Grade 5 Science · Space Systems
Build Grade 5 Science skills with five 10-question practice tests on the solar system, gravity, orbits, day and night, Moon phases, seasons, planets, and models.
These Grade 5 Science practice tests help students identify objects and patterns in space. Students study the Sun, planets, moons, asteroids, gravity, orbits, rotation, revolution, day and night, Moon phases, seasons, and models of the solar system.
Focus on motion and position. Ask which object is rotating or revolving, where sunlight is coming from, and how gravity connects the objects in the system.

Correct answer: D
The correct answer is Rocky objects that orbit the Sun..
Asteroids are smaller rocky bodies that travel through space, many in the asteroid belt.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: A
The correct answer is Ice, dust, and rock that orbit the Sun..
Comets contain frozen materials and dust; sunlight can create a visible tail near the Sun.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: B
The correct answer is Solar energy warms its ice and solar wind pushes released gas and dust away from the Sun..
Heating and solar wind can produce and push the visible coma and tail.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: C
The correct answer is A telescope.
Telescopes collect and magnify light or other signals from distant objects.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: D
The correct answer is Actual distances and sizes are too large to show together at full scale..
Scale models represent very large size and distance relationships in a manageable form.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: A
The correct answer is Measurements of size, distance, temperature, atmosphere, and surface features..
Measured properties provide evidence for comparing planets and classifying them.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: B
The correct answer is Objects move and interact through gravity, light, energy, and repeating patterns..
Space science uses patterns of motion and interactions to explain systems.
Rotation is the spinning of an object around its axis, while revolution is movement around another object.
Moon phases are caused by the changing positions of the Sun, Moon, and Earth and the part of the Moon illuminated toward Earth.
