Question
What do we call a group of stars that
appear to be together, but are not?
(Some may be closer or farther from
us.)
A special group of constellations that
extend out from Earth's equator -sometimes forming outlines in the
sky.
How far can light energy travel in
one year?
In space we measure speed and
distance relative to how far light
energy can travel in one year. We call
this a: ______________
Absolute magnitude tell us how much
light is given off by a star.
Apparent magnitude tells us how
bright a star appears to be due to
how far or close it is.
A large group of stars that are held
together by gravity are called a
__________________.
"Inner Planets" are called 'inner'
because they have a rocky core.
This planet has daytime
temperatures of over 800 degrees F!
Mercury does NOT have any
atmosphere at all.
This planet is called Earth's "sister
planet" because it is similar in size.
This planet has an atmospheric
pressure 90 times greater than
Earth's.
These two planets have a retrograde
rotation.

This planet takes more than one
Earth year to rotate. That's a LONG
day!
Earth is the only inner planet to have
a moon.
This planet is mostly covered with
water, and has an atmosphere which
is 78% Nitrogen and 21% oxygen.
This planet is about half the size of
Earth, and about 1.5 times farther
from the sun.
The surface of the planet is rich in
iron ore, which is slowly oxidizing,
which causes it to have a red color.

giants.
All the gas giants, even though they
are made mostly of gases, are likely
to have a rocky (or solid) core.
Gas giants do NOT have solid
surfaces.
This gas giant is the largest planet -about 300 times the mass of Earth.
This gas giant has the fastest
rotation -- about 0.41% relative to
Earth.
All the gas giants have rings; it isn't
just Saturn.
This gas giant has a Great Red Spot,
which is a giant storm, that is twice
as big as Earth.
This planet is almost ten times the
size of Earth, and almost ten times
as far away from the sun, relative to
Earth.
The two main elements that make up
the gas giants are Helium and
Hydrogen.
This is the second largest planet in
our solar system, with 25 moons.
This planet has the lowest density of
all. If we had a giant glass of water
and placed this planet inside, it
would actually float in the water!!
The rings of Saturn are made mostly
of rock, methane, Helium, and
Hydrogen.
This planet is about 4 times the size
of Earth (which makes it one of the
smaller gas giants) and 19 times
farther from the sun, relative to
Earth.
The surface of this planet is made up
of clouds of blue-green ice crystals of
methane and rock.
This gas giant has a retrograde
rotation. It is one of two planets that
have this characteristic.
This is the only planet in our solar
system to rotate on its side (relative
to Earth and all the other planets in
our solar system).
This gas giant is only about 4 times
the size of Earth, but 30 times
farther from the sun (relative to
Earth).
The composition of this planet is
pretty much the same as that of
Uranus.
All of the gas giants are unsuitable
for life, as we know it.
Pluto has an atmosphere. It's made
of methane.
A moon orbits a star, a planet orbits
a satellite.
This planet has the largest volcano in

Compared to the gas giants, the

though they all have water.
