  4. Dwarf Planets Pluto and Eris are both dwarf planets. Eris is larger than Pluto. Eris was discovered in 2005 and Pluto was discovered in 1930.

  5. Earth’s Surface Another name for Earth is Gaea.

  6. Earth’s Oceans • Earth has five oceans: Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Southern, and Arctic. The Pacific Ocean is the largest ocean and the Arctic Ocean is the smallest ocean. • An ocean is a large body of water and it is the largest division of open water. A sea is a division of an ocean. • The North Pole contains the largest ice cap. If both of the poles melted, the sea level would rise 216 feet. About 70% of Earth’s freshwater are in both polar caps together.

  7. Earth’s continents • Earth has seven continents. North America’s highest mountain is Mount McKinley. South America’s longest river is the Amazon River. Africa’s longest river is the Nile River. Asia’s highest mountain is Mount Everest. Europe’s longest river is the Volga River. Australia’s highest mountain is Mount Kosciusko. Antarctica’s highest mountains is Vinson Massif.

  8. Grand Canyon • The Grand Canyon is located in Arizona. • It was formed by the erosion of water and wind. • It is 6,000 feet deep and 18 miles wide.

  9. Surface of Mars • Mars is called the Red Planet because of iron rich rocks on its surface. • It has no continents because of no water on its surface. This also means there are no oceans on mars. • The southern half of mars is covered in craters and the northern half is covered with lava-filled plains. • The highest mountain on mars is Olympus Mons, it is three times higher than Mount Everest. • Mars polar ice caps are made up of Martian air that freezes during winter. • The topography of Mars and Earth is similar. They both have mountains, water, and canyons. • The largest canyon on Mars is Valles Marineris. It is 3,000 kilometers long and the Grand Canyon is only 800 kilometers long.

  10. Curiosity and Mars • Curiosity discovered that Mars lacks methane, found water, and organic compounds in a rock. • Curiosity is the size of a small SUV, it travels 660 feet per day, and it costs 2.5 billion dollars.
