The best place to look for auroras on Neptune is a. near either end of the rotation axis. b. near the south end of the rotation axis c. near the north end of the rotation axis. d. at the midlatitudes.
Go to the website for the Voyager 1 and 2 missions (http://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov), which collected data on all four of the giant planets more than two decades ago. a. Where are the spacecraft now? Click on "Images \& Video." These are still the only close-up images of Uranus and Neptune. What was learned about these planets? b. Click on "The Golden Record" and on the right, look at scenes, greetings, music, and sounds from Earth. Suppose you were asked to make a new version of the Golden Record, a playlist to send on an upcoming space mission. What would you include in one or more of those categories?
Deep in the interiors of the giant planets, water is still a liquid, even though the temperatures are tens of thousands of degrees above the boiling point of water. Water can exist in liquid form here because a. the density inside the giant planets is so high. b. the pressure inside the giant planets is so high. c. the outer Solar System is so cold. d. space has very low pressure.
Imagine a giant planet, very similar to Jupiter, that was ejected from its solar system at formation. (Such objects exist and are probably numerous, although their total number is still uncertain.) This planet would almost certainly still have (choose all that apply) a. a magnetosphere. b. thermal energy. c. auroras. d. rings.
Neptune's existence was predicted because a. Uranus did not obey Newton's laws of motion. b. Uranus wobbled on its axis. c. Uranus became brighter and fainter in an unusual way. d. some of the solar nebula's mass was unaccounted for.
