2. What physical property or properties must a Solar System object display to have high mountains?
3. Which planets have tidally locked satellites?
1. The heliosphere
2. I really have almost no idea on this one so I am going to guess a high extending atmosphere?
3. Earth, Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Neptune, and Uranus?
I don’t recall that the rule covers these... Did the rules cover these questions too?
LiteralRhinoceros wrote:Alright, it's just on most tests I have taken, some general space science stuff seems to come up.
These were the answers.
1. Heliopause
2. No atmosphere, low gravity, and no plate tectonics.
3. Earth, Jupiter, Saturn
Can the answer for number 2 be “barely any atmosphere” or “little atmosphere” or something like that too?

on number one it does have a lot of methane but (especially at the poles) it is mostly made up of tholins that include methane.
Tholins are just a wide variety of compounds, the tholins on Charon are mainly made up of methane and nitrogen.
Next questions please? Thanks.

1. Sallt
2. Red, it has organic compounds on its surface.
3. IDK what you mean by why. I guess it's just on the cusp between being an ellipsoid and attaining hydrostatic equilibrium in terms of is mass.
4. It was discovered by William Henry Pickering on March 18, 1899.
5. Its main goal is to visit the Jupiter trojans, specifically: 3548 Eurybates, 15094 Polymele, 11351 Leucus, 21900 Orus, and 617 Patroclus with its satellite Menoetius. It is schedules to launch in 2021.

1. Correct, although I would've put "highly reflective salt"
2. Correct
3. It is because of self gravitation
4. Correct
5. Correct!
Your turn!

1. Name 3 possible ways one may date the surface of a terrestrial body. (relative or absolute)
2. Alluvium is an example of what layer of material on terrestrial planets?
3. What is the Phoebe ring?

Wow these are hard. Can you announce the answer after a while if no one answers this? Thanks.
