    What galaxy does our solar system belong to?

    Answer: Milky Way

    Why: Our solar system orbits within one of the spiral arms of the Milky Way, roughly 26,000 light-years from its center.

  2. 2 Easy

    What object has gravity so strong that light cannot escape?

    Answer: Black hole

    Why: Matter inside a black hole collapses to such high density that escape velocity exceeds the speed of light.

  3. 3 Easy

    Where in the solar system is surface heat highest?

    Answer: Venus

    Why: Venus reaches about 465°C because its thick carbon dioxide atmosphere traps heat.

  4. 4 Easy

    What explosive event marks the death of a massive star?

    Answer: Supernova

    Why: During a core-collapse supernova, a single dying star can briefly release more light than all other stars in its galaxy combined.

  5. 5 Easy

    What causes a shooting star to glow?

    Answer: Atmospheric friction

    Why: A meteor glows because high speed compresses air ahead of the pebble-sized rock, creating extreme frictional heat.

  6. 6 Easy

    What icy belt lies beyond Neptune's orbit?

    Answer: Kuiper belt

    Why: Pluto shares the Kuiper belt with thousands of other icy remnants left over from the formation of the solar system.
