force
Pressure x area = force
Equation for area
Force / pressure = area
