the cold, cold moon
physical science studies: energy interactions
where are the coldest
known places in our solar
system? theyre not in
antarctica on planet
earth. theyre not even on
far - away pluto. the
coldest spots are near
the south pole of our
moon. they are deep
inside cup - shaped holes,
these holes, or craters,
are shadowed from the
sun.
temperatures in these
lunar craters were measured at about 400 degrees below
zero fahrenheit (240 degrees below zero celsius). thats
colder than pluto. and its billions of miles away from the
sun. pluto gets some direct sunlight. the cold spots on the
moon do not. most are found in craters that are within
photo credit and all related images

this picture shows the south pole of
the moon. scientists found the
coldest known places in the solar
system on our moon.
question 8
8/8

a. parts of the solar system may be even
colder than the moon.
b. scientists want to make a temperature map
of pluto.
c. nasa discovered the coldest known places
the solar system.
d. the lro is gathering information about the
moons surface.

Explanation:

• Option A: The text mentions that the cold spots on the moon are colder than Pluto, and implies there could be colder parts in the solar system.
• Option C: The text states "Scientists found the coldest known places in the solar system on our moon", and NASA is a space agency that funds scientific research (it's reasonable to assume the scientists here could be NASA - affiliated or the discovery is related to NASA's work).
• Option D: The LRO (Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter) is likely involved in gathering information about the moon's surface as part of lunar studies.
• Option B: There is no mention in the given text about scientists wanting to make a temperature map of Pluto.

Answer:

B. Scientists want to make a temperature map of Pluto.
