Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. I am so sore, I always have all of these people moving around on me.

Answer: Earth

Earth is the only planet in the Solar System able to support human life comfortably. This is due to the pleasant temperature range, abundant water, and free oxygen.

2. I am not really a planet at all, although I used to be one.

Answer: Pluto

In 2006 it was decided that Pluto is not a planet.

3. I may not be the largest planet (hmph), but at least my ring system is by far the largest, and might I say the most beautiful.

Answer: Saturn

Saturn is known for having the most beautiful rings surrounding it. Although the origin of the rings are unclear, it is thought that they were formed by shattered moons.

4. I am getting awfully dizzy having to roll around on my side. I wish something could turn me back up like I should be.

Answer: Uranus

Instead of rotating perpendicular to the plane of its orbit (like all the other planets in our Solar System), Uranus rotates on its side.

5. I feel so smothered by my thick atmosphere. I feel hot enough to melt lead. I am not the closest to you, however, I am definitely the hottest.

Answer: Venus

Venus is surrounded by a heavy carbon dioxide atmosphere. Temperatures can reach as high as 900 degrees Fahrenheit. The high temperature is due to a runaway greenhouse effect.

6. I am the planet furthest from the sun. My winds blow me too hard, they must be the fastest of all the other planets' winds.

Answer: Neptune

Neptune has the strongest winds recorded of any other planet. The winds on Neptune can reach up to 1,200 miles an hour.

7. I am so small and so close to you that it make it hard to hold on to my atmosphere. That gives me extremely hot and extremely cold flashes.

Answer: Mercury

Due to its closeness to the Sun, during the day Mercury can rise to over 750 degrees Fahrenheit, but at night, because of the lack of atmosphere to help retain the heat, Mercury's temperature can drop to -300 degrees F!

8. I am so big, I am bigger than all of the planets put together, I also have a big red mark on my face, which I'm not too happy about.

Answer: Jupiter

Jupiter is by far, the largest planet in the solar system. It is twice as massive as all the other planets combined. Jupiter is well-known for "The Great Red Spot," a storm that moves across the planet.

9. I have a bad reputation for being angry all the time, I think it is because my face is constantly red and my two moons are named after fear and panic.

Answer: Mars

Mars is sometimes referred to as the "Red Planet" because of its reddish appearance. The only two moons that Mars has are Deimos and Phobos. Their names mean fear and panic.

10. We feel so insignificant because we are hardly ever talked about. We all are just stuck here between Mars and Jupiter.

Answer: The Asteroid Belt

The asteroid belt is full of rocks and debris that orbit between Mars and Jupiter. Some asteroids have been given names - Ceres is one of the asteroids in the asteroid belt.
