The database is science-oriented 2. It should have seven (7) records 3. It should have five (5) sets of fields Then, create the corresponding database structure manually Sample Science-Oriented Database PLANETS OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM Planet Description Distance the sun from closest planet to the sun and the eighth largest Mercury 57,910,000 km Diameter Name Origin 4,880 km In Roman mythology Mercury is the god of commerce, travel and thievery, the Roman counterpart of the Greek god Hermes, the messenger of the Gods. The planet probably received this name because it moves so quickly across the sky. Venus is the second planet from the sun and the sixth largest. Venus Earth 108,200,000 km Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the fifth largest: 149,600,000 km 12,103.6 km 12,756.3 km Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and the seventh largest: Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus 227,940,000 km Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and by far the largest. Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second largest Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun, the third-largest, and the fourth most massive planet in the Solar System Prepared by: Mrs. Toni Camille Cabanela-Vidal 6,794 km 778,330,000 km 142,984 km 1,429,400,000 km 120,536 km 3,004,419,704 km 51,118 km Venus (Greek: Aphrodite; Babylonian: Ishtar) is the goddess of love and beauty. The planet is so named probably because it is the brightest of the planets known to the ancients. (With a few exceptions, the surface features on Venus are named for female figures.) Earth is the only planet whose English name does not derive from Greek/Roman mythology. The name derives from Old English and Germanic Mars (Greek: Ares) is the god of War. The planet probably got this name due to its red color; Mars is sometimes referred to as the Red Planet. (An interesting side note: the Roman god Mars was a god of agriculture before becoming associated with the Greek Ares; those in favor of colonizing and terraforming Mars may prefer this symbolism.) Jupiter (a.k.a. Jove; Greek Zeus) was the King of the Gods, the ruler of Olympus and the patron of the Roman state. Zeus was the son of Cronus (Saturn). In Roman mythology, Saturn is the god of agriculture. The associated Greek god, Cronus, was the son of Uranus and Gaia and the father of Zeus (Jupiter). Uranus is named after the ancient Greek deity of the sky Uranus (Ancient Greek: Οὐρανός) the father of Kronos (Saturn) and grandfather of Zeus (Jupiter). Page 2
