It’s a belt of objects on the outskirts of our solar system that contains a lot of comets and other icy objects.
-
From what I remember, it’s a belt of radiation surrounding our planet.
-
Core; Mantle; Crust.
-
That’s a theory that at one point, long ago, all our continents were adjacent to each other… one big land mass.
-
Why does that sound really familiar? I can’t even think of a guess!
- Correct. +1
- Correct. Specifically, it’s a region of charged particles held by the Earth’s magnetic field. +1
- Correct. +1
- Correct. +1
- Von Neumann architecture describes the basic components and data flow of most modern computers. -1

√15) For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction; What’s in motion, tends to stay in motion?
√16) All orbits are elliptical; and planets will sweep equal areas in equal time, even in an eccentric orbit? (thank god you only said two on this, cuz I really can’t remember the last one!)
ETA: Now that I think about it, I’m not sure if I should get this one. The law states that the planets orbits are elliptical, not all orbits. Then again, I asked for Kepler’s laws of planetary motion so maybe the planet part is implicit. Thoughts?
√17) I think (think) it’s chromium?
?18) Acidic? (wait, are you looking for answers on all three? or are they all of the same group?)
I’m going to give you another shot on this question with the clarification that I’m looking for three answers (one for each chemical.)
X19) Ouch, I’m not sure how to calculate that.
Specific gravity is the ratio of a substance’s density to water’s density. Thus, using 1 g/cm^3 as water’s density as substance with SG=1.3 would just have 1.3 g/cm^3.
√20) 4.
√21) Ganymede, Callisto, Io, and Europa (attempt to landings there).

Almost the exact opposite direction. 
You’re right to think on the ecliptic, but it’s Sagittarius. -1
Close enough that I’ll give it to you/me. It’s a grouping of unrelated stars that’s not one of the 88 “official” constellations. The Big and Little Dippers are technically asterisms, being parts of Ursa Major and Ursa Minor. +1
No, sorry. Titan has an atmosphere thicker than Earth’s. Uranus’ moon Triton has a very thin atmosphere. -1
It is one of the gas giants, but not Uranus. Sauturn has a lower density than water, so if you put it in a bathtub, it would float. It might leave a ring, though. -1
Galle is better known as the “Happy Face crater.” I can’t cut and paste a link to a pic because my computer is screwing up, but it looks like a smiley face, i.e. one of these ----> 
. It had a small part in Alan Moore’s Watchmen.

I think it’s implicit in the question. Take it.
