Blast into orbit with this well-rounded quiz. Will you crash back to Earth, or reach the stars?
The International Space Station’s orbit is a circle on an angle. Each orbit, it gets as far north as the United Kingdom, and further south than New Zealand!
Your orbital bones are the parts of your skull that surround the eye.
It takes 687 Earth days for Mars to orbit the Sun.
Orb weavers are spiders that weave big, wheel-shaped webs.
Pluto’s orbit is highly elliptical, so this dwarf planet’s orbit looks quite ‘squashed’ compared to many planets with more circular orbits.
Congratulations! You are a real science whiz!
Oh dear! Better brush up before the next quiz!
