Objective - Using references, I can compare the physical properties of the planets (e.g., size, solid or gaseous). Name _____________________________________________________________ Comparison of Rocky Planets and Gas Giants (modified from a graphic organizer found at Amazing Space) Using the Solar System Fact Sheet, compare and contrast comets and asteroids. Rocky Planets Gas Giants Composition (of what are the rocky planets made) Composition (of what are gas giants made) List the rocky planets List the gas giants a. c. a. c. b. d. b. d. Can a spacecraft land on the rocky planets? Can a spacecraft land on the gas giants? Type of atmosphere (thick, thin, thick to very thick, etc.) Type of atmosphere (thick, thin, thick to very thick, etc.) Where found in Solar System (near to Sun or far away) Where found in Solar System (near to Sun, or far away) Temperature range of planets (lowest to highest) Temperatures of range planets (lowest to highest) Are the rocky planets larger or smaller compared to gas giants? Are the gas giants larger or smaller compared to rocky planets? Number of moons (many or from few to none) Number of moons (many or from few to none) ~1~ Objective - Using references, I can compare the physical properties of the planets (e.g., size, solid or gaseous).
