You will answer questions like What type of shape do the planet orbits have? or Which planet is closest in size to Earth?, so it is a good fit if you are getting comfortable with the planets and how they move.

One question that trips people up asks which planet is actually closest to Earth, since the answer is not always the one you would expect.

Another touches on which planet looks brightest from our night sky, which surprises a lot of new stargazers.
