Warm-up: What is a
system?
Standard- 6-8 ES1B
Earth is the third planet from the
sun in a system that includes the
Moon, the Sun, seven other major
planets and their moons, and
smaller objects such as asteroids,
plutoids, and comets. These bodies
differ in many characteristics (e.g.
size, composition, relative position).
I can: list characteristics our solar
system.

Standard-Gravity is the
force that keeps planets in orbit
around the Sun and governs the
rest of the motion in the Solar
System. Gravity alone holds us to
the Earth's surface.
I can: list characteristics of all
planets in our solar system.
