1 Lesson 1 Study Guide What is? Read the lesson. Use the words in the box to complete the concept web. chromosphere corona innermost photosphere prominences solar flare star sunspots Use with pages Sun is a, star or a fiery ball of hot gases. photosphere is the part of that gives off light. It is the innermost layer of s It has dark areas called sunspots that are not as hot as the rest of the layer. chromosphere is the next layer of s Ribbons of glowing gas called prominences leap from this layer to the next. An eruption in this layer called a solar flare causes a temporary bright spot. corona is the outermost layer of s Notes for Home: Your child completed a concept web identifying information about. Ask your child to draw a model of showing the layers of its 100 Lesson 1 Study Guide Science Study Notebook

3 Lesson 2 Study Guide Why do planets revolve around? Read the lesson. Use the words in the box to complete the sentences. ellipses gravity inner planets mass Mercury Moon orbit outer planets satellite Use with pages Sun and its planets are attracted to each other by. gravity 2. Sun has much more mass than any other object in the solar system. 3. Gravity causes the planets to move in ellipses around. 4. four planets closest to are the. inner planets 5. five planets farthest from are the. outer planets 6. A satellite is an object that orbits another object in space. 7. Because it orbits Earth, the Moon is a satellite of Earth. 8. All of the planets except Venus and Mercury have at least one satellite orbiting them. 9. Gravity between the satellites and their planets keep the satellites in orbit around the planets. Notes for Home: Your child completed sentences about gravity in the solar system. Ask your child to explain why the Moon remains in orbit around Earth.
