We're taking a break from our state projects today to answer a few really interesting questions about planets and the solar system.
- How do planets form?
- What are some different kinds of stars? What makes stars different from each other?
- What is an "exoplanet" and how do scientists find them?
- What characteristics make a planet or moon a likely place to find life? What are examples of places with those characteristics?
- What is a star's life cycle?
- Why are the inner planets rocky and the outer planets gaseous?
- How big is space? Give lots of examples and analogies.
- Why is a manned mission to Mars so hard?
- Pick a space mission: What did or are we learning from it?
