    Inner planets have an
    average diameter of about 13000 km,
    they move slowly as they are heavier-
    being made up of metals and rock;

    outer planets have an


    average diameter of about 48000 km
    and are made of hydrogen and
    helium gases, therefore they move
    faster due to lesser weight
    Inner planets have fewer
    moons, small, silicate surface,
    nickel-iron core, higher density
    and rotate slowly compared to
    Outer planets which have
    greater number of moons, faster
    rotation, no solid part, lower
    density and rings (in the case of
    Jupiter and Saturn)
    Outer planets
    spin faster than inner
    planets which spin
    slowly
    What do you call the movement
    of Earth on its axis?
    The earth rotates about an
    imaginary line that passes
    through the North and
    South Poles of the planet.
    This line is called the axis of
    rotation.
    How long does earth
    rotate on its axis?

    Earth rotates about this


    axis once each day
    (approximately 24 hours).
    Venus takes 243
    days for one
    rotation.
    What does the minus sign
    suggest in the table’s
    period of rotation?
    If you were born
    on Mars, would
    you be older or
    younger than your
    age now? Why?
    The planet Mars is
    farther from the sun
    than Earth.
    Which do you think
    has a longer year,
    Earth or Mars? Why?
    Choose the letter of the correct answer.
    1.A day on Saturn takes about 10
    Earth hours. Which fact would best
    explain this short day?
    A Saturn is less dense than
    Earth.
    B Saturn is much farther
    from the Sun than Earth.
    C Saturn rotates more
    rapidly than Earth.
    D Saturn’s orbit has greater
    eccentricity than Earth’s.
    2.Earth's rotation
    (turning on its axis)
    causes
    A day and night
    B Solar Eclipse
    C. The season to
    change.
    D The moon to appear
    as different shapes.
    3.Which of the following
    is true?
    A. Earth rotates on its axis as it
    revolves around the sun.
    B. The sun revolves around the earth
    while earth is rotating.
    C. Earth rotates once a month as it
    revolves around the sun.
    D. Earth completes one rotation in 365
    days.
    4. Which of the following
    causes rotation of the Earth?
    I. Day and night
    II. Wind Deflection
    III. Climate changes
    IV. Differences of time in different
    places.

    A.I only C. I,II,III


    B. I and II D. I,II IV
    5.Which causes the
    deflection of the wind from
    the poles to the equator and
    vice versa?
    A.Rotation of the Earth
    B.Revolution of the Earth
    C.Tilting of Earth’s axis
    D.Vertical rays of the sun

    following the outer
    planets rotates the
    slowest?
    A.Jupiter C. Uranus
