| Hint | Answer | % Correct |
|---|---|---|
| any change in velocity (magnitude or direction) | acceleration | 100%
|
| the rate at which an object moves and the direction it is moving in | velocity | 100%
|
| planet on opposite side of Sun away from earth (superior planet) | conjunction | 0%
|
| when an inferior planet is further east of the sun as seen from earth (90 degree sun-planet-earth angle) | greatest eastern elongation | 0%
|
| when an inferior planet is furthest west of the sun as seen from earth (90 degree sun-planet-earth angle) | greatest western elongation | 0%
|
| when inferior planet lines up between earth and sun | inferior conjunction | 0%
|
| planets closer to the sun than earth | inferior planets | 0%
|
| planet on opposite side of earth away from sun (superior planet) | opposition | 0%
|
| elongation is perpendicular to the direction of the sun (superior planet) | quadrature | 0%
|
| when earth passes a planet and causes it to look like it's going backwards | retrograde motion | 0%
|
| when inferior planet lines up between earth and sun but is on the opposite side of the sun from the earth | superior conjunction | 0%
|
| planets farther away from sun than earth | superior planets | 0%
