Planets.
THE SUN
Mercury

Earth
Mars
Asteroid Belt
Mercury is a small, rocky
planet. ~ Mercury has
been visited by the
Mariner 10 spacecraft.
Mariner 10 has mapped a
little less than half (45%)
of Mercury's surface. ~
Scientists think that there
may be *volcanic activity*
on Mercury. They are still
studying information sent
to Earth from the Mariner
spacecraft to make
sure. ~ The
temperature on Mercury
ranges from 90 K to 700
K.
Venus is a small, rocky planetblanketed in a thick layer of yellowish
clouds. These clouds are not made of water (like the ones here on
Earth). Instead, they are formed from a poison called sulfuric
acid. ~ Venus' surface is very hot - about 400 degrees
Celsius! ~ Even though Venus is very cloudy, it's simply *too hot*
for rain to form. ~ The first spacecraft to visit Venus was Mariner
2 in 1962. Venus has since been visited by more than 20 spacecraft
in all so far! Some of these visiting spacecraft include: Pioneer
Venus, Venera 7, Venera 9 and Magellan.
Earth is a small, rocky planet which supports a variety of life! As far as we know, Earth is unique
from all other planets in this respect. ~ Temperatures at the Earth's center (called the "core")
may be as high as 7500 K - That's hotter than the surface of the Sun! ~ The Earth is the densest
major body in the solar system. This means that it's the most "compact" of all the planets. For
example, you have two loaves of bread, both of the same amount. You smash one loaf of bread flat.
Even though both loaves are of the same amount, the smashed bread is *denser* because it is more
compact. The Earth is 4.5 to 4.6 billion years old, but the oldest known rocks are less than 4 billion
years old. Rocks older than 3 billion years are rare. The oldest fossils of living organisms are less
than 3.9 billion years old! ~ The Earth is orbited by one moon.
The Sun is by far the largest object in the solar system. It
contains more than 99.8% of the total mass of the Solar
System. All energy for our solar system comes from the sun.
Check out the Corona Ejections
The Sun is, at present, about 70% hydrogen and 28%
helium by mass everything else ("metals") amounts to less
than 2%. The sun is approximately 93 million miles from
Earth.

Mars is a small, rocky planet which is cold and lifeless. ~ The first spacecraft to visit
Mars was Mariner 4 in 1965. Several others followed including the two Viking landers in
1976. After a long break, Mars Pathfinder landed successfully on Mars on July 4,
1997. ~ Mars has permanent ice caps at both poles made up mostly of solid carbon
dioxide. We know this as "dry ice." ~ Very strong winds and vast dust storms
sometimes blow through the entire planet for months! ~ Mars has two tiny moons
which orbit very close to the surface. Their names are Phobos and Deimos.

• Use the laptops to try and find the answer.
• Present your answer to the class in under 50 words.
You have 25 minutes starting now!
• Answers:
– One theory:
• Many believe that the demise of flowing water on the
surface could have resulted from gradual climate
change over many millennia as the planet lost its
atmosphere. No more volcanoes = no more carbon
dioxide emissions.
• Answers:
– Another theory:
• Mars is smaller than the Earth. When the magma
cooled, the Electro-Magnetic Field decreased and solar
winds hit the planet evaporating the water and
atmosphere into space.

  • 1. • Opportunity, MER-B (Mars Exploration Rover B)
  • 4. • RED SLIDE: These are notes that are very important and should be recorded in your science journal. Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy
  • 5. -Nice neat notes that are legible and use indentations when appropriate. -Example of indent. -Skip a line between topics -Don’t skip pages -Make visuals clear and well drawn.
  • 6. • RED SLIDE: These are notes that are very important and should be recorded in your science journal. • BLACK SLIDE: Pay attention, follow directions, complete projects as described and answer required questions neatly. Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy
  • 7.  New Area of Focus: Mars
  • 10. If you weighed 100 lbs on Earth, you would weigh 38 lbs on Mars.
  • 11. If you weighed 100 lbs on Earth, you would weigh 38 lbs on Mars.
  • 12. If you weighed 100 lbs on Earth, you would weigh 38 lbs on Mars.
  • 13. • Activity Sheet Available: Research Inner Planets.
  • 14. THE SUN Mercury Venus Earth Mars Asteroid Belt Mercury is a small, rocky planet. ~ Mercury has been visited by the Mariner 10 spacecraft. Mariner 10 has mapped a little less than half (45%) of Mercury's surface. ~ Scientists think that there may be *volcanic activity* on Mercury. They are still studying information sent to Earth from the Mariner spacecraft to make sure. ~ The temperature on Mercury ranges from 90 K to 700 K. Venus is a small, rocky planetblanketed in a thick layer of yellowish clouds. These clouds are not made of water (like the ones here on Earth). Instead, they are formed from a poison called sulfuric acid. ~ Venus' surface is very hot - about 400 degrees Celsius! ~ Even though Venus is very cloudy, it's simply *too hot* for rain to form. ~ The first spacecraft to visit Venus was Mariner 2 in 1962. Venus has since been visited by more than 20 spacecraft in all so far! Some of these visiting spacecraft include: Pioneer Venus, Venera 7, Venera 9 and Magellan. Earth is a small, rocky planet which supports a variety of life! As far as we know, Earth is unique from all other planets in this respect. ~ Temperatures at the Earth's center (called the "core") may be as high as 7500 K - That's hotter than the surface of the Sun! ~ The Earth is the densest major body in the solar system. This means that it's the most "compact" of all the planets. For example, you have two loaves of bread, both of the same amount. You smash one loaf of bread flat. Even though both loaves are of the same amount, the smashed bread is *denser* because it is more compact. The Earth is 4.5 to 4.6 billion years old, but the oldest known rocks are less than 4 billion years old. Rocks older than 3 billion years are rare. The oldest fossils of living organisms are less than 3.9 billion years old! ~ The Earth is orbited by one moon. The Sun is by far the largest object in the solar system. It contains more than 99.8% of the total mass of the Solar System. All energy for our solar system comes from the sun. Check out the Corona Ejections The Sun is, at present, about 70% hydrogen and 28% helium by mass everything else ("metals") amounts to less than 2%. The sun is approximately 93 million miles from Earth.

Mars is a small, rocky planet which is cold and lifeless. ~ The first spacecraft to visit Mars was Mariner 4 in 1965. Several others followed including the two Viking landers in 1976. After a long break, Mars Pathfinder landed successfully on Mars on July 4, 1997. ~ Mars has permanent ice caps at both poles made up mostly of solid carbon dioxide. We know this as "dry ice." ~ Very strong winds and vast dust storms sometimes blow through the entire planet for months! ~ Mars has two tiny moons which orbit very close to the surface. Their names are Phobos and Deimos. The Sun is by far the largest object in the solar system. It contains more than 99.8% of the total mass of the Solar System.

  • 133. • Answers: – One theory: • Many believe that the demise of flowing water on the surface could have resulted from gradual climate change over many millennia as the planet lost its atmosphere. No more volcanoes = no more carbon dioxide emissions.
  • 134. • Answers: – Another theory: • Mars is smaller than the Earth. When the magma cooled, the Electro-Magnetic Field decreased and solar winds hit the planet evaporating the water and atmosphere into space.
