Description

The planets of the Solar System can be divided into two major classes, terrestrial and Jovian planets, but each planet has their own interesting characteristics. With the Stellarium planetarium software, you can get a close up view of the planets and see their features for yourself.

In this part of the project, use a computer simulation to examine the physical characteristics of planets of the Solar System. Please read through the assignment background information and follow the steps listed in the lab assignment instructions. You will be asked to form a hypothesis, state the lab objective, record your measurements and calculations, and answer each of the lab questions.

Module 03 – Physical Characteristics of Planets
The planets of the Solar System can be divided into two major classes, terrestrial and Jovian planets, but
each planet has their own interesting characteristics. With the Stellarium planetarium software, you can
get a close up view of the planets and see their features for yourself.
Background Question – Describe three characteristics of a planet that you think you could measure from
visual observations.
Concerning this lab, I believe I will be capable to measure the quantity of moons, color and diameters
of each Planet
Object: Explain the purpose of this laboratory assignment in your own words. What do you think you will
accomplish or learn from this exercise?
The reason of this scheme is to assess similarities and differences among planets with our study, along
with being able to assess record and examine their features.
Hypothesis: Write a simple hypothesis connected to planetary features that you will be able to test using
the Stellarium software (for example, Jovian planets have faster rotation period than terrestrial planets)
