The document provides information about the 8 planets in our solar system as well as 3 dwarf planets - Pluto, Ceres, and Eris. It discusses key facts about each planet such as their distance from the sun, rotation and revolution periods, composition of their atmospheres, and notable features. It also defines common terms like revolve, rotate, and orbit. Key differences between the inner and outer planets are that inner planets are smaller and closer to the sun while outer planets are large gaseous spheres with rings.
The Solar System is composed of the Sun and the celestial objects which are gravitationally bound to it: planets, moons, dwarf planets and their four known moons, asteroids, meteoroids, comets, and interplanetary dust.
This is a presentation that I completed for EDU 290 in the Fall 2009. The intent of the assignment was to create a lesson that could be used by a student that missed the classroom instruction due to illness
A PowerPoint presentation designed for 5th graders that teaches facts about Mercury, including the Mariner 10 and MESSENGER probes that NASA sent to study it. This is Part 1 of the inner planets.

This presentation provides a briefing on how to upload submissions and documents in Google Classroom. It was prepared as part of an orientation for new Sainik School in-service teacher trainees. As a training officer, my goal is to ensure that you are comfortable and proficient with this essential tool for managing assignments and fostering student engagement.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
The Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities. For Class 10, it's essential to grasp the sectors of the Indian economy, understand their characteristics, and recognize their importance. This guide will provide detailed notes on the Sectors of the Indian Economy Class 10, using specific long-tail keywords to enhance comprehension.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. General Information 1) Define Revolve: The circling of a smaller object around a larger object. 2) Define Rotate: The spinning of an object on its axis. 3) How many planets have been found in our solar system?8 planets 4) Which planets are the inner planets? Mercury ,Venus ,Earth, Mars 5)Which planets are the outer planets?: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune 6) What is the difference between the inner and outer planets? The inner planets were bombarded by some asteroids and meteorites. The Outer planets have rings and they are large gaseous spheres. 7) Why are more craters found on the inner planets compared to the outer planets? Because the inner planets were bombarded by some asteroids and meteorites. 8) Define orbit: A specific path followed by a planet, satellite, etc.
3. General Information (Cont.) 9) What are three requirements to be considered a planet? There are 3 requirements to considered a planet, the planet has to orbit around the sun. It has to have enough mass to become round. It also have its own orbit path around the sun. 10)What is a dwarf planet? Dwarf planet is a new class of astronomical objects. 11)List 3 dwarf planets: Pluto, Ceres, and Eris.
5. Mercury Average Solar Distance:57.8 million km Revolution Period: 87.9 Earth days Rotation Period :58.6 Earth days Diameter:4878 km
6. Mercury (Cont) What causes Mercury’s atmosphere? Mercury has no substantial atmosphere. What two elements can be found in the atmosphere? Mercury’s atmosphere is made out with helium and sodium. What three processes shaped Mercury? Impact catering: some large objects struck the surface. Volcanism: the lava flooded the surface. Tectonic activity: when the planet’s crust move and collide each other.
7. Venus Average Solar Distance :108.2 million km Revolution Period :224.7 Earth days Rotation Period :243 Earth days Diameter :12,100 km
8. Venus (Cont) Why is Venus referred to as the “Evening Star”? It is because Venus is the brightest planet that can be seen from the earth. What two elements can be found in the atmosphere? Carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid. What is retrograde rotation? Rotation which is having a direction which is opposite that of similar bodies. Why is a day on Venus longer than a year on Venus? Because it rotate in retrograde rotation and rotation takes 243 days but the orbit around the sun takes 225 days. If you were standing on Venus, why would the Sun appear to rise in the west and set in the east? Venus has retrograde rotation which means it rotates in the opposite side from the earth.
