(Lots of pretty pictures. No math.) Terrestrial Planets! (Lots of pretty pictures. No math.)

Mercury - very thin atmosphere - really close to the Sun - really really hot or really really cold - you can see stars during the day!

Venus - very THICK atmosphere - kind of close to the Sun - really really really hot (all the time) - really really really high surface pressure

Earth - nice atmosphere - somewhat close to the Sun - sometimes hot, sometimes cold, sometimes in between - axial tilt causes seasons for 2 reasons...

Moon - very thin atmosphere - lots of big craters filled with lava - lots of little craters - not much weather

Mars - very thin atmosphere - Valles Marineris - Olympus Mons - dusty and red - Martians

Things you might find on planets... - mountains Mountains have a lot of “relief.”

Things you might find on planets... - mountains - craters

Things you might find on planets... - mountains - craters - water Dendritic river bed: Which way is water flowing?

Things you might find on planets... - mountains - craters - water River bed on Mars: Where and which way did water flow?

Things you might find on planets... - mountains - craters - water - volcanoes Shield volcano: Runny lava causes gently sloping sides.

Things you might find on planets... - mountains - craters - water - volcanoes Composite volcano: Thick lava causes steep sides.

Things you might find on planets... - mountains - craters - water - volcanoes - earthquakes Movement of tectonic plates along fault lines.
