Planetary Travel Poster Layout Example Title History and Discovery Who discovered the planet and when. Planet’s name, who named it, and what the name means. Planetary Data Diameter, average distance from the Sun, mass, surface gravity, average temperature, length of sidereal day, length of year, # of moons Planet Structure Diagram of the interior, surface features (if terrestrial), comosition of gases is gaseous Motion Orbit and rotation Mission Timeline Create a timeline listing all missions/visits to your planet/moon, the objective of the mission and what was learned. Other 5 facts and two test questions about your planet/moon Comparison to Earth Composition and conditions of the atmosphere, weather/storms, volcanoes, earthquakes or other conditions similar to or unique from Earth Planet Travel Poster Rubric Topic Description History Planet’s name, who named it, and what the name means.
