Re: Solar System B
yes you do. it's the last letter.
on our regional test, there was a starmap. my partner did it, I didn't see the questions but it didn't seem to be "the day of the competition" thing, those are way to hard to set up for the test maker.
anyway the more you know, the merrier.

Re: Solar System B
We do like not to much but just a bit here is a good website: http://www.dibonsmith.com/constel.htmsmarticle13 wrote:I didn't think we needed to know about constellations in solar systemsgopanda13 wrote:Do you guys know of a good website that has which constellations the planets will be in on April 17th?
Just click on the names and it will tell you about each one....on the competition they mostly ask what constellation is near a a planet

Re: Solar System B
well, know the characteristics of the planets...this is a study event, so you need to know as much about the planets as possible

Re: Solar System B
Can you be a little more specific? There's no one way to just "study". There's the planets (atmosphere, location, unique characteristics, moons if any, etc.), Keepler's laws (wording AND meaning), moons (host planet, speed of rotation and orbit), other features of the Solar System (Oort cloud, Kuiper belt, etc.), and formation theories of the solar sytem. You do not need to know any formation theories of the universe.jaydinwars wrote:hey ummm can anyone tell me a good way to study i was put on the event for state and i have hardly any knowledge of the solar system
You should know all of that, and more. Almost all of it can be found in the Solar System Wiki.

Re: Solar System B
What is the most amount of moons anyone has seen on a test? I was thinking that people should know at least the ones that are at least 50 km in radius and then some extras, but some of them seem like they could be long shots to appear somewhere. Then again, someone could come up with a long matching section on just moons or something.

Re: Solar System B
Probably just all the major ones at the most (i.e. the ones that aren't just pieces of rock floating in space that we know nothing about). You should definitely know:
Jupiter- Io, Callisto, Ganymede, Europa
Saturn- Janus, Epimetheus, Mimas, Enceladus, Tethys, Dione, Rhea, Titan, Hyperion, Iapetus
Uranus- Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, Oberon
Neptune- Triton
I'm thinking that there might be a tiebreaker on naming as many moons of, say, Saturn as you can.
