PART 1 of 2
DIRECTIONS:
1. Identify any double or incomplete comparisons. (15 points)
          *You may only put EXACTLY two or three words in each box for your answer.

Required

The moon is less brighter than the sun.

Required

The sun is the most brightest object in our solar system.

Required

It even reflects off Pluto, which is farther away than any planet.

Required

Pluto is also smaller than any planet.

Required

Jupiter is the most largest planet.

Required

Earth is the most largest of all the rocky inner planets.

Required

The inner planets are less gassier than the outer planets, which are mostly gas.

Required

Since all the planets were formed at about the same time, it is hard to say which ones are more older than the others.

Required

Venus has a thick atmosphere that is more poisonous than Earth.

Required

On the other hand, Mars has a more thinner atmosphere than Earth’s atmosphere.

Required

The most loveliest sights in the solar system are the ring systems around some of the planets.

Required

Of all the planets, Saturn has the most extensivest system of rings.

Required

Because they are so large, Saturn’s rings reflect more sunlight and are more shinier than the rings of Jupiter.

Required

Our moon looks bright to us because it is much more closer to Earth than the stars.

Required

Saturn has the most moons of any planet.

PART 2 of 2
DIRECTIONS:
1. TEN of the sentences are incorrect. Write the correct form of each double or incomplete 
comparison in the box. (10 points)
          *The comparison has been underlined for you.

2. FIVE of the sentences are correct. Write none in the box for those sentences. (5 points)
          *The comparison has been underlined for you.

Required

The sun is smaller and less hotter than many other stars.

Required

The sun is, of course, the most closest to Earth of all stars.

Required

Even though the star Proxima Centauri is 4.3 light years away from our sun, it is still closer than any star.

Required

Astronomers have learned how to tell which stars are more farther away than other stars.

Required

If several stars have the same magnitude, or true brightness, the star that is the most faintest is the farthest away.

Required

The most brightest of all stars are supernovas.

Required

These are huge stars that explode at the end of their lives, and shine brighter than anything else around them for many months.

Required

After a supernova explodes, the remaining matter falls inward to become the most densest of all stars, a neutron star.

Required

Even though a neutron star is small, its dense makeup makes it heavier than any other star.

Required

Some supernovas collapse inward to form a black hole, where the gravity is stronger than that of other stars.

Required

The sun can never be a supernova, because such a star must be much more massive than the mass of our sun.

Required

The sun will expand and become a red giant eventually, and its surface temperature will become more lower than its temperature at present.

Required

As the sun expands, in several billion years, the surface of Earth will become the most hottest it has ever been.

Required

Star color is one way astronomers can tell which stars are the hottest and the most coolest.
