Aim: How do we differentiate between the inner and outer planets? Do Now: Regents Worksheet Homework: Planet Facebook Did Yakko, Wakko, and Dot name the order of the planets correctly? My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nachos 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, Planetsplanets 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 Rotation (longer day) known the Terrestrial Planets. How do we describe the Outer Planets? Outer The(mostly four outer planetsand arehelium) known • Gas Planets composition hydrogen 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 Rotation gas. These planets are less dense. Outer planets are called Jovian Planets How do we interpret the Solar System Data Chart? Asteroid Belt •Venus – only that rotatesgravitational from& East topull West •Jupiter– •Asteroid Largest belt-planet located Planet, between strong Mars Jupiter - separates -Terrestrial rate–ofLeast rotation is slower rate revolution •Saturn the and dense Jovian planet planets –than float (~503 on of water million km) (its day is longer than its year) 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?

Tolkien Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star Friends (7) Neptune 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 to Hula Hoop Saturn: Hey Jupiter how's the weather Jupiter: Its pretty cold out you might want to wear a jacket. Are you coming to the movies, Haley’s comet will be passing by. Saturn: Yeah I will catch up with you, meet you there!!!!
