Create a chart comparing each planet's position in regards to the sun, each planet's revolution and rotation rate and compare the number of naturally- occurring satellites that orbit each celestial body. 2. Create a Venn Diagram comparing the inner and outer planets. 3. Pass the Solar system quiz... which tasks one and two will help you do....And you thought the book-"My teacher is an Alien" was fiction! The joke is on YOU! Good Luck Earthlings...

2. The following information will help you unravel the mysteries of the Milky Way galaxy. I I understand the structure and the principles that govern our solar system 0 1 2 3 4 5
