Have you researched any of your answers? Five of them are wrong.
You have provided your own answers, so let's go through each statement and clarify whether it is true or false.
a.) All the planets travel around the sun at the same speed. Your answer is T, which is correct. However, to explain how to get this answer, you need to know that the statement is false. The planets in our solar system do not travel at the same speed, as their distances from the sun vary, resulting in different orbital velocities.
b.) The sun's gravity keeps the planets in orbit around it. Your answer is F, which is incorrect. The statement is true. The sun's gravity is responsible for the planets orbiting around it.
c.) There is an asteroid belt between Jupiter and Saturn. Your answer is T, which is correct. The statement is true. The asteroid belt is a region located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, not between Jupiter and Saturn.
d.) The Milky Way galaxy is just one of many, many galaxies in space. Your answer is T, which is correct. The statement is true. The Milky Way is indeed one of billions of galaxies in the universe.
e.) Several planets have rings. Your answer is F, which is incorrect. The statement is true. Planets such as Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune have rings.
f.) The orbits of Pluto and Neptune overlap each other at times. Your answer is F, which is correct. The statement is false. While Pluto's orbit can sometimes come close to Neptune's orbit, the two do not directly overlap each other.
