    Uploaded by

    Jose Ramón Vázquez Otero
    The document provides information about the differences between inner and outer planets, asteroids and comets, and planets and dwarf planets. It then asks questions about characteristics of planets in our solar system based on a chart, including which planet is smallest, has the fewest satellites, has a horizontal axis, is farthest from the sun, has an atmosphere with oxygen, and has the lowest and highest surface temperatures. Finally, it asks to identify pictures of Mars, Jupiter, a comet, and the Moon.

    The inner planets are small and rocky planets,
    while the outer planets are big and gaseous.
    The inner planets have thick and light atmospheres,
    while the outer planets have thick and dense atmospheres.
    The inner planets have few satellites,
    while the outer planets have many satellites.

    asteroids and comets


    Asteroids are small rocky bodies
    while comets are bodies of ice, dust and gas.
    Asteroids are in the Asteroid Belt and the Kuiper Belt,
    while comets come from the Oort cloud.

    planets and dwarf planets


    Planets are big round rocky or gaseous bodies that are alone in their orbit,
    while dwarf planets are small and round rocky bodies which have not cleared their orbit
    around the Sun of other similar bodies.
