Student A claims there are 8 planets in the solar system while Student B claims there are 12, with evidence that Student B may be counting dwarf planets like Pluto. Earth has the third largest mass of the inner planets and contains water and life. Dr. Grumbles' claim that winter is colder because Earth is farther from the sun is wrong, as winter occurs in the northern hemisphere when that side of Earth is tilted away from the sun, while it is summer in the southern hemisphere. The path of the sun changes during seasons due to Earth's tilt and rotation, causing different angles of sunlight. Seasons would be different on Uranus compared to Earth as Uranus is colder and smaller with a ring of ice

b. People who think there are eight planets don’t count dwarf planets such as pluto
2. On which planet would you weigh the least? What is your evidence to prove this?
a. Answer: Im not exactly sure but I think you would weigh the least on Jupiter I think since it is
the biggest planet you will have the least weight
b. I think the gravitational pull will be bigger and you would be lighter
3. How does the mass of our planet compare to the other inner planets?
a. I think our planet is the third largest but im not positive.
b. Earth has water and contains life
4. Dr. Grumbles claims that it is colder during the winter because Earth is farther from the sun.
Provide evidence to prove him right or wrong?
a. Answer :No since its winter when the sun is not facing us
b. When it is winter in the usa it is summer in Austrailia because the sun is facing them and away
from us

b. The usa is facing the sun at different angles yearly and that cuases seasons
6. How would seasons on Uranus be different from Earth?
