Mercury, Mars & Solar System Science is a FactBurst quiz in Space.
Compare objects and events at very different scales in a 10-question space quiz. You will encounter the asteroid belt, planetary temperature and density, Mercury's orbit, the first lunar landing, stellar explosions and black holes. Use the distinction between appearance and physical properties to guide you, especially where a question concerns brightness rather than size or temperature.
A few questions to get the conversation started:
1. What is the name of the region between Mars and Jupiter containing many small rocky bodies?
2. Which planet has the highest average surface temperature?
3. Which planet has the lowest mean density in the Solar System?
