Astronomy 1. Weekly Quiz  In place of a quiz this week, you must be able to identify each inner planet and give several facts for each.  So pay attention!!!!

The Inner Planets. Mercury Small Weak gravitational force No atmosphere Many craters.

 Small, have rocky surfaces  Terrestrial Planets: meaning earth.

SNC 1D. The Inner Planets  Terrestrial  Rocky iron core  High temperatures  Closer to the Sun  Closer to each other  Smaller than the outer planets.

The Inner Planets. The Inner Planets are:  Small: Compared to the Outer Planets  Rocky: Rocky surface – thin atmosphere  Dense: Heavy for their size.

Overview of Common Characteristics of the Terrestrial Planets (1)Have relatively high surface temperatures - Located close to the sun (2) Have high densities.

VENUS. “Twin” or “Sister” planet of the earth  similar size, mass, density; interior should also be similar with iron core, mantle, crust But totally.
