This document appears to be a final exam for an astronomy course. It consists of 50 multiple choice questions testing concepts covered in the course, followed by open response sections. The multiple choice questions cover topics such as the scientific method, theories of the solar system, properties of stars and galaxies, and the age and expansion of the universe. The open response sections ask students to apply formulas to calculate distances and ages, compare star properties, and analyze hypothetical planetary systems and star cluster diagrams.
This document contains a 20 question astronomy review packet covering topics like the formation of the solar system, stellar evolution, properties of stars and galaxies. It includes diagrams and tables to reference in answering multiple choice and short answer questions. The review covers the life cycles of stars of different masses, including our Sun, as well as properties of planets, asteroids and galaxies.
The document contains a review of astronomy concepts tested over multiple choice questions. It covers topics like:
- Where small stars are located on the H-R diagram (main sequence)
- That 90% of stars fall on the main sequence
- Jovian planets have greater diameters and slower rotation compared to terrestrial planets
- A white dwarf is cooler and smaller than the Sun
- Red giants have greater luminosity than the Sun due to being larger
The document discusses various celestial models including the geocentric and heliocentric models of the solar system. It provides diagrams of the positions of Earth, Moon, and Sun to illustrate phenomena like solar eclipses and ocean tides. Multiple choice questions test understanding of these concepts and which evidence supports that the Earth rotates and revolves rather than being stationary.
1) The density of an ice cube is less than the density of liquid water, as an ice cube's molecules are farther apart than in water.
2) As an air mass is heated, its density generally decreases due to thermal expansion.
3) In the Northern Hemisphere, surface winds around a low-pressure system circulate counterclockwise and inward, while they circulate clockwise and outward around a high-pressure system.
The document summarizes information about the formation and evolution of stars, including our sun. It discusses how stars are formed from collapsing gas clouds, and how stars of different masses will evolve differently. Lower mass stars like our sun will become red giants and end as white dwarfs, while very massive stars may explode as supernovae and form neutron stars or black holes. It also provides information about classifying and identifying properties of stars using tools like spectroscopy and star charts.
The document contains a 25 question astronomy quiz covering topics like:
- Basic facts about the Earth's orbit and the Milky Way galaxy
- Features of planets like Mars and moons of Jupiter
- Locations of constellations and bright stars
- Characteristics of astronomical objects like the Crab Nebula and Eagle Nebula
- Details of comets, asteroids, and telescopes
The quiz tests knowledge of the solar system, galaxies, notable astronomical phenomena, and observational astronomy tools. It covers both scientific concepts and names of celestial objects across our solar system and beyond.

The Sky
Astronomy is about us. As we learn about astronomy, we learn about ourselves. We search for an answer to the question “What are we?” The quick answer is that we are thinking creatures living on a planet that circles a star we call the sun. In this chapter, we begin trying to understand that answer. What does it mean to live on a planet?
The preceding chapter gave us a quick overview of the universe, and chapters later in the book will discuss the details. This chapter and the next help us understand what the universe looks like seen from the surface of our spinning planet.
But appearances are deceiving. We will see in Chapter 4 how difficult it has been for humanity to understand what we see in the #sky every day. In fact, we will discover that modern science was born when people tried to understand the appearance of the sky.
This document provides information about space, cosmology, the Big Bang theory, and the formation and significance of stars. It discusses what space is, the study of cosmology, evidence for the Big Bang, how stars are formed from nebulae and gravitational collapse, and how stars provide light, heat, energy and are essential for life on Earth.
Here are potential responses to the questions:
1. The Solar System consists of the Sun orbited by 8 planets, dwarf planets, asteroids and comets. A planet orbits the Sun, is massive enough to be spherical, and has cleared its orbit of smaller objects. A moon orbits a planet.
2. Gravitational field strength is a measure of the strength of gravity. It varies in the Solar System and is greatest near the most massive objects. It is 10 N/kg on Earth but lower on planets farther from the Sun like Mars or Pluto.
3. A comet's orbit is highly elongated rather than nearly circular like planets. Comets move fastest when closest to the Sun due to its stronger gravitational pull.

