Astronomy 101 Final Test Questions and Answers All Correct The ancient Greeks identified 7 objects that change their location night-to-night relative to the background, "fixed" stars of the celestial sphere. They dubbed these objects the "wanderers". Which one of the "wanderers" wanders the most (i.e., changes its position the most from one night to the next) relative to the fixed stars of the celestial sphere? - Answer-The moon (has the fastest apparent motion in the sky, changing its l...

A line running from due north to due south through a point directly overhead is called a meridian Residents of the Southern Hemisphere cannot see the stars around the north celestial pole because Earth itself is in the way. A sky observer in the southern hemisphere would see stars moving which way? clockwise Is there any location on Earth where the entire sky is potentially visible within a 24 hour period (ignoring the fact that some stars can't be seen if it is daytime)...

WGU C451 Module 2: Forces, Energy, and Motion Questions and Answers Rated A+ What is potential energy? Stored energy that has the potential to do work. How does a change in mass of an object affect the gravitational potential energy of that object? How does a change in height affect it? The greater the mass, the greater the force of gravity it exerts, so the more attracted to each other they will be. When objects are pulled further apart, the force of gravity weakens. The distance increases the...
