As we’ve discussed in class, Jupiter’s moon Io sometimes has a sulfur dioxide atmosphere. When Io passes into Jupiter’s shadow, the sulfur dioxide condenses onto Io’s surface into ice crystals. When it emerges out of the shadow and back into the sunlight, the ice crystals sublimate back into gas. Using this information, rank the following four distances from closest to the Sun, to furthest from the Sun. Match each distance with its position using the ranking below: Closest to the Sun — Position 1 — Position 2 — Position 3 — Position 4 — Furthest from the Sun

Imagine two hypothetical Earth-sized terrestrial planets, Planet A and Planet B, that both possessed an outgassed atmosphere 1 billion years after the birth of the Solar System (recall that the Solar System today is 4.5 billion years old). Given their identical radii, their amounts of vulcanism were the same. Planet A has kept its atmosphere to the present day, while Planet B has lost it, due to the atmospheric gas escaping to space. Which of the following statements could explain the discrepancy? [circle all that apply]

Many astronomers believe that an impact was responsible for the creation of Earth’s moon. This impact would have removed part of the outer layer of Earth, which then formed into a separate mass (that we call the Moon). We currently believe this happened after the differentiation of Earth. Would the density of the Moon be different if the impact had occurred before differentiation?

To ensure academic integrity, you must now present to the camera the following: Each piece of scrap paper (both the front and the back). Your scrap paper must be blank. The calculator you will use for the assessment, if any. It is strongly recommended that you use a financial calculator for this course, but you may use any non-graphing or non-programmable calculators, such as a basic or scientific calculator. Failure to perform this task may result in the loss of points and a potential academic honor violation. By selecting “True” below, you certify that you have completed the above procedures.
