Q1. Complete the table by viewing the videos of the planets of the solar system Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune Assignment Q1. Define a. b. c. d. e. f. Solar System A planet A star A moon A comet An asteroid Named after Mercury Time taken for one revolution Time taken for one rotation No. of moons Distance from the sun Large in terms of size Name of the planet Topography (Surface) Solid/Gaseous and Main Elements Constituents of the AtmosphereGases Present ExplorationYear, Space probe(s) sent g. A meteor h. A meteorite i. Milky Way Galaxy Q2. List the following a. b. c. d. e. f. g. Names of the eight planets of the solar system in the correct sequence. Any three dwarf planets of the solar system Any two terrestrial planets Any two gas giants Any three space probes sent by astronomers to explore planets The two most common gases found in the sun Two gases which make up most of the gas giants Q3. Name the following a. b. c. d. e. f. The galaxy in which our solar system is located The brightest planet in our solar system The planet of the solar system which has the brightest set of rings around it The dwarf planet which was considered as a planet till few years ago. The planet that has its axis tilted at an angle of 90 degrees A moon of the outer planet which contains huge amount of water Q4. Identify the member of our solar system from the given clues. a. b. c. d. e. f. g. h. i. j. I am the largest planet in the solar system. I take 88 days to orbit around the sun. I was the last planet to be discovered by astronomers I am also called the twin sister of the earth I am also known as the twin of the planet Neptune I appear in the solar system after a long period of time I am the area in the solar system which lies between Mars and Jupiter I am a planet that rotates on my axis in only 10 hours. I am a planet which has recorded the strongest winds in the solar system. I am the satellite of the planet Earth. Q5. Match the following a. b. c. d. e. Comets Saturn Meteors Venus Methane Q6. Distinguish between ________ ________ ________ ________ ________ 1. Shooting Stars 2. Have a glowing tail 3. Also called ‘veiled planet’ 4. Reflects sunlight to give blue tint to planets 5. 2nd largest planet in the solar system a. b. c. d. A star and a planet A comet and an asteroid Terrestrial planet and a gas giant Meteors and meteorites Q7. Write what would happen a. b. c. d. e. f. g. h. To Earth if Jupiter was not there! The heat and light from the sun stopped coming to earth! There was no atmosphere on the earth! The Earth moves closer to the sun! The axis of the Earth gets tilted at an angle of 90 degrees! The content of carbon dioxide increases to a large extent in the Earth’s atmosphere! The Earth takes 48 hours to complete one rotation! Q8. Give Reasons why a. b. c. d. e. f. g. h. i. j. k. l. m. n. o. p. q. r. The planets do not move away from the sun The sun does not have a solid surface. We would not be able to land any spacecraft on Jupiter It is very difficult to reach the planet mercury from earth. The surface of Mercury experiences more meteors attacks than the Earth Venus is often called our sister planet A day on Venus lasts longer than a year on the earth The earth and the moon together are known as a planetary system Every fourth year on the Earth has 366 days Mars takes more time to orbit around the sun than the earth In-spite of its huge size, Jupiter is not considered as a star Jupiter is termed after the king of all gods A day on Jupiter lasts only 10 hours compared to 24 hours in case of the earth Europa, a satellite of Jupiter is considered as a hotspot in search of extra terrestrial life The rings of the planet Saturn are clearly visible from the earth. Uranus appears blue in colour Uranus and Neptune were discovered very late by astronomers in the twentieth century Neptune is named after the roman god of the sea Q8. Imagine if you are an astronaut, which planet or satellite would you like to visit and why? Q9. Create a mnemonic to remember the names of the planets of our solar system. Q10. Explain any three characteristics of each of the planet that you have studied. Q11. Compare and contrast the planets given below with reference to their size, its composition, time taken to rotate on its axis and time taken to revolve around the sun. a. Earth and Neptune b. Venus and Uranus c. Mercury and Jupiter d. Mars and Jupiter
