Multiple ChoiceAccording to the Big Bang Theory, which graph best represents the relationship between time and the size of the universe from the beginning of the universe to the present?Size decreasing as time increasesSize and time both increasingSize does not change as time increasesSize increases, then decreases as time increases
- 13. Multiple ChoiceWhich of the following is NOT evidence of the Big Bang Theory?Abundance of Hydrogen and HeliumCMBR everywhereStars that are blue shiftedthe universe is getting bigger
- 14. Multiple ChoiceWhich statement best describes the age of our solar system and universe?Our solar system and the universe are estimated to be 5 billion years old.Our solar system and the universe are estimated to be 10 billion years old.Our solar system is at least twice as old as the universe.The universe is roughly 13.7 billion years old.
- 15. Multiple ChoiceWhich of the following is the best description of the Big Bang Theory?The Big Bang Theory is the prevailing model about the universe’s origin and is supported by observations of the universe’s expansion.The Big Bang Theory is just one of the ideas about the universe’s origin, many of which are equally respected by the scientific community.The Big Bang Theory states that pre-existing matter was compacted into a hot and dense form and suddenly exploded into infinite, empty space.The Big Bang Theory is the scientific explanation of how the Sun, Earth, and the rest of the Solar System were formed at the beginning of time.
