7/11...can't believe I got the first one right. I had the temperature of Venus right and then second guessed myself. Great Quiz!!!

Very good quiz!!! I love astronomy. However, I would disagree with the answer to number 7. With what we know today, temperatures CAN get up to 484C, but the AVERAGE temperature (per the question) is in the 440C-450C range. Good job - I hope to see more!

8/11. And I thought Uranus had a longer day, too!

I guessed most and got a C. The only ones I knew were the gods they were named after.

I only got a C. I used to know a lot about the universe, but I don't any more. Bummer! A good quiz, nevertheless.
