Name: _________________________Date:_________Period:________ DISCOVERY OF A NEW PLANET! You have been doing a lot of research about our solar system and have discovered a new planet! You want to tell everyone about this new discovery that you made on ________________(date). Since you have made the discovery, it is up to you to name this planet. You have decided to call it ________________ because ___________ ______________________________________. Since you are a hard-working astronomer, you have decided to figure out the radius, diameter, circumference, surface area and volume of all of the planets even though you only have limited knowledge of the other planets. In order to do this, you need to remember the following things: The The The The The Radius Planet Radius radius is _____________________________________ diameter is ___________________________________ Circumference is ______________________________ Surface Area is _______________________________ Volume is ____________________________________ Diameter Mercury Volume 38,003.42 km 6,378.15 km Mars 144,800,000 km Jupiter 142,984 km Saturn Uranus Surface Area 4,880 km Venus Earth Circumference 378,483 km 25,559 km Neptune Pluto 7,703,735,735 km 1471 km With your amazing math skills and a huge telescope, you have discovered that the radius of the new planet is not the smallest planet but it is also not the biggest planet. It is exactly _______________km. You want to be able to compare it to other planets so you figure out the same information about your newly discovered planet. Planet Radius Diameter Circumference Surface Area Volume The new planet has been discovered between ____________________ (planet) and __________________ (planet). It is exactly _____________________ miles away from the sun which is the same as _____________________(scientific notation) and also the same as _________ toilet paper squares (each square is 17,500,000 miles). The first thing that you want to tell people are the three most important characteristics of the planet which are: 1. _______________________________________________________ 2. _______________________________________________________ 3. _______________________________________________________ You already know how far away the planet is from the sun but to help you with your research, you really need to know far your newly discovered planet is from each of the other planets. Remember there are no negative distances. Distance from.... Standard Notation Scientific Notation Toilet Paper Squares Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune Pluto You are so excited about this new discovery, you want to tell everyone about it but you need a picture of your planet. Unfortunately, the camera on your telescope is broken so you will need to draw a picture of your newly discovered planet, making sure to get the shading and colors correct so others will be able to 'see' your planet. Be sure that your planet is the size of a regular sheet of paper so everyone will be able to see it. You want the world to know about your new planet so you decide to write a news article to tell about your planet. Your news article should be exciting and also informative about your new planet. Remember to tell how it compares to other planets. The news article needs to be at least 2 paragraphs long (10 complete sentences). To reach more people, you have decided to release a fun tweet – make it exciting and informative and 140 characters or less.
