THE PLANETS
All time and distances in Earth calculations
Objective: I can explain the relationship among
common objects in the solar system, galaxy, and the
universe.
Essential question: What are the similarities and
differences of the characteristics of our planets?
DENSITY
This is a graduated cylinder with different
liquids that have different densities.
The more dense being on the bottom and
the least dense being on the top.
It depends on the density of the liquid
whether it is will float or sink.
Water’s density is about 1g/cm3

common?
BELL WORK
Answer on Bell work paper: What is
the most unique characteristic about
Venus?
OUTER PLANETS
•Called “gas giants” because they are made of
mostly gases.
