lmao, it's aight, in that case, my turn.
1. What dwarf planet is the Tombaugh Regio located on? Who was it named after? What is its composition? What is its shape?
2. What percentage of the asteroid belts mass is composed of Ceres. What type asteroid is Ceres?
3. What type of orbit did Oumuamua have? All objects that have these types of orbits have an eccentricity greater than what number?
4. Which mission had a gold disk containing information about Earth attached to it?
1. Pluto, Clye Tombaugh, Nitrogen Ice, Heart
2. 25%, C-type
3. Hyperbolic, 1
4. Both Voyagers

1. Correct! Except I think you made a typo on Clyde
2. Correct!
3. Correct!
4. Correct!
Your turn.

Quick question about the questions on the National Sample test on soinc, how do I solve the weird radio waves, microwaves, etc. thing? It's really confusing and I just don't understand it at all.

1. What can be inferred from the existence of Haumea's satellites and its fast rotation?
2. Name one possible reason something would orbit retrograde.
3. What is a mean motion resonance?

1. There was probably a massive impact that sent it flying and the impact probably took off 2 chunks of either object to create Hi'aka and Namaka
2. Gravitational capture
3. it's a ratio comparing 2 objects orbital period that only uses integers.

This planet's orbit has a semi-major axis of 5 AU's and an eccentricity of 0.2.
1. How many times further is this planet from the Sun than Earth?
2. At aphelion, how far is this planet from the Sun?
3. Is the orbit of this planet more or less elliptical than Earth.
