Space Quiz!

[Adsolution]

Maybe it should be 'which planet has the most discovered moons?'

[Haruka]

I am also not sure but I would say the same thing as Tobbe.

[Ray502]

Once again, we don't really know how many moons the gas giants have. But I'm gonna guess it's Jupiter, since it's the most massive and therefore has the strongest gravitational pull.

Yes.

Q9. What happens when something is too close to a black hole?

[Rulez]

It gets fucking sucked in?

[Xenon]

It gets fucking sucked in?

I was gonna guess that!

[Adsolution]

I thought that the superstar gets sucked into the supermassive black hooole.

I ACTUALLY thought that the black hole gives the object a pretty makeover.

[spiraldoor]

It gets compressed into a gravitational singularity.

[Shrooblord]

It gets compressed into a gravitational singularity.

Damn! Too slow!

But, to be more correct, as far as we know, nothing happens. For it, it gets spaghettified in an instance, but from our perspective, it is so close to the singularity (the Black Hole), time has slowed down so much that it has even come to a full stop. So, for us, nothing happens at all. It just stays there. For it, it's bye-bye time as it gets crushed in and becomes part of the Black Hole singularity.

It gets fucking sucked in?

Yes, and you can't escape it.

Q10. Name 4 or 5 details about the Sun.

[Shrooblord]

It gets fucking sucked in?

Yes, and you can't escape it.

I don't think 'sucked in' is in any way appropriate. Spiral should get the point.

1. It's a star.
2. Therefore, it 'lives' by fusing hydrogen at its core, thus creating the pressure necessary to sustain its own mass.
3. Two useful byproducts (for us) of this process are heat and light.
4. The type of star that the Sun is one of is described as being a 'yellow dwarf star'.
5. The sun makes up more than 99% of all the mass in our Solar System.

[Xenon]

Yeah R502, you should've given the point to Shrooblord, or at least spiraldoor, for being a little less crude if nothing else.

As for this question:

1. It's yellow
2. It's bright
3. It's big
4. It's hot
5. It's far away

Is that good enough?

[Adsolution]

Le Sol is hot, yellow, getting bigger, billions of years old, and giving us light.

[Shrooblord]

1. It's yellow
2. It's bright
3. It's big
4. It's hot
5. It's far away

Is that good enough?

xD
I was tempted to post a similar response...

Five more details about our Sun:
1. It shines.
2. It's in space.
3. It's in the Milky Way.
4. It's *not* circling us. We're circling it.
5. The Greeks thought there was actually a god in a horse cart tugging the Sun around the skies. He was also a ratty little tattle-tale.

That answer is the most specific.

Q11. What is in between Mars and Jupiter?

[Shrooblord]

What, besides distance, vacuum and some space dust? I guess the asteroid belt? How about the imaginary line that distinguishes one half of the Solar System from the other, naming one the 'Inner Solarsystem' and the other the 'Outer Solarsystem'?

[Adsolution]

Their orbits are about 55 million kilometres apart.

Asteroid Belt is right.

[Shrooblord]

Delicious candy.

[Ray502]

Yes.