2. Gravitational field strength measures the strength of gravity and varies between celestial bodies, being strongest near the most massive objects like the Sun.
3. A comet's orbit is highly elongated while planets follow nearly circular orbits around the Sun. Comets move fastest when closest to the Sun.
The document provides information about maps and geography. It defines key map terms like scale, cardinal directions, components of a map, and how symbols are used. It distinguishes between different types of maps like physical, thematic, and political maps. Maps are explained to be more useful than globes for studying specific areas due to their level of detail. Thematic maps provide detailed information on topics like forest distribution. A compass is used to find main directions, and a scale is necessary for maps but not sketches or symbols.
The Milky Way is a spiral galaxy that contains over 200 billion stars. It is 100,000 light years in diameter and located in the Local Group of galaxies. The Sun is located about 26,000 light years from the center of the Milky Way in one of the galaxy's spiral arms. The Milky Way consists of a bar-shaped core surrounded by a disk containing stars, gas and dust, as well as four major spiral arms.
The document summarizes key facts about the Moon:
- It is Earth's only natural satellite and formed 4.5 billion years ago from debris after a giant impact between Earth and a Mars-sized body.
- The Moon has a solid iron core and is differentiated into a crust, mantle, and core. Its surface is marked by dark volcanic maria and bright highlands with impact craters.
- Notable features include large impact basins on the far side and volcanic maria composed of ancient basaltic lava flows mostly on the near side. The youngest lunar eruptions were only a few million years ago.
The document summarizes key information about Earth and its position in the solar system. It discusses that Earth and other celestial bodies like the sun, moon, stars and planets shine in the night sky. It also explains that Earth is the third planet from the sun and has conditions suitable for life, making it a "blue planet." The moon is Earth's only natural satellite and orbits Earth every 27 days.

Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune all have strong magnetic fields. To generate a magnetic field, a planet must have a layer that is both fluid, meaning it can move in complex ways, and conductive, meaning that electrons can flow through it easily. To generate a strong magnetic field, this layer, and hence the planet as a whole, must also rotate rapidly (which all of these planets do).
Which of the following materials is not responsible for generating any of these planets' magnetic fields?
A. Liquid iron
B. Metallic hydrogen C. Molecular hydrogen
D. Water-ammonia slush

The energy falling on a 1 m^2 surface on Earth in a year is:
Lsun x π x 1 x (1 year) = 3.90x1026 W x π x 1 x (3600 s/hr x 24 hr/day x 365.25 day/year) = 1.36x1017 J
Where Lsun is the luminosity of the Sun (3.90x1026 W) and 1 year is converted to seconds.
Stars form when enough dust and gas from space is pulled together by gravitational attraction. During a star's main sequence period, it is stable as the forces within it are balanced. A star goes through a life cycle determined by its size, where it fuses hydrogen into helium for millions of years through nuclear fusion, then changes dramatically at the end of its life.
The document discusses the immense size and scale of the universe. It provides sizes and comparisons for objects from Earth to the observable universe. Earth is compared to a salt grain, while the Sun is like a gumball. The solar system spans a football stadium and galaxies are like orbits of outer planets. The observable universe extends as far as the Oort cloud at the edge of our solar system. Precise measurement techniques are needed to determine astronomical distances.
Habiatal Zone (outside our solar system)Bob Smullen
The document discusses the habitability of planets outside our solar system. It covers topics like the habitable zones around different types of stars where liquid water could exist, methods used to detect exoplanets, and factors that influence a planet's potential habitability such as size, atmosphere, and distance from the host star. It also examines probabilities for life elsewhere in the galaxy based on the Drake Equation and considers challenges around detecting and communicating with intelligent civilizations.
The document provides information about the 8 planets in our solar system as well as 3 dwarf planets - Pluto, Ceres, and Eris. It discusses key facts about each planet such as their distance from the sun, rotation and revolution periods, composition of their atmospheres, and notable features. It also defines common terms like revolve, rotate, and orbit. Key differences between the inner and outer planets are that inner planets are smaller and closer to the sun while outer planets are large gaseous spheres with rings.

