THE UNIVERSE (pp. 143-146)

A. Identification:
1. He described that the universe has the earth as the center and the sun and other planets are
attached to it.
2. Theory where it states that the universe sprang as a singularity.
3. He revived the idea that the earth is the center of the universe but otherwise argued that the sun is
simply the one in the center and other celestial body revolves around it.
4. He promoted the theory that the sun is the center of the universe.
5. This radiation is thought to be a remnant of the expanding universe that started as a singularity.
6. He is the person which theory of oscillating universe is credited for.
7. This theory emphasizes that the universe will soon grow cold after expanding and die an ultimate
heat death.
8. A term used to describe the universe after it apparently dies for it used all the energy it has.
9. This theory explains that the universe looks the same at every point and every direction.
10. This law states that the galaxies are receding from each other at a speed that is proportional to their
distance.





KEPLERS LAW AND THE SUN (pp. 163-169)

True or false: Write T of the statement is true and F if the statement is false.

1. Solar flares are violent explosions in the chromosphere above sunspot groups.
2. The earth is the center of the solar system.
3. The core is the innermost layer of the sun and the source of all its energy.
4. The first law of planetary motion states that the sun is not at the center of the ellipse, but instead at on focus.
5. The line joining the planet to the sun sweeps out equal volume in equal times as the planets travel around the
ellipse.
6. Photosphere is the suns darker and cooler region.
7. Chromosphere can be seen during solar eclipse.
8. Sunspot is the deepest layer of the sun that you can see.
9. Solar prominences are sculpted into vast loops of arches by magnetic fields over sunspot group.

METEOROLOGY (pp. 195-207)

Identification. Identify the following concepts:
1. The science that deals with the study of weather and climate.
2. It is the layer of gases surrounding the earth.
3. The layer where temperature decreases and where most of the weather, clouds, precipitation such as
rain, snow, sleet, storms, hail occur.
4. Scientists call cold trap because this is a point where rising water vapor cannot go higher because it
changes into ice.
5. It is the trapping of heat.
6. The second layer where many jets aircrafts fly.
7. It absorbs and filters the burning ultraviolet rays from the sun.
