Start of MS ?’s 30. Students researched the Internet to learn who discovered the planets. To their amazement, only 3 of the 8 planets had “official” discoverers because all the other planets are easily seen with the unaided human eye. For the discovery of the 3 planets, it required a good – Camera Microscope Pair of binoculars Telescope

Many students have misconceptions about our solar system
Many students have misconceptions about our solar system. Some students incorrectly believe Earth is the center of our solar system. Others believe the objects in the solar system are close together, when actually the solar system is so large that models are constructed to study it. All of the following are reasons why scientists use models EXCEPT – To see an example To visit the planets To make predictions To visualize their ideas
