Question 1: What best defines an astronomical 'light-year'?
A unit of time equal to one Earth year in space
The time it takes light to cross the Milky Way
The distance light travels in one year
The period of brightness variation of a star
Question 2: Why do astronauts feel weightless aboard the International Space Station?
Spacesuits cancel gravitational pull on the body
Air pressure inside the station balances Earth's gravity
They are in continuous free fall around Earth
There is no gravity above Earth's atmosphere
Question 3: Which process primarily powers stars like the Sun?
Nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium
Slow chemical combustion of gases
Absorption of cosmic rays
Nuclear fission of heavy elements
Question 4: How does a planet's atmosphere most directly affect surface temperature?
By producing magnetic storms that heat the ground
By trapping infrared radiation via greenhouse gases
By significantly altering a planet's orbital distance
By reflecting visible light to increase heating
Question 5: Which observation most directly indicates an object is an exoplanet rather than a background star?
Random brief flares from the object's position
Movement across the sky due to parallax only
Periodic, small dimming of its host star's light as it transits
A steady reddish color in all images
Question 6: What is the main reason the Moon has many more visible craters than Earth?
Earth's magnetic field diverts all impactors
Moon rocks explode on impact creating visible marks
The Moon is hit by many more objects than Earth
Lack of atmosphere, water, and tectonics to erase impacts
Question 7: Which statement correctly describes how telescope aperture affects observations?
Larger aperture improves light-gathering and resolution
Smaller apertures always give better contrast
Aperture determines the telescope's orbital altitude
Aperture only changes field of view, not brightness
Question 8: Which common idea about black holes is a myth?
They suck in everything at a great distance like vacuum cleaners
Their immediate surroundings can emit bright radiation
Their size scales with mass and can vary widely
They bend light because of intense gravity
