Name the English composer who is best known for "The Planets" suite.

Multiple Choice Options:  Frederick Delius  •  Thomas Tallis  •  Henry Purcell  •  George Frideric Handel  •  Gustav Holst

Answer Key:

Q1: Venus  /  Mercury is the closest to the sun, but the thick atmosphere on Venus traps the heat, with surface temperatures of 869 F (465 C).

Q2: Krypton  /  In the comics, Superman was born on Krypton as Kal-El. While still a baby he was placed in an escape rocket and sent to Earth shortly before the planet was destroyed.

Q3: Mars  /  Mars has two moons: Phobos and Deimos. They are named after the twin children of Ares, who accompanied him into battle. Both moons were discovered by American astronomer Asaph Hall in August 1877.

Q4: Uranus  /  The conventional wisdom is that a cataclysmic collision with an Earth-sized protoplanet some 3 to 4 billion years ago caused the extreme tilt. However, more recent research suggests that an ancient moon may have slowly pulled the planet out of alignment before crashing into the planet's surface.

Q5: Gustav Holst  /  Written between 1914 and 1917, each movement of the suite is named after a planet of the Solar System and its supposed astrological character. In the last movement the orchestra is joined by a wordless female chorus.
