OK I have looked till I am crosseyed.
I have three quiz questions that have me stumped and I admit I need help please.

8 What relation was Louis XV of France to Louis XIV?
Son Nephew Grandson Great-grandson


9 What kind of animal is named after the botanist Peter Pallas?
Deer Monkey Cat Goat

12 The Earth has a surface area how many times greater than the Moon's?
4 5 6 8 10 12

Thanks in advance for the help.

#8. Great-grandson. (Louis XIV's eldest son, the "Grand Dauphin" died in 1711, and the Grand Dauphin's son, Louis de Bourgogne, died in 1712, leaving Louis de Bourgogne's son to succeed Louis XIV, who lived on till 1714. (Confirmed in the Petit Larousse).

#9. Pallas's cat, also known as the manul. It lives in the Russian steppes. You can see it here.

I keep finding an answer for Q12 that isn't on your list of possibilities... The surface area of the moon is 14,658,000 sq miles, that of the earth 196,879,339 sq miles. That means that the earth's surface is 13.5 times the surface of the moon.

[edited to add:]
The formula for the surface area of a sphere is 4*pi*r^2. Since you're comparing two area's, you can leave out the 4*pi, so you end up comparing the square radius.
The moon's diameter is 3480 km, that makes it's radius 1740 km. The earth's diameter is 12,750 km, giving a 6375 km radius. If you calculate (6375*6375)/(1740*1740) it will lead to the answer 13.4233799.

[edited a second time to correct a typo]

Tabby Tom and Leau78,
Thank you both for the help. I am afraid that math went over my head Leau but thanks for the info.
I will have to keep looking I guess it is out there somewhere.
