Question 1: What primarily causes the seasons on Earth?
Variations in Earth–Sun distance
The tilt of Earth's axis relative to its orbit
Changes in the Sun's brightness
Gravitational pull from the Moon
Question 2: Which property most directly determines whether a star becomes a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole?
The chemical composition of its planets
The star's mass at the end of nuclear burning
Its distance from the galactic center
Its surface temperature during main sequence
Question 3: Why do we see only one face of the Moon from Earth?
The Moon has no atmosphere to reflect light
Solar wind prevents the Moon from rotating
The Earth's gravity keeps the Moon's far side dark
The Moon is tidally locked, rotating once per orbit
Question 4: If a spacecraft near Earth increases its speed by firing retrograde (opposite its motion), what orbital change typically occurs?
Its orbit lowers at the opposite side, reducing orbital energy
The spacecraft reverses direction in the same orbit
Its orbital inclination increases dramatically
It instantly escapes Earth's gravity
Question 5: Which statement best corrects the myth that 'black holes suck in everything nearby'?
Black holes can pull things from across galaxies instantly
Only light is attracted; matter is unaffected
Black holes emit a repulsive force that pushes objects away
Black holes exert gravity like other masses; objects orbit normally unless very close
