QuizSpace quiz questions with answers
Thirty questions about the solar system, stars and space travel, including India's own missions. Mission dates are fixed history, so the answers will not change.

- Which planet is known as the Red Planet?
- Which is the largest planet in the solar system?

- What is the name of India's series of missions to the Moon?

Tricky round
Ten harder questions. Give double points here if you like a dramatic finish.

Who this topic suits
Space suits curious players of about eight and above: the planets, the Moon, the Sun and stars, astronauts, and missions including India's. It is a favourite of school science weeks and of children who have just discovered the night sky. The Easy round needs only what a primary school book teaches about the solar system.
Hosting tips
Space is a topic in which knowledge moves forward: new missions are launched, and counts such as the number of known moons change as discoveries are made. The questions keep to settled facts, and the note under each answer gives the context. For an evening quiz, finish by stepping outside and finding the Moon or a bright planet; nothing fixes a fact like seeing the real thing. This topic pairs well with the Science rounds for a longer contest.
