    Our star is currently in the longest stage of its life cycle. Name what type of star it will
    become as it moves on to the next stage in the life cycle. And describe what happens as it
    moves from its current stage to the next one.

    Why are days longer in summer than in winter?

    Explain why parallax can be used to determine relative distances of stars from Earth.
    Discuss the limitations of this phenomena.

    Explain the difference between a comet and a meteor

    How many high tides do we experience a day? Use captioned diagrams to prove that your
    answer is correct.

    What is a black hole and how does it form?

    How long is the period of revolution for Earth?

    The moon has many craters, what is one possible source of a crater? Why does Earth have
    less craters than the moon?

    Explain the big bang theory. Why do many scientists think that this is possibly how our
    Universe began?