Analyze and interpret the following quotation The confrontation of.docxikirkton
Analyze and interpret the following quotation: “The confrontation of Western civilization with other peoples whose values were often dramatically opposed to the West’s…suggests that by the dawn of the twentieth century, the tradition and sense of centeredness that had defined indigenous cultures for hundreds, even thousands, of years was either threatened or in the process of being destroyed. Worldwide, non-Western cultures suddenly found that they were defined as outposts of new colonial empires developed by Europeans, resulting in the weakening of traditional cultural practices, political leadership, and social systems that had been in place for centuries.” (Sayre, 2013, pp. 410-411).
In the later nineteenth and early twentieth century, what would this “loss of centeredness” of culture have meant for a given cultural group? Select from among the non-Western cultural groups noted in the text (Native American, Chinese, Indian, Japanese, or African) and research the impact of Western or European cultures on that group.
What was the selected non-Western culture like prior to the late nineteenth century? How did it change as a result of European expansion? How is this change representative of what Sayre calls a “loss of centeredness?” Be sure to use specific examples and details.
Submit your findings in a 4-page essay in APA format.

Select all that apply. Which of the following statements about the Galilean moons is true?
A. Because Io is closest to Jupiter, its tidal heating is the greatest, resulting in a mantle of molten rock and consequently in volcanic eruptions and lava flows that are hot enough to have evaporated the surface water, which was lost to space.
B. Because Europa is farther from Jupiter than Io, its tidal heating is less, resulting in a mantle of solid rock covered by an ocean of water.C. Because Ganymede is farther from Jupiter than Europa, its tidal heating is less, resulting in a mantle of solid rock covered by an ocean that probably consists of a slushy mix of water and ice.
D. Because Callisto is farther from Jupiter than Ganymede, its tidal heating is less, resulting in an interior that was never warm enough to differentiate: It remains an icy/rocky mix.

5.Question DetailsMy Notes
Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune all have strong magnetic fields. To generate a magnetic field, a planet must have a layer that is both fluid, meaning it can move in complex ways, and conductive, meaning that electrons can flow through it easily. To generate a strong magnetic field, this layer, and hence the planet as a whole, must also rotate rapidly (which all of these planets do).
Which of the following materials is not responsible for generating any of these planets' magnetic fields?
A. Liquid iron
B. Metallic hydrogen C. Molecular hydrogen
D. Water-ammonia slush

The energy falling on a 1 m^2 surface on Earth in a year is:
Lsun x π x 1 x (1 year) = 3.90x1026 W x π x 1 x (3600 s/hr x 24 hr/day x 365.25 day/year) = 1.36x1017 J
Where Lsun is the luminosity of the Sun (3.90x1026 W) and 1 year is converted to seconds.
Stars form when enough dust and gas from space is pulled together by gravitational attraction. During a star's main sequence period, it is stable as the forces within it are balanced. A star goes through a life cycle determined by its size, where it fuses hydrogen into helium for millions of years through nuclear fusion, then changes dramatically at the end of its life.
The document discusses the immense size and scale of the universe. It provides sizes and comparisons for objects from Earth to the observable universe. Earth is compared to a salt grain, while the Sun is like a gumball. The solar system spans a football stadium and galaxies are like orbits of outer planets. The observable universe extends as far as the Oort cloud at the edge of our solar system. Precise measurement techniques are needed to determine astronomical distances.
Habiatal Zone (outside our solar system)Bob Smullen
The document discusses the habitability of planets outside our solar system. It covers topics like the habitable zones around different types of stars where liquid water could exist, methods used to detect exoplanets, and factors that influence a planet's potential habitability such as size, atmosphere, and distance from the host star. It also examines probabilities for life elsewhere in the galaxy based on the Drake Equation and considers challenges around detecting and communicating with intelligent civilizations.
The document provides information about the 8 planets in our solar system as well as 3 dwarf planets - Pluto, Ceres, and Eris. It discusses key facts about each planet such as their distance from the sun, rotation and revolution periods, composition of their atmospheres, and notable features. It also defines common terms like revolve, rotate, and orbit. Key differences between the inner and outer planets are that inner planets are smaller and closer to the sun while outer planets are large gaseous spheres with rings.

Analyze and interpret the following quotation The confrontation of.docxikirkton
Analyze and interpret the following quotation: “The confrontation of Western civilization with other peoples whose values were often dramatically opposed to the West’s…suggests that by the dawn of the twentieth century, the tradition and sense of centeredness that had defined indigenous cultures for hundreds, even thousands, of years was either threatened or in the process of being destroyed. Worldwide, non-Western cultures suddenly found that they were defined as outposts of new colonial empires developed by Europeans, resulting in the weakening of traditional cultural practices, political leadership, and social systems that had been in place for centuries.” (Sayre, 2013, pp. 410-411).
In the later nineteenth and early twentieth century, what would this “loss of centeredness” of culture have meant for a given cultural group? Select from among the non-Western cultural groups noted in the text (Native American, Chinese, Indian, Japanese, or African) and research the impact of Western or European cultures on that group.
What was the selected non-Western culture like prior to the late nineteenth century? How did it change as a result of European expansion? How is this change representative of what Sayre calls a “loss of centeredness?” Be sure to use specific examples and details.

