One in four Americans don't know the earth circles the sun
The survey included more than 2,200 people in the United States and was conducted by the National Science Foundation.
Nine questions about physical and biological science were on the quiz, and the average score - 6.5 correct - was barely a passing grade.
Just 74 per cent of respondents knew that the earth revolved around the sun, according to the results released at the American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting in Chicago.
Fewer than half (48 percent) knew that human beings evolved from earlier species of animals.
How many of these people vote? And for which party?
