Ray 3 years ago 10912 a couple of lucky guesses. Becca 3 years ago Missed 2/12; lucky guesses or just paying attention. Still lobbying to get Pluto back into the rotation! Changing the rules isn’t fair after so many years in the solar planet system…just saying! Walt 3 years ago What? There’s only seven planets now??? Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus is eight by my count! Rich D 3 years ago 10/12 Definitely not 7 planets. Who writes this stuff? Terrence Gallagher 3 years ago Go ahead, Google [or any other search engine] it…. there are EIGHT planets in our Solar System. Elton Yancey 3 years ago Name the 7 planets.I didn’t one got lost. Patty L 3 years ago 9/12…. I’m glad to see that other people thought they were 8 planets instead of 7. What other planet has been declassified besides Pluto? I already miss Pluto! ): Sherry Ware 3 years ago 7/12 Not very good. I knew about Pluto losing planet status, what’s the other one? Who makes these puzzles? Fact checking and proofreading might be in order. Just saying. Broccoli Free Zone 3 years ago When I was in school, we had NINE planets. They have dummied school down so much we now have 7? I guess Pluto is too hard for kids to spell nowadays. It seems all they know is 4 letter words. mary moore 3 years ago 10/12 but I strongly protest one they considered incorrect. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto – those are my planets…even if you don’t consider Pluto a planet anymore, I don’t see how they get 7..had never heard of a bolide before…learn something new every day 🙂 Anna A 3 years ago I always thought that a fireball was a asteroid that entered our atmosphere, turning it into a meteor or meteorite. I also agree with the number of planets being wrong. Steven 3 years ago 10/12 Not too shabby for an Earthling. Jim Shedd 3 years ago Mostly lucky guesses since I’ve forgotten or never knew most of it but 9/12. Thought it’d really go bad since I missed the first one. M KING 3 years ago AMAC, your Space Quiz is compromised, i.e. question number 1: the answer of 7 planets in “the solar system.” You may have a mole-Democrat-saboteur on your payroll, or your electronic files have been hacked by an outsider. If excellence is a goal for AMAC, I can’t believe AMAC would be so careless to have the “woke” answer of 7 instead of THE CORRECT TOTAL NUMBER OF PLANETS BEING 8 for the solar system WE live in. I want a response as to why this is going on. This has happened before: i.e. a puzzle’s answer about state population ranking. Let’s also include other puzzle answer errors I’m not aware of (but you are) in the past. Your credibility is at stake. Are your articles fouled also? [Submitted 02-26-2021] David Hebert 3 years ago There are 8 planets not 7. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Neptune, Uranus Ruth Griffin 3 years ago While working in a private school we sang the “planet song” it sang of????” nine planets fine planets in our solar system” ???? this was 18 years ago . Did we lose a couple planets somewhere? Gary L Daughtry 3 years ago When and where did the 8th planet go? I knew that Pluto had been canceled. Has earth now been canceled? David Rohr 3 years ago So I got the one wrong on number of planets and picked the wrong one of two identical answers on what NASA stands for. Who proof-read this test? Linda 3 years ago My very excellent mother just served us nachos – since we can’t have nine pizzas any more. Poor Pluto…you were too small to be considered a ‘real’ planet, but you ARE a real planet, a dwarf planet! They should ask, “How many major planets are there in our solar system?” EIGHT Jerry Hayes 3 years ago Question one is wrong. There are actually 8 planets in our solar system not 7. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. ROBERT 3 years ago So…. there are 7 (?) planets, and I can name all 8. April 3 years ago Must have got that answer from the Democratic science. There are 8. When I went to school there were 9 , but poor Pluto got downgraded. T. Anderson 3 years ago I9 of 12….thought I would guess better than that. Nancy Gibson 3 years ago The number of planets is wrong, unless The Earth was left out. Lana 3 years ago 9 of 12, also. Agree on the planets. Don 3 years ago They need some fact checkers on this one Susan P 3 years ago Tricky questions. One planet got demoted to a dwarf. They don’t really know how many rings are around Saturn and the number of current moons in our solar system is in dispute. Still, I got 8 out of 12 correct according to the “expected” answers. Byron 3 years ago Did I miss hearing about Mercury falling into the sun, or something?! Also, if you meant “7,100”, why did you type “71,00”? Or did you mean “71,000”? Having trouble finding a 6th grade graduate to produce these quizzes??? Evelyn Billings 3 years ago There are eight planets in our Solar System. Steve 3 years ago The answer to #1 is incorrect. There are eight planets. Daniela DiSoco 3 years ago I got 10/12, & I’m only 8! Daniela DiSoco 3 years ago Exept that the 1st question I added my own point. The answer is * planets. Daniela DiSoco 3 years ago I meant 8 Daniela DiSoco 3 years ago My little sister helped. Daniela DiSoco 3 years ago Queistion 1.Is incorect. John & Gail 3 years ago Whoever is writing the quiz questions should be reassigned. It isn’t the first time an incorrect answer is claimed to be correct! Ann 3 years ago There are 8 planets in the solar system, 9 if you count Pluto. So the answer of 7 to #1 is incorrect! Barb 3 years ago For me there will always be 9 planets! Rick 3 years ago Come on, AMAC! I love the games and quizzes, but please, someone needs to check them before they’re published. I suspect the question was supposed to be “How many planets are there besides the earth?” And surely you can find someone who can center the circles on the differences puzzles better! And someone who understands that word jumbles don’t have letters circled in the answer word! Thanks. C, Turco 3 years ago 11/12 with the one wrong being the obvious one that AMAC got wrong. Bob Wippermann 3 years ago Question # 1 to me is nine. Pluto was a planet, then wasn’t, then was classified as a planetiod (a small planet) and what’s the word after ” small” I believe it’s planet. I mixed up asteroid and metoriod so 10/12. Bob Wippermann 3 years ago Oh and the survey, should have been all of the above. Dan 3 years ago 7 PLANETS? slymet 3 years ago I got 11 out of 12 and plenty were guesses. I missed the first question. I thought there were eight planets. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. that adds up to eight. What am I not understanding? Lonnie Paulson 3 years ago You asked how many planets there are in our the solar system. Your answer is wrong. You said seven. There are eight, there used to be nine with Pluto, but the International Astronomical Union voted to kick Pluto out as a Planet. The eight planets in our solar system are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
