Transcript The Inner and Outer Planets

 Terrestrial
 High
temperatures
 Closer to the Sun
 Closer to each other
 Closest
to the Sun
 Only 88 days to orbit
 Many craters
 Temperature
extremes
• 400C during day, -180
at night
 Basically
no
atmosphere
 Earth’s
sister planet
 Morning and evening
star
 Thick atmosphere of
CO2 and Sulfur
 Longer day than year
 Spins opposite than
other planets
 Over 500C all the
time
 Home
sweet home
 Only planet with
sustained life
 Hydrosphere (water)
 Atmosphere made up
of N, O, CO2
 Comfy temps
 Frozen
polar CO2
caps
 Smaller than Earth
 Slightly longer day
and year
 Very cold
 Largest mountain in
solar system
• Olympus Mons
 Thin
atmosphere
 Separates
the inner
and outer planets
 Possibly an
annihilated planet
 Most asteroids hang
out here
 Gas
giants
 No solid surface, just thick atmosphere
 All very large
 Very far apart from each other
 All have rings

Could hold 1300
Earths
Almost big enough to
be a star
12 EY = 1 Jovian year
1 Jovian day = 12 EH
Huge storms
 Great red spot
“hurricane” larger than
Earth

Some moons may
have water
 29
years to orbit
 Large rings made of
ice and dust
 10 hour day
 Possibly still forming
 Tilts itself
 Blue
in color due to
methane gas
 84 years to orbit
 Rotates sideways
 Very cold
• -250C
 Methane
atomosphere
 164 years to orbit
 -250c temps
 30 times farther from
the sun than Earth
