Solar System Feature Link This short activity is intended to help gauge existing knowledge about the eight planets in the solar system. Learning Objectives 1. To be able to group the planets into what they are made of be that rock, gas or ice. 2. To recognise that Earth is unique in its possession of life in the Solar System. 3. To understand that many planets have features on them not visible from Earth. Learning Experiences SCN 2-06a SCN 3-06a Solar System Feature Link Join up features that can be found on these planets in the Solar System Rocky Planet Mercury Ice Giant Venus Gas Giant Earth Moons Mars Rings Jupiter Volcanos Saturn Weather Uranus Life Neptune Solar System Feature Link Answers Solar System Feature Link Answers II One of our favourite facts is that all the giant planets have rings. Not only that, but Neptune’s rings are broken up and are known as “arcs”. The scientific name for a rocky planet is “terrestrial planet”. For older groups, ask why the Earth is the only planet which can have life. Earth is the only planet in the habitable (or Goldilocks) zone where it is not too hot or cold for liquid water (the key to life), but just right.
