Solar System B

I agree...

Do you think that they would disqualify you if you bring more than a two sided page of notes because when we went to regionals the person coaching the event didn't look at what we brought

[brobo]

Yah, no doubt, if you brought anything else they would imediately DQ you. You are ONLY allowed a pencill/pen/writing utensil(s), calculator, and notes. They don't look at everything, but if they see you have more notes than 1 sheet, you are DQ without question. Don't even try to bring anything else in.

Also, if anyone is interested, I was able to create a chart with a total of 55 moons in the solar system, complete with official name, orbit period, discoverer, planet of which it orbits, year of discovery, and rotation period. I know its just a small fraction of all the moons, but it took me a little while. I used Google Squared, so it was pretty easy. Sadly the link only allows you to view the square, but if there's anything I didn't put into it that you want me to add, just say so and I'll update the link.

i loved this event! i did it in 7th grade, they took it out when i was in 8th grade and its not a C event cauz its way too easy...

I always imagined solar system to be a tough event because it involves laws of physics and formulas. (Kepler's Laws, Newston's Laws, Laws of gravitational constant etc.)

[Helix_Nebula_Freak]

You know, that particular part of the event has never been that difficult for me. It's always been things such as identifying features of the moon and/or planets that has checked me up...

Below is a link to an interactive site involving the solar system. It is useful for learning about the characteristics and statistics of each planet and the sun.
