Naked Eye:◦Saturn◦Venus◦Mars◦Mercury ◦Jupiter
Require a Telescope:◦Neptune◦Uranus
Notes: Terrestrial (Inner) vs. Jovian (Outer) Planets
Grouped planets based on chemical and physical properties
Terrestrial: include Mercury, Venus, Earth & Mars ◦Small, dense, rocky

Quick WriteUnderneath your table, take 2
min. to summarize the main differences between terrestrial and jovian planets
Based on this information, do we need to change our predictions from yesterday?
Quiz-N-TradeEach person will receive a fact
