If you want to write grammatically correct English, alc24, you cannot neglect proper punctuation and capitalization. That is an extremely bad habit to get into.

I have made corrections and comments inside the quote:

alc24Are the following questions grammatically correct?

1. How many degrees are (there) in a right angle?
2. What continent is Canada a part of~~/on~~? / What continent is Canada on?
3. Every how many years are the olympics (held)?
4. What country has the biggest population?
5. How many planets are (there) in the solar system?
6. What's the population of the world approximately?
7. How many weeks are (there) in a year?

8. What is that referred to as? --> This basically means "What is that called?"

What is was that referred as? --> The meaning this suggests to me is the following:
What is the special name you assigned to X when you referred/sent it to me?

Not only is is a bad habit, but correct punctuation is part of correct grammar. None of the sentences are acceptable in formal writing, since none of them have proper punctuation.

e.e. cummings can be excused, since his poetry was also a visual art form.
