In summary, the conversation involves someone seeking help with a homework assignment that is due the next morning. They are confused about several science questions and are looking for tips or explanations. The questions range from determining the correct answer based on a probe's mission, understanding the meaning of a question, and identifying the heat source for a small object's continued activity. The conversation also comments on the poor phrasing of some of the science questions and the use of irrelevant or easy questions.

We normally have a rule about telling people the answer to homework - but these are the worst phrased 'science' questions I have seen for a while.

7, I would say C but it's not a science question. It depends on what the probe is supposed to do and the balance of damage vs data ?

8, If a is true b is also true. e is wrong it is the weakest. d isn't even a question so C ?

9, Do they mean linear speed or angular velocity ?

10, What does this even mean ??
a, they don't have life - neother do most planets
b, False the lack of craters is due to either the ice reforming over the surface (Europa) or the active surface being replaced by volcanoes (io)
c, so the anallogy is poor, does thtis mean the question is wrong.
d, planets are formed from different things as well
e, so what does this mean for the question?

11, Is the nearest so far to being science! If a small object like io is still active 4 billion years later it has to be a heat source that is constantly supplying new energy = tidal.

12, a might be true, don't know. It would have to be a very thin atmosphere given the low temperature. b and d are obviously wrong.
c - sort of makes sense except is it really plate techtonics if there is no subduction zones/ ridge spreading.
e - none of the above would seem to apply to almost all these questions.

13 d - you need moving conducting material to make a magnetic field. So you would have to have a molten metal core.

14 a - we sort of answered this in 10

15, Is a stamp collecting question = know the name of a named feature. As a hint a donut is a torus - but that doesn't mean whoever named the object on io named it a torus.

16, is just rig if you know the numbers.

17, They are all organic molecules, they are also all hydrocarbons or you could just say chemicals. This is not an english lit exam, do you pick the term that rhymes best!

18 is just match the word water from the previous sentance.

19 Just use F=ma

20, A question that asks you to just go and look it up on the web !

Hello there,

I understand how stressful it can be when you have an assignment due tomorrow morning and you still have some confusing problems to solve. Fortunately, there are many resources available to help you with your astronomy homework.

One option is to reach out to your classmates or professor for clarification on the specific problems you are struggling with. They may be able to provide you with some tips or explanations that can help you better understand the concepts.

Another option is to seek out online resources, such as tutoring services or study forums, where you can get personalized help with your homework. You can also try searching for video tutorials or practice problems related to your assignment to gain a better understanding of the material.

It's important to remember that it's okay to ask for help and to not be afraid to reach out for assistance when needed. With some determination and the right resources, I am confident that you will be able to complete your assignment successfully. Best of luck!
 

What is astronomy?

Astronomy is the scientific study of celestial objects and phenomena, such as planets, stars, galaxies, and the universe as a whole.

What are the branches of astronomy?

The branches of astronomy include astrophysics, planetary science, cosmology, and astrobiology.

How do astronomers study objects in space?

Astronomers use a variety of tools and techniques to study objects in space, such as telescopes, satellites, and spacecraft. They also use data analysis and computer modeling to make observations and predictions.

What is the difference between astronomy and astrology?

Astronomy is a scientific field that seeks to understand the universe through observation and experimentation. Astrology, on the other hand, is a belief system that claims to interpret how the positions of celestial bodies can influence human affairs.

What are some recent advancements in astronomy?

Some recent advancements in astronomy include the discovery of exoplanets (planets outside of our solar system), the detection of gravitational waves, and the development of new technology such as the James Webb Space Telescope.
