The Sun gives us heat, light, our food, and the air that we breathe. It powers the atmosphere to give us the winds and rain. Even the coal and oil that generate electricity for light and power come from plants and animals that lived hundreds of millions of years ago and depended on the Sun for life.

Terrestrial Planets (Earth-like) – small and rocky

• Terrestrial Planets (Earth-like) – small and rocky

• Mercury, Venus, Earth, & Mars

• Jovian Planets – huge has giants

• Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, & Neptune

• *Pluto does not fit well into either category*

Use your textbook (reading, tables, & figures on pgs. 645-647) to create a chart comparing Terrestrial & Jovian Planets

• You have 10 minutes to work quietly in your desk

• When I give you permission, you may talk to your elbow partner!

Factors to consider:

• Factors to consider:

• Distance between planets
• Size of diameter
• Density
• Speed of Rotation
• Atmosphere
• Composition (what are these planets made of)

Nutation: a small irregularity in the precession of the equinoxes

• Precession: slow, top-like wobbling of the spinning Earth.

• What is the tilt of the earth? 

• What does "oblate" mean? Why does this affect precession? 

• When he changes the weight, what happens to the rod on the steel sphere? 

• THINK ABOUT IT CHALLENGE QUESTION: What does this mean for explorers who use the North Star as a means of navigation?

Precession is the slight adjustment in how we rotate due to an imbalance in our rotation.

• Precession is the slight adjustment in how we rotate due to an imbalance in our rotation.

• Nutation is HOW FAR OUT we wobble with precession.

• Imagine a top spinning like in the video--precession would be the angle at which we wobble, nutation is how far out each wobble goes!

• You may use or textbook, Internet, & any additional resources

• Your projects must include a drawing of your planet and the following information in a 2-paragraph (4-5 sent.) write-up:

• Planetary data (chart on pg. 645), location in solar system, type of planet (Terrestrial or Jovian), unique characteristics, surface features, surface temperature, moons, rings
