This interactive powerpoint uses hyperlinks to create a quiz. This allows you to input information about a planet by answering the three questions, and then have one of 27 custom planets be selected for you. Originally made for a science project/report

1. Title Page

2. STARTWhat size will your planet be?
• Size class will determine the size of the planet, thereby outlining the types
of life that can possible grow there. The bigger the planet, the more
gravity, and the harder it is for life to grow tall, meaning a planet of short,
thick life resembling hippos or elephants or slugs. Whereas a small planet
would have tall, thin life forms like giraffes or mosquitoes Gravity also
determines atmosphere density. A large planet will be able to hold on to a
thicker atmosphere, while on a small planet the air will be thin. Thicker
atmosphere also generally means more flying creatures, as it is easy for
wings to grab onto a dense atmosphere.
• A (Mars sized)
• B (Earth sized)
• C (About twice the size of the Earth)

3. AHow far from its sun will your planet be?
• Distance from the planet’s sun will determine the temperature of the
planet, which determines several aspects of the life inhabiting it, including
how they find water, as the temperature will determine the abundance of
liquid water. A colder planet, farther from its sun, will have beings that use
mainly ice as their source of liquid water, most likely adapting a way to
melt it. On hotter planets, water will be scarce, and life will have adapted
to either suck it out of the air or not require very much.
• A 67,240,000 miles (Venus Distance From Sun(DFS))
• B 92,960,000 miles (Earth DFS)
• C 141,600,000 miles (Mars DFS)

4. AWhat is your planet’s orbit like?
• A planet’s orbit determines environmental stability. A planet with a stable
orbit will have constant seasons, days, and weather. Because weather is
caused by temperature difference, a planet with a constant non-erratic
orbit will have zones that don’t change temperature, meaning steady
winds. A tidally locked world will have a constant weather system, with
winds always going in one direction depending on where you are.
• A Tidally locked world(One side constantly facing
sun)
• B Stable earth-like orbit with earth like weather,
seasons, and years
• C Erratic unpredictable orbit with crazed weather
and unpredictable climate change,

5. Clorianth
• Clorianth is a small planet, about the size of mars, with low gravity. Being tidally locked, one
side is superheated, constantly facing the sun with the other side incredibly cold, facing away.
It is impossible for life to arise on either of these, as liquid water cannot exist. However, in
between the two sides, in a ring going around the vertical circumference of the planet, is a
small swamp zone, with a abundance of liquid water, the perfect temperature for life.
• Habiting this planet are large, tall life forms. The long-legged Mizzaks jump through the air
from water source to water source, feeding on the trees from behind. On the sun-side of the
zone is a huge forest of ClurTrees, large fanlike trees that lean over to one side to take in the
sunlight. Behind their fans they grow furzik, an orange fruit that the Mizzaks love. In the huge
mountains to the east of the planet, there live Cruzas, the principal predator of the planet.
They glide leap and glide through the air, jumping down on unsuspecting Blozax, who are the
equivalent of cows on that planet.
• However, the environment isn’t hostile enough for fast evolution. The planet will most likely
stay this way for another several million years, adaptation stagnant at best because there is
nothing new to adapt to.

6. Haraxus
• This planet is very similar to earth. It has an earth like orbit, is the same distance
from the sun as the earth, and is even roughly the same size. Covered with green
plants and large, complex life, this planet is perfect for life to exist. It is the perfect
size, the perfect distance, the only thing wrong is the orbit. Because of the
inherent stability of the orbit, the conditions are stable. This means that life is put
on easy mode, so to speak. Evolution isn’t as abundant as a crazed erratic planet
with a mad orbit. It is, slow. So, of course, the life there isn’t as advanced as it
could be. However, it is home to a diverse ecosystem, with 6 different
categorizations of life falling under two major groups. The first, the trivertibrates ,
have three full backbones. This group has two subgroups, the Carvids, with spikey
protrusions used to sense their surroundings, and the Murids, with two long spikes
instead of the body covering. The Bivertibrates, on the other hand, have two
backbones, granting a wide range of vertical movement, but not much horizontal.

7. BHow far from its sun will your planet be?
• Distance from the planet’s sun will determine the temperature of the
planet, which determines several aspects of the life inhabiting it, including
how they find water, as the temperature will determine the abundance of
liquid water. A colder planet, farther from its sun, will have beings that use

8. BWhat is your planet’s orbit like?
