Compare and contrast the various planetary bodies of our solar system, including their locations
and physical characteristics. Provide a detailed “travelogue” moving from the Sun to the outer
parts of the solar system. Why do the physical characteristics of the planets change moving
away from the Sun? What will be an ideal response?
The student should provide a brief description of the planets, asteroids, moons, and comets of our
solar system. There should be a discussion of the contrasting character of the terrestrial planets
and the Jovian planets. How do we get our information about these bodies? Remote sensing and
analysis of samples of these bodies (meteorites and samples acquired by space missions) provide
our only information about other bodies.