Analyze and prepare a critique of the following situationMary h.docxikirkton
Analyze and prepare a critique of the following situation:
Mary has worked for Bob for two years. About 6 months ago, Bob asked Mary out to dinner. They had a good time together and agreed that they had some real interests in common outside of work. The pair dated for two months. Mary initially liked Bob, but he was beginning to get annoying. He called her all the time, was very pushy about her seeing him, and wanted to control all aspects of her life; both at work and at home. Mary decided to call it off. When she told Bob that she did not want to see him personally anymore, he went crazy on her. He told her she would be sorry and that he would see to it that she regretted it. Bob began to make life miserable for Mary at work. She suddenly started to get poor performance evaluations after two years of exemplary reviews. Even the managers above Bob were beginning to make comments about her poor attitude. Mary decided it was time to act. She was worried she would be fired, all because Bob wanted her to continue to date him. She loved her job and knew she did quality work. She made an appointment with the HR manager.
Using the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1991, discuss the type of sexual harassment Mary thinks she is experiencing. What are the obligations of the HR manager once Mary reports this? Discuss the likelihood that Bob would be found guilty of sexually harassing Mary. If the HR manager investigates and finds Mary is telling the truth, what should s/he do to handle the situation so that the company is not found complicit by the EEOC if further complaint is made? If found in Mary's favor, what options does the HR manager have to remedy the situation?

Analyze the anthropological film Jero A Balinese Trance Seance made.docxikirkton
The document provides guidance for analyzing the anthropological film "Jero: A Balinese Trance Seance" by discussing key concepts to explore such as cultural relativism and visual imperialism. Students are instructed to choose two or three concepts from readings and lectures to analyze how the film presents culture and ethnicity. They should consider the filmmakers' approach and construction of the presented culture, who Jero is and her significance, what was learned, and any ethical implications. Students are asked to evaluate if the filmmakers employed cultural relativism or privileged their own culture. They should also discuss how anthropology's shift may have impacted the filmmakers' approach and if it could have been more effective.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

[1] Comet Halley has an orbital period of about 75 years.
(a). Using one of the formulas from the formula sheet,
determine the average distance of Comet Halley from the sun in
AU.
(b). Sometimes, Comet Halley can be found just about past the
orbit of Neptune, which is (on average) about 30 AU from the
sun. Explain how this is possible given the average distance you
found from its orbital period.
20. [2] (a). If the measured parallax shift of star A is 0.1 arcsecs
and the parallax shift of star B is 0.05 arcsecs, which star is
farther away from the Earth, why?
(b). Using one of the formulas from the formula sheet, what is
the distance of the farther star in parsecs?
(c). What is the distance of the farther star in light-years?
[3] Two stars have the same radius but have very different
temperatures. The red star has a surface temperature of 3000 K
and the blue star has a surface temperature of 15,000 K. Using
one of the formulas from the formula sheet , by what factor is
the blue star more (or less) luminous compared to the red star?
(for example, 2 times, 10 times, 100 times?)
(a). The blue star is _____ times (b). _____ (more/less)
luminous.
[4] There was a great debate concerning the value of the Hubble
constant. (NOTE: The presently accepted value of the Hubble
constant is 72 km/s/Mpc as listed in your formula sheet.)
One party believed the Hubble constant (Ho) was closer to 50
km/s/Mpc and the other party believed the Hubble constant was
closer to 100 km/s/Mpc. Assuming you measure a recessional
velocity of a galaxy of 10,000 km/s, using one of the formulas
from the formula sheet, what is the distance to that galaxy given
the two different Hubble constants?
(a). Distance to galaxy using 100 km/s/Mpc = _____ Mpc
(b). Distance to galaxy using 50 km/s/Mpc = _____ Mpc
(c). How do the different Hubble constants affect the calculated
age of the universe?
