02. The scale of things
How far away from each other are the objects in our Solar System?
Activity - use the instructions provided in the two videos to produce a chart in Google Sheets that shows the relationship between the distance a planet is from the Sun and the length of its year.
Video 1 - making a chart of Distance from Sun against Length of year using Google Sheets.
Video 2 - adding annotations to the chart using Google Drawings.
On your graph:
identify the relationship.
label each of the planets
Activity - use the same approach to produce an annotated chart that shows the relationship between the Planets and their average surface temperature.
Data sheet: Average temperature of planets
Which of the planet's surface temperatures doesn't fit the same pattern as the rest?
- this is called and anomalous result.
Research why the average surface temperature of this planet doesn't fit the same pattern as the rest and add this explanation to your chart.
