Answers
1. the average distance between the
Earth and the Sun, or approximately
150,000,000 km
1 Astronomical unit (AU) - the average
distance between the Earth and the Sun,
or approximately 150,000,000 km
2. a unit of length equal to the distance
that light travels in space in one year
2. Light year - a unit of length equal to the
distance that light travels in space in one
year
3. Planet that is 4th from the Sun
3. Mars - Planet that is 4th from the Sun

2. Venus
-Virtually the same size, mass and
Density as Earth
-Sun rises in the west and sets in the
East because it rotates opposite to
Earth
-One day on Venus is about as long as
a year on Earth
-Hottest surface because the
atmosphere is a thick cloud of CO2
(464° C).
-Rains sulfuric acid
-No oceans, Active volcanoes
-No Moons
-Typically the brightest object in the
27
sky.
Standard: 4
Astronomy
3. Earth
Just the right distance from the sun
Temperatures are right to not
completely freeze or boil away the
water
28
4. Mars
Last Inner planet
Thin atmosphere and further from the
sun so it is a cold planet
Water is in solid form-ice
Largest volcanoes
2 moons
Rotation is 24 hours and 37 minutes –
Similar to the Earth.
Revolution takes 1 year, 322 days
