Planets & Distance

Essential Questions: What are the major components of the universe? (SPI ) How does the distance of objects in space from Earth affect how they appear? (SPI )

Terrestrial Planets Mercury Venus Earth Mars

Terrestrial Planets The inner planets closest to the Sun. “Earth-like” planets because they are small, dense, and rocky.

Mercury Closest planet to the Sun. Has no moons.

Venus Almost the same size, mass, and density as Earth. Earth’s “sister planet” Hottest planet in the solar system due to the greenhouse effect and a dense atmosphere.

Earth Known as the oasis in space and has the right condition for plants and animals.

Mars “Red-planet” Cold Site of the Olympus Mons-highest mountain in the solar system.

Gas Giants Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune

Gas Giants The outer planets. Very large and do not have any known solid surfaces.

Gas Giants vs. Terrestrial Planets

Jupiter The largest planet in the solar system. Has a permanent storm on its surface-Great Red Spot. Has at least 61 moons.

Saturn Planet with the largest rings.

Uranus Tipped on its side at a 90 degree angle.

Neptune Known as the blue world.

Pluto Now known as a dwarf planet. Does not fit into characteristics of terrestrial or gas.

Distance The closer a planet or object to Earth the larger it looks. The father away a planet or object is to Earth the smaller it looks.
