Presenting examples/instances of the new lesson
The solar system is composed of
the Sun and the eight planets,
such as Mercury, Venus, Earth,
Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and
Neptune.
These planets are classified as
inner planets and outer planets.
Presenting examples/instances of the new lesson
Each of the planets has different
characteristics. They differ in their
distance from the Sun, size, temperature,
and composition. Some planets are rocky
and small and do not have rings. Other
planets are gaseous and have rings.
They even differ in color, as seen on
Earth.

What are the inner planets?
The first four planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth
and Mars are called terrestrial or inner
planets. They are solid and are mostly made up
of rocks and metal; they do not have rings.
These are the planets closer to the Sun. Among
the four terrestrial planets Earth has one moon,
Mars has two moons, Mercury and Venus has
none. The terrestrial planets have common
features such as mountains and volcanoes.
Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills #1
What are the compositions of the
planets?
The terrestrial or inner planets have solid surfaces.
These planets are small and mostly made up of rock
and metal. They have silicate mantle surrounding a
metallic core composed mostly of iron. The Jovian or
outer planets are made up of hydrogen and helium
and they have small rocky core. Aside from being
called gas giants, Uranus and Neptune are also
called ice giants. The ice giants have interior
composition of compounds like water, methane and
ammonia
