Question

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
question 2
how is pluto different from the craters near the
south pole of the moon?
a. plutos temperature is 400 degrees below
zero.
b. pluto is being mapped by scientists at
nasa.
c. pluto was found by the lunar
reconnaissance orbiter.
d. pluto gets some direct sunlight.

Explanation:

The text states that the cold lunar craters are shadowed from the sun, while Pluto gets some direct sunlight. This directly relates to option D.

Answer:

D. Pluto gets some direct sunlight.
