How can an object be considered a planet?
• Planets – bodies that are partly solid or
gaseous that orbit around the sun and are seen
by reflected sunlight
• Satellite – solid bodies that orbits planets (moons)
How do we describe the Inner Planets?
Inner
Planets
separated
intoare
two
planets
• Small
size The Planets are Inner
groups, the Inner and Outercalled
planets.
Mercury,
Terrestrial
• Rocky composition (mostly
Venus,

solid) Earth, and Mars, are the closest
to the sun. These four planets are small and
• Closer to the sun
mostly solid with a rocky composition. These
– short period of revolution
planets are very dense. This group of planets is
• Slow as

(longer day)
known
the Terrestrial
Planets.
How do we describe the Outer Planets?

known
• Gas Planets

as
the Jovian
Planets. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus,
• Large
size – Giants
and Neptune are the farthest planets to the sun.
• Farthest from the sun (long period of revolution)
These four planets are giants and composed of
• Fast

gas.
These
planets are less dense.
Outer
planets
are called
Jovian
Planets
How do we interpret the Solar System Data Chart?

Summary Activity
Write the statements that describe the differences between the Terrestrial and Jovian Planets in
the outer circles. Write the statements that describe the similarities in the inner circle.
Terrestrial Planets
•Small Diameter
•Large Diameter
•Rotate on an
axis
•Long Period of
Revolution
•Orbits around
the sun
•Gaseous
Composition
•Short Period of
Revolution
•Rocky
Composition
Jovian Planets
•More Dense
•Less Dense
Extra Questions
1. From the diagram, Name only the
terrestrial planets.
2. From the diagram, Name the planet
with the lowest density.
3. How many times larger is the diameter
of Sun than the diameter of Jupiter?

I Love his blue color.
He is the coolest!
Jupiter
He has his red eye on
me!
I love to have pictures taken of me and I love

Saturn: Hey Jupiter how's
the weather
Jupiter: Its pretty cold out
you might want to wear a

Saturn: Yeah I will catch
up with you, meet you
there!!!!
