1. Gabriel used an old basketball to model the sun. He altered the ball's surface to show the sun's surface features. First, he painted the surface orange. Then he used a dark brown marker to draw groups of (small ovals on the surface, and he filled the ovals in) Which of the following did these ovals most likely represent? a. Prominences X b. Solar flares X c. Solar wind X dsunspots 2. Scientists have changed the model of the solar system over time as technology allowed for new discoveries) In the geocentric model, which motion would occur? a. The Sun would revolve around the Earth. b. The Earth would rotate on its axis. c. The Earth would revolve around the Sun. d. The Moon would revolve around the Sun. 36 days 25 days 36 days 3. The figure below shows the rotation of the sun. How is the rotation of the sun different from the rotation of the Earth? a. The parts of the sun rotate at different speeds and the parts of Earth rotate at the same speed. X b.) The Sun's equator rotates faster than its poles nd the Earth's equator rotates slower than its poles c. The Sun's poles rotate faster than its equator and the Earth's poles rotate slower than its equator X d. The parts of the Sun rotate in different directions and the parts of earth rotate in the same direction X 4. In convection, hot gases rise through cooler gases as they travel to the top of the convective zone. Once they reach the top of the convective zone, they cool. What happens to these gases next? a. They sink back down b. They give off energy in solar flares c. They begin the process of nuclear fusion 5. The diagram below shows a phenomenon that happens on the surface of the Sun. Near Solar Max - March 2001 Near Solar Min - January 2005 Which of the following explains the appearance of dark marks on the sun in March 2001? (a.) The marks on the Sun are sunspots b. The marks on the Sun are prominences X c. The marks on the Sun are solar flares. X
