8th Grade Science Test 1.3 & 1.5 Review

Guys, make sure you are able to:
-LABEL the parts of the sun, which you will then be required to MATCH them with each one's definition.
-Make sure you are able to FULFILL the objectives (which deal with light years, the inverse square law, binary stars, the star dealing with absolute magnitude, and the difference between novas and supernovas).
- Finally, you will be required to MATCH the characteristics of the planet it corresponds to. Most planets will have at least 2 characteristics to match.One of these will deal with Earth (though it will be a VERY obvious one), and another with the planetoid Pluto (which, again, will be very easy).

Good luck!
