Document Summary

The first part of the planetary tour of our solar system starts with the four terrestrial (earth-like) planets mercury, We will study their dense, rocky-metallic geologic structures and activities within; explore how their surfaces are sculpted; and finally review the basic dynamics of their atmospheres. Main topics: structure of planetary interiors and surfaces, shaping planetary surfaces, planetary atmospheres. 7. 2 patterns in the solar system (pages 205-206) Note: this section is intended to give you only an overview of the planets; important trends and processes to learn come below. Important notes: make sure you view all of the. Interactive figures in the readings: you can omit all mathematical insight sections. You should also complete the following activities in the study area" of mastering astronomy: Self-guided tutorials: shaping planetary surfaces, surface temperature of terrestrial planets. Terrestrial or, earth-like planets have features that are both similar and different from each other.
