	Couple of mistakes here; First, you have to include 'Wrong Answers' by including "ee" in the third column for supplementary answers. Second; The level of difficulty isn't reflected in the amount to win. For example, question 15 is quite easy for someone who has an elementary knowledge of astronomy. I've heard it numerous times. Same can be said of question for 125,000 and a few more...expected tougher questions...anyway, good quiz either way!

	SonyHTCApple:	Aug 1st, 2011 at 12:24 GMT		-3 points
	Thank you very much i appreciate your comment i just wanted to make a good game like you do.

	SonyHTCApple:	Aug 1st, 2011 at 12:57 GMT		-4 points
	i have fixed the wrong answer thing now hope you enjoy and GOOD LUCK!

	oracleofireland:	Aug 1st, 2011 at 12:58 GMT		1 point
	And there's a typo at the top of the page where it says "Can you name the astronomy questions to be a millionare"

	SonyHTCApple:	Aug 1st, 2011 at 13:06 GMT		-1 points
	oh yes should i change it to "Can you ANSWER the astronomy qusetions to be a millionare.

	myb555:	Aug 1st, 2011 at 14:18 GMT		9 points
	you might wanna change the 4,000 question, the Solar System didnt directly form from the big bang, the universe did though!

Comment below threshold: show it

	myb555:	Aug 1st, 2011 at 20:02 GMT		5 points
	Well the Solar System formed from a cloud of dust and gas collapsed on itself. I see what you mean, but really the Big Bang INDIRECTLY formed it. A better answer would be the DIRECT formation.

	SonyHTCApple:	Aug 2nd, 2011 at 10:35 GMT		-3 points
	ok sorry about that i, value your opinion.

	SquadSmith:	Aug 5th, 2011 at 06:47 GMT		0 points
	Good grief, this game will be getting published soon! Nice one Ankit!!!!

	SonyHTCApple:	Aug 5th, 2011 at 08:59 GMT		-1 points
	Thanks James I Hope it does. One day I got 52 plays in 1 day!

	oracleofireland:	Aug 5th, 2011 at 11:12 GMT		7 points
	52 plays? You should really be aiming for 3,000 a day :-)

	SonyHTCApple:	Aug 5th, 2011 at 11:17 GMT		-4 points
	How am I supposed to get 3,000 plays a day. That's just shocking.

	oracleofireland:	Aug 7th, 2011 at 11:24 GMT		4 points
	Yup - the larger quizzes get around 3,000 a day, so it should be every creators ambition :)

	SonyHTCApple:	Aug 7th, 2011 at 11:54 GMT		-1 points
	And also how do i make a quiz with a lot of colomns because it can only make quizzes with 3 colomns joined together for eg. your odd geography quiz how doi make a quiz like that!

	Oli4:	Aug 8th, 2011 at 21:02 GMT		5 points
	The velocity of a satellite depends on its height above the Earth so you can't say "all satellites go around the Earth at this exact speed"

	SonyHTCApple:	Aug 9th, 2011 at 10:30 GMT		-1 points
	Well most of the satellites go round the earth at approximately 17,000 mph most of the time they are orbiting however Oli4 some can orbit at different speeds a you said.

	FatherSnitch:	Aug 10th, 2011 at 17:41 GMT		2 points
	8,000: Perhaps you could specify "geostationary" satellites to address Oli4's point. 125,000: Firstly, it depends on your point of view - if you look from the other direction, it will be anticlockwise! Secondly, all the planets orbit in the same direction. I think you mean which planet has a planetary rotation that is opposite to most of the others. So I think your question should read "Which planet rotates clockwise, as viewed from above its north pole?". Interesting quiz!

	No planet orbits the sun clockwise. Venus and Uranus rotate clockwise, or they are upside down if you prefer. A clockwise orbiting planet in our solar system would be problematic to current scientific understanding, unless it was a captured or otherwise somehow unique planet. Even then, it likely would not be a stable orbit, unlike all of our planets which have been around since the collapse of the solar nebula... ...which brings up the other incorrect answer on this quiz: the solar system was formed from the solar nebula, not the big bang. You could technically say that it was formed from the big bang, but that would be like saying human beings were formed by abiogenesis. There are a few other small points I could make, but it's a good quiz other than those issues. I in fact signed up to Sporcle specifically to make this comment.

	Again, no planet orbits retrograde. You must certainly be thinking of rotation. If you don't believe me or millions of textbooks you can prove it yourself by watching for Venus in the morning/evening sky. If it orbited backwards it would rapidly pass through our sky relative to the background stars in a matter of days, but instead you find it hangs around for a while, seemingly plodding about slowly as our two orbits have similar positions. Venus also exhibits other seemingly erratic behaviour in our sky that is explained by the fact that it is slowly overtaking us in its orbit, like a racecar on the inside track of a course.

	SonyHTCApple:	Sep 1st, 2011 at 07:19 GMT		-4 points
	Now i see you point gpaas but what do you think i should change the question to then as this one will be gone. Please give your opinions.

	gpaas:	Sep 5th, 2011 at 15:49 GMT		5 points
	My opinion is that you have reading comprehension problems. My opinion is that you are not very scientifically inclined if you believe that Venus orbits backwards, since this would be a very difficult and intriguing issue to current solar formation theory. My opinion is that you are either under the age of 13 or not a native English speaker. Those are my views and opinions. They have little effect on reality. The FACT is that Venus orbits the same way as every other planet -- in line with the Sun's rotation, as is predicted by planetary system formation theory.

	gpaas:	Sep 8th, 2011 at 05:29 GMT		2 points
	No further discussion? Like I said, not very scientifically inclined. But anyways, I'm going to go watch Venus overtake us in its orbit. See ya.

	SonyHTCApple:	Oct 1st, 2011 at 19:46 GMT		0 points
	@myb555 if you simply type in solar system facts there will be loads of facts about the sun, the earth etc. And i hope you will find something relevant to you!

	This is a good quiz! i like it! Congrats on over 1,000 plays!

	handlehandle:	Nov 5th, 2011 at 18:03 GMT		6 points
	This is a good attempt, but as several others have pointed out, the quiz has a few errors. The big bang refers to the early state of the universe, long before the formation of our solar system. Different satellites travel at different velocities depending on the radius of their orbit. Venus rotates on its axis in the opposite direction to Earth (but the same way as Uranus), but it orbits the sun in the same direction as all the other planets (I can't find this amazing facts page, but http://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/ask_astro/answers/981026a.html mentions that it is Venus's rotation that is retrograde, not its orbit). Finally, you can't really do any of those things in space without specialist equipment.

	For question five please add what unit of degrees you are referring to.

	Venus DOES NOT orbin clockwise. No planet in our system does.

	IMSTseattle:	Dec 16th, 2011 at 20:39 GMT		2 points
	As others have said, SonyHTCApple, you are not correct that Venus orbits backward. You either do not understand what's going on with Venus or you're not understanding the difference between orbit and rotation. Either way, the question as written is wrong. No planet has a retrograde orbit (the correct way of phrasing this, BTW). Venus rotates backward compared to its orbit.

	tludvik:	Dec 30th, 2011 at 13:07 GMT		3 points
	Venus does not orbit the sun clockwise. It orbits counterclockwise just like the all the other planets. However, it is in retrograde rotation meaning it rotates on its axis 'backwards' in respect to all the other planets rotations.

	The question "Oxygen Covers What Percentage Of The Gases On Earth" should specify it refers to the earth's atmosphere, because oxygen is the most abundant gas in the crust by a long way (well over 50%), and if you take the entire earth I'm not sure, but it's probably more than 21%
