Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
1.

The moon is less brighter than the sun.

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
2.

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

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
3.

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

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
4.

Pluto is also smaller than any planet.

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
5.

Jupiter is the most largest planet.

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
6.

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

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
7.

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

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
8.

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

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
9.

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

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
10.

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

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
11.

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

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
12.

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

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
13.

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

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
14.

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

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
15.

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.

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
16.

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

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
17.

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

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
18.

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

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
19.

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

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
20.

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

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
21.

The most brightest of all stars are supernovas.

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
22.

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

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
23.

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

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
24.

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

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
25.

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

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
26.

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

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
27.

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

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
28.

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

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
29.

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

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
30.

Yellow stars, like our sun, are cooler than stars that are white or blue-white.
