Stars, telescopes, action! Can you catch the shooting star and get a 5/5 on this space quiz?
Most people consider the distances of the planets to the Sun, rather than to each other. Mercury is the closest planet to Earth in the solar system.
False. Earth is drifting further away from the Sun, like all the other planets in the solar system. The Sun is losing mass so cannot maintain the same gravitational pull.
Saturn is known for its rings made up of billions of small chunks of rock and ice, plus other materials such as dust.
Proxima Centauri is the closest star to our Sun.
None, neither Mercury nor Venus have any moons.
Congratulations! You are a real science whiz!
Oh dear! Better brush up before the next quiz!
