Why is the pressure so high deep inside the outer planets?(1 point)
They are very far from the sun.
They have very large gas masses.
They have rings.
They have very large solid masses
1. A video shows the objects in the solar system orbiting the sun. Why do objects orbit the sun?
A: The sun is so massive that it has the most gravity.
2. Suppose a person built a sandcastle of moon sand on the moon. What would that person find there a month later?
A: The sandcastle would remain in place the same size that it was because the moon has no wind.
3. Use the scenario to answer the question. A student creates a diagram comparing the sizes of objects in the solar system. Which two objects are often similar in size?
A: asteroids and comets
4. Why is the pressure so high deep inside the outer planets?
A: They have very large gas masses.
5. Which planet is most similar in size to Earth?
A: Venus
6. Use the scenario to answer the question. A student makes a chart about galaxies and mentions that the universe consists of many galaxies such as the Andromeda galaxy and the Milky Way galaxy. Which statement is true about these two galaxies?
A: They both exert a strong gravitational pull on each other.
7. Why do students and scientists construct scale models of natural phenomena?
A: to better observe patterns and relationships
8. Which planet is approximately four times larger than the diameter of Venus on a scale model?
A: Neptune
9. How does distance affects gravity?
A: Gravity increases with decreasing distance.
10. What is being used by scientists to organize Earth’s history?
A: geologic time scale
For questions 11 to 13, DO NOT COPY BECAUSE YOU ARE PLAGIARIZING. YOU WILL BE IN TROUBLE.
11. A model shows that the moon has grown to twice its size, yet it has remained in the same place. In one to two sentences, explain how this would impact the gravity between Earth and the moon.
A: If the moon grew twice its size, its mass would be huge, then the gravity between Earth and the moon would be twice as much. The reason is that the larger the mass of an object, the more gravity it has.
12. Use the scenario to answer the question. Scientists have discovered a new planet. The planet is in a solar system whose star is similar in size to the sun and is about as far from the star as Venus is from the sun. The planet is similar in size to Earth, and its atmosphere is similar in thickness to Earth’s atmosphere. The atmosphere is composed almost entirely of carbon dioxide and methane. In three to five sentences, make a hypothesis about the temperature on the planet’s surface. Explain your answer using information about the planet’s location and atmosphere.
A: My hypothesis is that the temperature on the planet's surface will be scorching. Methane and carbon dioxide are greenhouse gasses, so they will trap heat. The gasses would then make the globe hot. Also, if the distance from the star is similar to Venus then the sun would heat the world, which lets the gasses capture extra heat.
13. A student wants to draw a scale model of the solar system. In three to four sentences or bullet points, explain what steps should be taken to create this model.
A: How To Make A Scale Model of the Solar System:
Get pencils, a ruler, and paper.
1. Make a table of how far each planet from the sun is in 2. AU, and then make one AU equals to one cm.
3. Measure the distance of each planet from the sun in cm.
4. Draw the sun with the planets.
PLEASE HELPPPPPP
the "gas giants" have strong gravitational fields because of their high masses
I think it's B.
yes b
Senju_san is CORRECT! 100% also i use this method where you look at you questions go into the questions LLC and press ctrl + F and type the question from the assessment and it will take you to it if its here.
The correct answer is: They have very large gas masses.
Deep inside the outer planets, such as Jupiter and Saturn, the pressure is extremely high due to their large gas masses. The outer planets are mostly composed of hydrogen and helium, which are highly compressible gases. As we move closer to the center of these planets, the weight of the gas above exerts a tremendous force, resulting in higher pressure.
To understand why the pressure is high, we need to consider the gas laws. One of the fundamental gas laws, known as Boyle's law, states that as the volume of a gas decreases, its pressure increases, as long as the temperature remains constant. In the case of the outer planets, their massive gas volumes continually decrease as we move inward towards their cores.
As the gravity of these planets pulls the gas inwards, the weight of the gas above creates intense pressure. This pressure is responsible for the unique and extreme conditions found deep within the outer planets, including the formation of metallic hydrogen, where hydrogen behaves like a metal due to the high pressure.
Therefore, it is the large gas masses present in the outer planets that result in the high pressures observed deep inside them.
