Example solar system quiz questions

Which planet is the largest in the solar system?Jupiter. It has more than twice the mass of all the other planets combined.

True or false: Venus rotates in the opposite direction to most planets.True. Venus spins retrograde, so the Sun rises in the west there.

What is the approximate length of one Earth year?About 365.25 days, which is why leap years are needed to keep the calendar aligned.

Which object holds about 99.8% of the solar system's mass?The Sun. Nearly all the mass is in the Sun, and the planets make up the rest.

Why was Pluto reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006?It has not cleared its orbital neighborhood of other debris, which full planet status requires.

Multiple choice, true/false and short answer

Pick the question format that fits the material. Each question comes with an explanation of why the correct answer is right.

Flashcards and mind maps too

The same material can become spaced repetition flashcards or a mind map, so you can switch study methods without re-uploading.

Works from text and files

Upload PDF, DOCX or PPTX files, paste plain text, or add a photo of a page that is read with text recognition.

How it works

Copy the transcript or notes

Grab the video's transcript or type out your own notes. DeckOwl works from text, so the transcript is the starting point.

Paste or upload

Add the text to DeckOwl as pasted text or as a file. Choose multiple choice, true/false or short answer.

Study and check the explanations

Answer the questions, read the explanation for each one, and export to Anki or PDF if you have a Plus plan.

DeckOwl does not pull captions straight from a YouTube link, so copy the transcript or your notes into the upload box first. Questions come out as multiple choice, true/false or short answer, and each explanation tells you why the answer is right.

Free accounts get 3 generations per month and study in the browser. Plus adds unlimited generations with PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for course platforms.

Frequently asked questions

How many quiz questions should I make from one video?

Aim for enough questions to cover each main idea at least once. Then add more for the ideas you missed on the first attempt.

How do I study solar system facts most effectively?

Quiz yourself before rereading, then review the same questions over several days so they stick. After a wrong answer, read the explanation, since the reason matters more than the option you picked.

Can DeckOwl pull captions directly from a YouTube link?

Input is limited to uploaded files, pasted text and images, so copy the transcript or your notes first.

Which export formats are included?

Free accounts study in the browser without exports. Plus includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.
