Terrestrial Planets
What it would be like to walk on its surface
Slight bounce to your step (lighter). Sun would
get larger s the day goes on due to the slow
rotation.
Weather
None- no
atmosphere
Topography- surface features
Scarps- long cliffs
Planet is shrinking
Caloris Basin- largest impact crater
Weird terrain- jumbled hills
Huge iron core
Venus
Feel very heavy due to pressure. Hard to
move around.
Pancake volcanos (flat volcanos)
Mount Maxwell- taller than Everest
Mostly flat with two huge mountain
areas
Coronae- cracks in the surface
Earth
Like walking to class.
Always cloudy
Carbon
Dioxide
atmosphere
Sulfuric acid
clouds, little
wind on the
surface.
Variable, can
be extreme or
mild.
Mars
Slight bounce to your step (lighter). Very
dusty, but easy to move around.
Dust devils
Global wind
storms. Little
Olympus Mons- largest mountain
Valles Marineris- deepest canyon
Very flat in the northern hemisphere
Mercury
Plate tectonics
Water in triple state
Life
Polar caps
Aurora- strong magnetic field
pressure to do
much damage
however. Thin
atmosphere
very steep in the southern
hemisphere.
Polar ice caps
Once had liquid water on surface
