  1. HOW DO PLANETS COMPARE IN SIZE WITH THE SUN? To learn about the planets of our solar system. Objective:

  2. RESEARCH: listed in order from the sun: Mercury: Tiny, cratered, no atmosphere, no satellites,hot.

  3. Venus: Earth’s twin in size and mass, clouds that trap heat (hottest planet), volcanoes, no satellites.

  4. Mercury and Venus

  5. atmosphere of O2, 1 satellite (moon), water, moderate temps. Earth:

  6. Mars: 2 satellites, thin atmosphere (cold), red soil (iron), dormant volcanoes.

  7. ASTEROID BELT: separates inner and outer planets.

  8. Jupiter: 20+ satellites including the 4 Gallilean moons, Great Red Spot (storm), largest, cloud cover, dusty rings.

  9. Saturn: 20+ satellites, rings are 100 ft. thick, one moon (Triton) has N2-based atmosphere.

  10. Jupiter and Saturn

  11. Uranus: 15+ satellites, 90o tilt, rings.

  12. Neptune: 8 satellites, Great Dark Spot, rings.

  13. Uranus and Neptune

  14. Pluto: 1 satellites, frozen water and methane.
