Inner and Outer Planets & Fall Fest Class Basket Information

 

 

Differences between the Inner and Outer Planets

Orbiting the Sun are eight planets. Despite all of these planets being different from each other, they can be put into two groups. One group contains the four planets closest to the Sun - Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. These are known as the Inner Planets or the Terrestrial Planets. The other group contains the four planets furthest from the Sun - Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. These are known as the Outer Planets or the Gas Giants. The two groups are separated by the Asteroid Belt, a region of thousands of asteroids in orbit of the Sun between Mars and Jupiter. Below is a table containing differences between the two groups of planets.


Hello Everyone,
I hope you all are enjoying Fall break!  This is a gentle reminder to please purchase gift cards for our class fundraiser basket and please send them in to the class by Friday, October 24th.  You can get your gift card from where ever you choose ... any type, any place, and any amount!  Please send them in an envelope addressed to Stacey Sheppard. 
Thanks!
Stacey
